Wig Fixes | Fixing Face Flop, Permatease Trick, Curling Non HF Fibers

[@joanndoolos7228]

Great job! I find it helps to watch videos from multiple people to pick up slightly new information. It's not hard to train a face flopper but you just have to take the time to do it well. Sometimes mine stay in the box too long because I don't take the time to make the adjustment. When I finally do, I'm so happy and wonder why I waited so long. You are so encouraging to both seasoned and new wig wearers.Thank you for taking the time to teach!

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure! I agree...I love getting tips from all different people. There is so much to learn. Thank you so much for watching!💕

I had about a year dry spell of buying new hair and went a little coo coo recently buying more than several! 3 toppers and rest wigs. So far, only one was perfect right outta the box. I have 3 more left to come, and now, after watching this video, I am truly excited to get to work and own that hair! Those in the boxes and those yet to come. Thank you, thank you! You truly are a blessing in this journey we have all been called to. It's your purpose, and you answered the call well.

@@FranniesHairwhat temperature did you have this tool set on when you made the non heat friendly wig stop it from flopping in your face? It turned out gorgeous! I just got a non heat friendly wig, left side part. I want to make it not only stop from flopping in my face but also give it the same lift as you made yours! Plus perhaps add some loose curls in her also!

@ The tool I used (Hot Tool by Aderans) went to 240°F. I am about to film a tutorial on using a brand new tool that works on heat friendly and non-heat friendly wigs. It’s called the Airstyler 3-in-1 by Envy. Stay tuned…

[@lisalloyd2958]

@@FranniesHairawesome!! I have seen this tool, but wasn’t sure if it could be used on wigs that aren’t heat friendly! I just bought Joss, which I do love her but….. she needs work, and a lot of it for my personal liking! I purchased her from such an amazing wig sister! She was so kind and generous to put Jamison in my package as a special gift from her to me! I’m just over the moon with her act of kindness!! I’m dying to make Jamison work for me! Both are my first NON heart friendly wigs, and it’d definitely a learning curb trying to make them my own! I’m struggling! I know I’ll get there!

[@sandradle756]

Funny you should do the curling section. I use a curling iron, not anything with bristles as the hair can get tangled in the brush. But it's a fabulous way of turning a bob into a beach wavey bob. It works for shorter bobs too or even lightly layered bobs . Just use a smaller width flat iron! I also learned to reverse direction every other beach wave you make so it looks natural and not clumped together! And, as you demonstrated if you pull the flat iron thru your hair slowly, you'll get more of a curl than a beach wave if that's what you're looking for! I'm so obsessed I've got 3 flat irons in different widths. My fave is 1.5" flat iron that as rounded...yup rounded...edges with temp settings that I'm crazy about too! ❤

[@teenachristy977]

@@FranniesHair Thanks, Frannie. I will.

[@joanie9043]

Great informational. Thank you! Suggestion: When you curl, try combing and curling sideways instead of using the comb and curling tool down. Down is holding it horizontal, which is good for pageboy and flipping under. Sideways is holding your comb and tool vertical, which is good for curling away from the face or towards the face depending on which way you use the tool. You are fantastic, Frannie. Thank you!

[@FranniesHair]

Thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely try holding the tool differently. I will see all the different kinds of curls I can get. I love to learn… And I have a lot to learn when it comes to styling!🤣 thank you so much for watching!😘

What is permatease? Up close on what you showed on the wig, it looks like a rats nest. I can’t say enough on how helpful this video has been for me in just starting on my wig journey. It really allows us to see how you actually achieve making the hair do what you want. Please keep these videos coming as they are a tremendous help. They help not only the physical part of working with the wig but the encouragement to do so that boosts our confidence. Some of us are more isolated on this journey than one thinks. Thank you so much.

[@FranniesHair]

Permatease are fibers that look like when you tease your hair...they are more wirey and scrunched...for lack of better words🤣. They are used to hide wefting and to add shape and volume to a wig.

[@agresticumbra]

Thank you for demonstrating these tools. I recently got the ROP hot tool (at a really good discount,) so beneficial to see it used to curl. I'm interested in the tressallure, but not at its standard retail price, particularly after reading somse reviews that it's easy to accidentally change the temperature while using it. Something about button placement? At this point, I've got all the sizes of the hot tools air brushes, so between them, the ROP hot tool, water, steam, and hair dryer, and a few styling products, I'm set for a while.👍 Anyway, after reading the ingredients of ROP Revive spray, it looks like I've gotta get my hands on some amodimethicone, because after reading about it, it seems that it is less likely to build up, and is a bit kinder to fibers, whether human or synthetic. So, on the search for the ingredient on its own, to add to a cone-free spray, or a premade spray that has amodimethicone as its sole cone, so I can test to see if I have a sensitivity to it.🤞 Thanks again, Frannie!🌻

[@FranniesHair]

I do think it's easy to change the temperature by accident on the Cool Flow Dual Styler. I think I've gotten used to keeping my finger away from the button. I hope you can find that ingredient to try it. Thank you so much for watching!💕

I love that you did this it was very helpful. My challenge is that I don’t always like the “swoop” on my high forehead. I would love to keep the “feather” look without too much flopping. Any tips or tricks appreciated 😊

[@FranniesHair]

I think you can train whichever fibers you want to go the direction you want them. So you don't necessarily have to make a swoop. As I do more of these, I will show other alternatives. The key is to just keep trying until you get the result you want.💕

I like the wig you are wearing which one is that?

[@FranniesHair]

Which wig were you referring to? I had a few different ones on in the video.

[@JilSpangenberg-ys7fz]

So if you are dealing with a non heat friendly fiber, maybe use lower heat setting on dryer? Also... could you just mist it then put it in place (maybe clip) and let dry overnight?

[@FranniesHair]

Just misting won't change the style. Wigs need heat to reshape the fibers. If you have a non-heat friendly wig, you may want to try the new Envy 3-in-1 Airstyler. It has heat settings that are low enough to work on regular synthetic wigs. You can look at it here: frannieshair.com/collections/accessories/products/3-in-1-airstyler

Is it okay to try to train the style into place with the hair dryer after washing while it is still damp? (a non-heat friendly wig)

[@FranniesHair]

I wouldn't brush or style a wet wig. The fibers are more fragile and can break more easily when wet.

[@dianesingleton3311]

Frannie can you use wig wax or wig spray to do the same thing? Which one would you choose?

[@FranniesHair]

The spray I used is to activate the curl. That is different from Wig Wax which is more of a 'hair spray'. For curling, I'd use Revive. Thank you so much for watching!💕
