HELP! My heat friendly synthetic wig is a DISASTER? How to use HEAT to revive a wig!

[@astrocalm812]

Wow, Denise! Already beautiful, you now look 20 years younger! I, too have transformed my life, weight & health via clean keto. Truly a miracle to be in better shape than any phase of my life, 110 lbs lighter and "normal" feeling, at 62.

[@lidip8700]

👏 I need to get back on keto. I did really well on it but my hubby didn't really enjoy it. Lol When you get too busy you go for the quick & easy which is usually unhealthy.

[@starquality6153]

Thank you, Thank you Thank you ,so very very much. I did not know this and i have worn wigs about 4 years now. This helps alot. i wear only bobs.This is Brilliant.

[@normamunoz9643]

Thanks I really needed this information 😢 I used my topper this weekend for my daughter’s wedding and had it styled with a stylist. It came out so nice but she put so much product in. I washed it off and was trying to style it and it looks fried from the ends 😮 I almost threw it away! So I’ll try all your tips ❤thanks!

[@lauraleigh7209]

This video is so timely. I have an Upstage that's frayed and clumping. I will be purchasing that brush. You are such a bright light. Thank you so much for all that you give to us.

[@mitzicouncil4097]

Hey Denise! This was really helpful. I love Fiery Copper, just haven't been brave enough to get one yet! I don't know if I've shared this with you before but L'ange has a tool called the Le Duo. It's like a flat iron on the plates but the outer casing is a round barrel that blows cool air so if you use it like a curling iron it makes a curl and sets it all at once! I've used it a lot on my heat friendly pieces to change or reset a style and it's works like a DREAM!! No holding curls waiting for them to cool. It's like one and done, easy peasy lemon squeezy!! I don't work for L'ange and get nothing at all for recommending it, I just like to share it to make this journey easier for my wig sisters! God bless!!

[@allyirvine7537]

Thanks for all that you do! I’ve learned a lot and for the first time I feel that I’m looking natural in my wigs rather than like having a nest perched on my head!

[@heywigsister]

YAY!!

[@coastdaze748]

So true re: those heat friendly pieces! I knew they needed heat here and there, but didn't realize how often for the longer, 16" styles, would need heat. I bit the bullet and took my Belle Tress Tea Leaf and Straight Press pieces and flat ironed them good! And know what? I was going to give them away but the heat beating I have 'em really worked to make them silky soft again. Who knew? I did have to work to get a soft wave back into Tea Leaf, but at least I have them looking good again...not perfect like brand new, but still good.

[@LD-io9zv]

Looks great and thank you for this tutorial. I agree it’s much trickier to heat treat curly heat resistant fibers. After watching somebody else’s tutorial , I straighten my RW Wavy Day with my heat comb tool. My heat comb is especially sold for synthetic wigs. It really straightened the fibers - but also the perma tease ! Just letting you know that afterwards it was not a good look because you could see through to the wefts . Do not know how to put the wig back together again 😢

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Love that wig! And it looks super on you too!🤗

[@janishuey3639]

Me, too! They finally came out with some grays, which are apparently much in demand and hard to come by.

[@lidip8700]

Oh my goodness! Nobody ever told me I needed to take heat to the RW heat-friendly wigs I bought. I made the mistake of buying the RW Editor's Elite Pick as my first wig. So I had a stylist thin it & trim it but the curls got nasty, even after I washed it in downy & added a dab of oil. So it sits in a box. I stick with Upstage & Crowd Pleaser, and again trim & thin to my face. I also made the mistake of straightening one of them & thought I could curl it again because I watched a video stating the wig will return to its style..... which is true for washing it but not if you use a flat iron. THX DENISE!!!!

[@heywigsister]

The tricky part about Editor's Pick is that if you do what I did here you will straighten out the curl pattern... I actually talk about this in this video using Editor's Pick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5KVlXWtn7B4os0si=OMoWYuDqNwZNArqf

[@kathleenbeauchemin8146]

Denise...AMAZING! Thank you so much 💓 I have 2 Advanced French Wigs that I'm just beside myself with. Was going to throw them out. But I think I'll try some heat. They are both relatively new! Then the frizz began and I didn't know how to handle it since o washed them and in the box they went! I think I'll revisit them now..I have a steamer, hot air brush and flat iron. Will definitely look into that brush that you have. Will be messaging you today..you are so amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lisagarstka2960]

This is so helpful! Trying to find my first wig and think I will return my wavy, heat-friendly bob for a straight one. I pretty sure an easier piece will make my wig journey more successful!

[@ChrissyGrace2611]

Excellent! Just sent this to a friend to help her. I love your content Denise. I have the Revlon blow dryer brush similar to that and it gets so hot is is hard to use. It burns my ears and hands. I’m going to try this one.

[@debistanley2791]

Wow, thank you. I needed this. I have 2 heat friendly, one needs touching up and the other is new, need to wake her up in every way. I didn’t have a clue what to do with them. so they’ve been sitting around waiting.

Hello sweetie! That looks so natural on you! The color is amazing as well. Thank you for explaining how to care for HF wigs. Is there any way you could possibly take a picture of the wig outside? I am loving that color. Or do you have a review of it already?

Holy cow thank you for linking to the hot comb review! I just got it and it works phenomenally! I used it on my Flirt Alert and it was so easy and the results were awesome! Thank you for all that you do Denise! ❤️😍

[@AngieS_91]

Thank you for this video! I’d sworn off Raquel Welch wigs due to this exact problem. They’re very dense but they look SO good & keep their style great😄! This is beyond helpful! More than 1/2 my wigs are HD. I thought that HD meant NOT to use Heat! 🤪

[@heywigsister]

You are so welcome! I have another short one that needs help desperately... I might film that one and show how washing it and then using heat can transform a wig. I might use a different heat tool on that one as well. To be honest, I LOVE these shorter straight heat friendly wigs. When I am in the mood for short I ALWAYS choose those, even over human hair. They are just so easy and look so good!

[@pattycarosi9618]

Denise this is so helpful. I want to love heat friendly. So far noi doing good with them yet! Thank you

[@cherylj7460]

Is this blow brush the same temperatures as the other blow brush you’ve recommended?

[@janemichael9433]

Love this wig!!!! Does it have a lot of permeate? You said it was Rachel Welch.

[@melissaferguson6901]

This is such a cute Bob style Denise! I think it might just be the style Im looking for. I have Ignite and I’m getting used to it. Although I’m not sure about the permatease . It seems like more of a out on the town type or buisness. I dont get out much and I no longer am able to work. I’m thing this wig your wearing is more too f a daily style. Throw on for dr apts etc… if you have any others in a bob style that is also straight that can be worn with a headband , please let me know! Thank you so much!

[@debbarclay2456]

Wow Denise you look fantastic! I haven’t been on You Tube in a while and just came across this video. Straight Up With a Twist is now on my list! Pretty style. Thanks for the tips!

[@heywigsister]

You bet, and THANK YOU!

[@newshoesbigblister]

I got one of those "wide tooth brushes" because I was struggling with my synthetic (not HD) JR Angelique as it is a longer length and after wearing it, it would get so tangled the JR wide tooth comb just wasn't dealing with the tangles and knots. I don't know if it was my technique or what, but with regular use to remove the the knots, the brush stretched the fibres something awful, and by the end of the month it was unwearable- more like a coarse broom than a synthetic wig. I had thought I was being gentle...but it didn't work. Wish I knew if it was just my bad technique or the brush, or a combination of various things. But I did stop using the brush after that. Maybe only works for shorter wigs?🤔

[@DuaaRasho]

Do you have a video explaining how to style synthetic hair with hair dryer? When I bought the wig it was perfectly styled, but after the first wash it became straight

[@cindyterrell6046]

Great video and that is a beautiful color on you

[@Afton32]

Thank you for creating this video. I am a new wig wearer. I haven’t purchased one yet because I’m on the fence of HF fibers vs regular synthetic. My entire purpose for purchasing a wig is to have a long, curled or wavy style because my bio hair does not do that. I don’t really plan on purchasing multiple wigs. Maybe I’ll add another eventually but, I’m really not planning on it right now. These wigs are expensive. Synthetic wigs are even more expensive than HF. I realize they take a lot of care but, are the long and wavy ones that bad I just shouldn’t even consider it at all? I don’t plan to wear this wig daily or even weekly. I’m leaning towards buying a HF long wig because it’s probably going to be my only wig for a long time. Would buying a HF long wig in a straight style that I curl myself be better? I’m struggling with making a $300-$500 purchase when I hear that I might absolutely regret it and waste my money as a brand new wig wearer. Any thoughts? :/

[@LaVero70]

I was told no brushing because bristles damage fibers. Its why we use wide tooth combs, so I even bought a new brush because mine is like yours, your blow brush has bristles. Isn’t this damaging?

[@BamaGirl1212]

I think this has convinced me to stay away from heat friendly wigs. Maybe much later.

[@carolinewalker9148]

Hello Denise. This is such a great site especially living in UK as we just don't have this type of help and advice. I was just wondering how you get the lace to sit so flat at the front. I wear a Raquel Welch heat resistant wig with a wig band but the lace always ends up lifted at the front. Am I doing something wrong?

[@janishuey3639]

I love my heat friendly wigs, although I’ve been procrastinating about taking heat to them. I have a couple of my well-loved short wigs that need heat ASAP. I have all the tools, except a flatiron (don’t you have a favorite that you talked about in one of your videos?) It’s just a matter of getting things set up to do it. Actually, at this point, I’d rather clean a toilet than heat-style my wigs. Ha

[@daynapeterson9033]

Curious question...my Ellen Wille Anima is a bit stiff and not so flowy. Can I just pass some steam over her but not comb her per se? She has a fabulous noodley spiral curl going on (with sea salt spray) but she's not very moveable. Does that make sense?

[@peaceforme08]

This is a great video Denise!!! Thank you! I was finally able to get a wig…Ignite HF wig. So happy with it but the front ends are getting sticky and clumpy. Would that large air dryer you are using work for that or is it going to be too large?

[@donapaulen8700]

No matter what I have tried, I cannot get rid of the clumpy ends, and these wigs are not even 2 months old. Really frustrating.

Hi. Great video. Should you spray with a heat protecting spray before using a hot air brush or straightening irons and if so is there a product you’d recommend? Thank you. ❤

[@heywigsister]

I like to use only water when using a hot air brush, but I would definitely use a heat protectant when using a flat iron or a curling iron. Jon Renau makes a heat treat that works well... it is spendy but it lasts a very very long time. Here is a link: amzn.to/3StRCsM

[@bindib352]

@@heywigsister thank you very much for the advice. I’ll check out the link. ❤️

[@MelesiaatXEra]

Sometimes, you put in a mention of a product in the description, but there's no way to follow the link and no way to copy and paste it either. For example, the beachwaver.

[@Pack.Leader]

I'm a newbie. I thought heat-friendly meant it would tolerate heat, not that it actually needed heat on a regular basis. Can you toss the wig into its hairnet that it came in and put it into the clothes dryer and just let it bounce around for 5 minutes on high heat? Don't laugh but I don't want to mess with blow dryers and all that nonsense. I didn't like doing it with my real hair much either. You look wonderful, btw. Keto?

[@heywigsister]

Hi! I see you found my keto video... I would not try putting it in the dryer... all that bouncing around could cause more fraying and tangles. I thought the same thing you did about heat friendly wigs, but the truth is that they do need regular heat to keep the fibers smooth. Shorter wigs like this one need it much less frequently than longer wigs... it is the friction that really gets to them. Rubbing on clothing is really hard on them.
