The joy of wearing a wig has to be its incredible versatility. With a wig, you have the power to transform your look in an instant thanks to the endless styling options available via our collection. From sleek bobs, longer locks and voluminous curls to the boldest hues and subtlest highlights, wigs inspire you to be a true style chameleon.
Whether you’re seeking transformation just in time for that special occasion or want to refresh your everyday style, wigs make it easy to experiment without the long-term commitment. As you’ll discover however, getting the balance between indulging all those creative urges and avoiding potential wig damage right isn’t easy. In this blog post, we share our top tips for styling your wig to help you on your way!
The style you desire will only hold if you start with a solid base. With this in mind, your wig needs to be clean and detangled before styling. Use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb to do just that, detangling from the ends and working your way upwards towards the cap to minimise shedding and breakages. Following detangling and washing, be sure to air dry your wig thoroughly.
To help you on your detangling mission, we recommend spritzing your synthetic style with our Revive Conditioning Spray.
This specially formulated, wig-friendly leave-in product not only makes the task of detangling a whole lot easier, it can protect wig fibres from tangling the next time round. It also deodorises and adds shine for a sleek, beautiful finish. Apply to wet or dry synthetic wigs for the best results.
If you have a bouncier finish in mind and wish to add curls or twists to your wig style, opting for a heatless method is what we’d suggest. Flexi rods, perm rods and foam rollers all work a treat and are a surprisingly easy route to beautiful waves or curls without using any heated tools at all. Alternatively, you can braid wig fibres to add texture and volume.
Heat styling is something you should avoid to protect your wig from damage. But, if you have to use heated tools like straighteners, curlers and hairdryers, be sure to protect wig fibres from their damaging effects. There’s a tip we mentioned earlier that may just help before you even start styling as Marie Claire details:
“Oderinwale agrees, adding that the key to long-lasting results starts before you even switch on your tools. ‘Always detangle before styling and use a heat protectant,’ she advises. For the best finish, she suggests ‘styling your wig on a mannequin head and using wig-friendly products to prevent dryness or product buildup.’”
Once your wig is prepared, mist with a light, wig-friendly heat protectant to safeguard fibres further, and keep your wig looking and feeling fabulous.
