How To Curl Synthetic Lace Front Wigs
Despite how much you love the human hair, you’ve got to admit that you can’t afford it now, maybe. But then you’ve got your old and ratty synthetic wigs. And you probably don’t know how to restyle them to fit. We’re got this article to help you curl them and save yourself from embarrassment and money crisis.
What Are Synthetic Wigs?
You’re almost certainly asking – what are synthetic wigs? Unlike the human hair which is gotten from actual human hair that is garnered and sanitized, the synthetic wig is made from fiber which goes through modern technology. The last ten years have brought tremendous improvement to the sales and use of synthetic wigs. Why? Because they sometimes look like human hair in their different colors, brands, and types. You can barely ever find it easy differentiating it from the human hair. Again, it has waves that stick and curls that are permanent and unaffected by the weather. The best plus of all is that it is easy to afford.
Why Curl Your Synthetic Wigs?
Synthetic wigs usually don’t last for more than four to six months. They are unlike the human hair wigs that you can use for more than a year. Since the synthetic wigs are not as versatile as human hair wigs, you get stuck with the same curls, the same style.
But guess what? There’s an exception. You can straighten or curl synthetic wigs which are heat friendly. They are hairpieces that can withstand heat from styling tools. Most synthetic wigs lose their fiber when you expose them to heating tools.

Curling Process
1. Wear the wig on your head or the manikin head.

Useful Tips
Tada! I proudly present to you your curled synthetic lace front wig! Take note of these important tips though.
If you want firm curls, allow the hair to get dry before you comb it.
If you want loose curls, use your finger to separate the hair while it’s still warm.
Always try this out with an old wig first.
Other heating tools include heat rollers, flax iron, curling iron or even a steam setter. For the best results though, I’ll advise hot water and the Flexi iron.
To wrap it up, when you’ve restyled your wigs, start rocking your brand new looks. Above all, save yourself and your girlfriends, of course, some cash.
