Why Can’t My Synthetic Wig Withstand Heat?

When a synthetic wig comes into contact with excessive heat, the heat will alter the hairstyle of your wig. In the worst-case scenario, it can melt – but before it gets that far, let’s talk about what "synthetic fiber" actually is and why it is, in fact, very practical. When it comes to synthetic wigs, there are often misconceptions about appearance and quality. Fortunately, today it is often difficult to see the difference between a human hair wig and a synthetic wig – quite simply because the quality of synthetic wigs is very high.

Why Is Synthetic Hair Practical?

When you choose a synthetic wig, there are several benefits for those who prefer a short hairstyle. A synthetic wig is much easier to manage, as the hairstyle does not change – meaning you do not have to spend time styling your hair every morning. If you previously had naturally curly hair, synthetic fiber may also be the right choice for you, as the curls will not fall out. When you receive your synthetic wig, we customize it to fit you perfectly. We always ask what changes you would like, so we can achieve a result you are completely satisfied with.
Of course, it is possible to add more volume, curls, adjust the parting, and more. Using a special steam device, we can reshape your wig so it suits you exactly.

A synthetic wig is:

Easy and manageable
Especially ideal if you find it difficult to style and manage hair
Lightweight in both appearance and feel
Can be styled and put up like natural hair
Keeps its hairstyle

It is important that you care for and wash your synthetic wig correctly. This ensures the longest possible lifespan. You can read the care guide for synthetic wigs by clicking here.

Why Can’t It Tolerate Heat?

When you choose a synthetic wig, you must be extra careful not to expose the hair to direct heat or steam. If you use a curling iron or flat iron, the fibers will melt, as standard synthetic fibers are not heat-resistant. When you boil water, open the oven, or encounter steam in other situations, you should also take extra care. As mentioned earlier, steam can alter the hairstyle of your wig. Therefore, exposing the wig to steam can reshape your hairstyle.

If an accident happens and your wig changes shape – we do not recommend attempting to fix the problem yourself. Contact us and be honest about what happened, and we will help you as best we can.
