Styling Your Wig

One of the best things about wearing wigs is the variety of different hairstyles you can sport. You can cultivate a collection of synthetic wigs in different styles and colors. Or, if you have a human hair wig you can color and style the same the ways you wish. Styling your wig can be easy with the right resources and tools.

While wigs these days are incredibly natural looking, they do require some special tools and treatment to style them without damaging the hair.

Styling Synthetic Wigs

A major appeal of synthetic wigs is that they come pre-styled. They don’t require a ton of maintenance and styling to look good. If you’d simply like to freshen up your wig’s styling, here are some tips:

  • Synthetic wig products: Only use products designed for synthetic wigs to keep your piece in good condition. Try adding volume with a specialized flexible wig spray gel.
  • Spray bottle: Using clean water, spritz your wig and use your fingers to add a little volume and smooth frizzy areas.
  • Wig brushes/combs: Only for use on straight wigs. The specialized brushes/combs have soft, rounded bristles so they don’t damage the fibers. Using them on wavy or curly wigs can result in a frizzy look.
  • Mannequin head: You should always store your wig on a mannequin head to protect the fibers and preserve the hairstyle.

If you would like your synthetic wig to have a significantly different look, take it to a salon where a professional can safely cut and styled it to your liking.

Versatile Styling for Human Hair Wigs

When it comes to styling a human hair wig, you have the ability to style it to your preference. This is especially true for lace front and 360 lace wigs with natural hairlines that allow for ponytails and other up-dos.

Human hair wigs can be styled straight, curly, wavy, updos, ponytails, messy buns, half up/half down, and more! But take note, you should never style your wig wet! Always allow it to air dry completely before using and styling products or tools.

Here are some useful tools and products that will help you achieve the perfect style.

  • Mannequin head: For storing and styling your wig and preserving the hairstyle.
  • Heat-protecting spray: If you use heated styling tools, always treat the hair with a heat-protecting spray to prevent damage and prolong the life of your wig.
  • Heated combs or brushes: Ensure that your style lays as flat as possible for a sleek look.
  • Flexible curling rods: These are an excellent heat-free option for styling your wigs.
  • Curling wand: You don’t want to over-use heated tools on wigs, but used periodically, curling wands are a great way to achieve waves and curls.
