How to Fix Your Wig | Chiquel Wigs

[@kellyjenkins7942]

Instead of a stand for my wig head I bought a base that clamps to a table. Then I used a “hospital table” as my base, the kind of table that snugs up to a bed, is on wheels and goes up and down. What a lifesaver! I can wheel it into my bathroom to be near a water source and electricity. When styling or trimming, etc. I can raise the table up high to the height I want. I can lower it if I want to sit….you get the idea. So versatile. Plus there is space for a set of curlers, my tools, etc. can’t recommend this enough. Thanks for your lovely channel. God bless.

I have super fine hair that has been thinning since I had my first baby. I’ve wanted to try wigs because it’s really starting to be noticeable, but I ve always been nervous because it didn’t look natural. Thank you for teaching me tricks to be more confident and try again!!

Thanks for sharing this. I am going to buy a steamer so I dont have to throw it all my wigs. Cant wait to try it.

[@chiquelwigs]

Oh great!

[@runtothe_shadows]

Ive neen using steam for quite a while, its a great way to sort your pieces out. Amanda, do you mist your wigs with water(just a light misting), before you steam?

[@chiquelwigs]

Hey! I usually don’t! ❤ just the steam 🥰

[@sherridbt2839]

Hello Amanda, New to the prospect of having to wear a wig. Trying to get as much info as possible. You look so lovely in all the wigs. I wear glasses and haven't seen anyone wear glasses in reviews. Thanks for the videos.

[@chiquelwigs]

Yep! You can wear glasses with wigs!

[@spray3716]

Mel's B Ageless does wig reviews with glasses.

[@Karen-t2i4x]

Hi Amanda! I love your channel. This tutorial is such a help. I just received a new wig today and out of the box it had a few corkscrew fibers mid-way down the length. Is this commonplace? This is the third wig from 3 different manufacturers that have had this problem. Could I use steam to make the repair? What would you do? Karen

[@chiquelwigs]

Hi Karen, since I don’t know which wigs they are, I can’t say if it’s common or not. Sure you can use steam to straighten them or if it’s a heat friendly synthetic, you can use a flat iron. 😊

[@soomilner902]

Brilliant thank you!

[@chiquelwigs]

You bet!

[@rosyelizondo4661]

Thank you

[@brendaleejohnson9593]

Hi. Sorry if I missed this somewhere, but where can we get the exact comb that you used in this video? Also, I’ve heard of people using a silicone treatment to soften as well. Approve or disapprove? Thank you!

[@jenacoker9472]

I have been wearing wigs and hair toppers now for about two years and this is the 1st video I have seen about steaming a wig. It was so informative and so well done! Please keep doing more videos like this. For example, I have a longer wavy/curly straight up synthetic wig that I love to wear in a french twist but it looks a little wiggy in the back and I love to pull some of the wig hairs down the sides but it's too long...how do I fix this? That would be a good video lol. Thanks for all your hard work in putting out quality videos! They really are fantastic!

[@chiquelwigs]

So glad you found it helpful! Could you trim the hairs you want to pull out on the sides?

[@jenacoker9472]

What would I use to do that? Like a razor that you use for your eyebrows?

[@chiquelwigs]

@@jenacoker9472 or scissors

[@jenacoker9472]

@@chiquelwigs can you use curlformers with steam?

[@chiquelwigs]

@@jenacoker9472 do you mean curl the hair and apply steam over the heat less curl formers? If so, yes!

[@girlzie945]

I was also wondering a couple things: 1. Could you get all or most of the curlers in and do that wig all at once? Could you do that curler method with a human hair wig also?

[@chiquelwigs]

Yes you can!

[@bethwilliams6763]

Great info thank you. I wouldn't mind a bit of your -34c, we have 36c here in Aust.

[@jbuggy1957]

Hi, would steam help calm the density. Sometimes it’s too much hair. Love your videos.

[@chiquelwigs]

You could use steam and a comb to try to calm it or pin it down with a clip and run steam over it.

[@janetingacollins6409]

Thank you for the wig education

[@chiquelwigs]

You are so welcome!

[@LindaSiggs]

Hi Amanda, what steamer did you use please, xx

[@chiquelwigs]

@@LindaSiggs mine is just from Amazon! The brand is Housmile. Nothing fancy. Just your average clothing steamer. ❤️🥰

[@annlalonde6809]

What do you do if you don't have a part? I haven't had a part in 30 years, i wear my own hair straight back.

[@coryhardman627]

Can you use a round brush on synthetic wigs with the steam to keep a bit of a curled under style instead of the fine tooth comb? Or even use the comb and then go back with the round brush and steam?

[@MissKrisLoves]

Yes go through with the fine tooth comb first to remove the frizzy. Then use the round brush to curve the hair. But then you'll need to prop it on something to keep the curve until the hair sets into place after curling and drying. I hope that helps.

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Very helpful, thank you Amanda. I recently used my steamer on my inexpensive topper which I hated because it curled under too much, making it like a helmet, so I never wore it. The steamer improved it so much that I love it now! Just wondered, can I use the steamer on my brand new EW human hair topper or should I just use dry heat? Also, can I get my hairdresser to put highlights in my human hair topper or could it ruin it?

[@chiquelwigs]

You should be able to get your hairdresser to put highlights in! :) And you could use a steamer on your human hair I suppose, but I would just recommend using dry heat. :) I would suggest using a heat protectant spray for human hair before using heat on your human hair. So glad to hear that you love your synthetic topper now!! :)

[@cheekyllamacreations]

@@chiquelwigs Thank you for replying, Amanda. I really appreciate it 🥰

[@SherriVick]

I would definitely het a wig stand (tripod) if I were you! I tried the clamp on counter style, but couldn't get it to work on my shallow countertops. Got an inexpensive (under $50) tripod, and wow! SO much easier when working on your wigs!😊

[@chiquelwigs]

Thanks!

[@kakilong]

Thank you for this. I had no idea how to care for synthetic wigs.
