#6 How To Straighten A Synthetic Wig (4 Methods) | Jak Cosplay

Hey guys, it's finally time for a new episode of my wit guide, it's been a long time. I know in this video. I will show you my favorite methods how to straighten synthetic wigs. I already did a video called how to curl synthetic wigs, so this could be interesting for you too, I'm using one of my oldest wigs for this demo. I bought this base camp wig at wiha's fashion, calm a couple of years ago. So let's get started and gives this one a complete new look. So before we get started, we need to know if a wig is heat resistant or not. Today'S video is about straightening awake with heat. Most wigs are heat resistant, but some cheap polyester works are not. If you are not sure about your wake, you should ask the wig company or do a heat test first, if you decided to do a heat test, it's always good to use a small section of the wig. A little piece of hair from the disk root area is fine, so, let's check out what happens if you are using too much heat, the fibers will frizz out or they're made completely. My hair straightener is set on 200 degrees Celsius, which is way too hard for synthetic hair. Most weeks can be straightened with the temperature about 120 degree Celsius without damaging the fibers secures a wig with some long needle pins, so it doesn't slide off during the process. Let'S get started with our first method, which is probably the most used one I'm using my hair straightener for it before you get started. You should clip all the hair up out of your way, so it's easy to work with. I start at the back of my wig and work. My way up this process is not much different than straightening your real hair. You should wear heat-resistant gloves during the step. Otherwise, you can burn your skin because the fibers get really hot, always separate a small section and Comp it first before you are straightening it. Therefore, it's good to use a white comb or wig brush to remove any tangles. If you don't own a hair straightener, you can also use your blow-dryer once again, I'm going to start with a small section of hair and Comp it first. If you are planning to use this method, you should know that this is also a great way to create softer and less defined curls for your wig. I already showed this technique in my how to make a wig look more natural tutorial. If you want to remove the cards completely, you should hold the fibers really tight. While you are heating them up, they stay in their straight shape once the wafers are cooled off completely. Let'S continue our straightening process with a third method, I'm using my steamer for this step. My steamer is from Amazon and reaches a temperature about 120 degrees Celsius. This is also a great method to create soft and less defined curls. If you want to straighten the fibers completely, you should use the steamer directly onto the fibers without any distance. The good thing about steamers is that they style your wig fibers, really gently. So this method is really good for cheaper wicks to off to our last method. For today, which is one of my personal favorites, because it's super easy and fast, if you don't own any styling tools, this is the perfect Mouser for you. The wig should be brushed out completely before you start straightening it with hot water. I'M going to heat up some water in my water boiler. First, once my water is all heated up, it's time to remove the curls, I like to dunk the lower parts of my wig first, so I don't need to heat up that much water. Let'S switch our location and move everything into my bathroom now: let's dump the water all over the wig, covering as much as possible. The wig should hang completely straight for the head. I process just let it dry overnight and the next day you can brush the whole wig again now you have a totally new style for your wig, which one do you prefer curly or straight wigs.
