You can certainly style a straight wig if it is made from human hair fibers. Synthetic wigs usually do not permit heat styling unless they are made from fibers that are heat resistant! For example, VersaFiber® wigs by Paula Young® are heat-stylable up to 350°F. Straight wigs can be styled in various ways to achieve several looks, whether you like a sleek, polished look or a more textured, layered look.
Depending on the intended look, you can use styling equipment such as a flat iron, a curling iron, or hot rollers to style heat-resistant straight hair wigs.
Nevertheless, before using heat, verify the manufacturer's instructions to guarantee the wig is heat-resistant.
You may also style a straight wig with styling tools like hairspray, mousse, or hair wax to add volume or hold. When applying styling products, keep the amount to a minimum because too much product can cause the wig to become hard and greasy-looking. Alternatively, choose pre-styled straight hair wigs that come sleek, layered, or voluminous to get the look you want!
To make your straight wigs look fuller:
To brush a straight wig, use a wig brush or a wide-tooth comb and start at the ends, gently working your way up toward the roots. Avoid pulling or tugging too hard on the fibers to prevent damage, and use short, gentle strokes.
Be it long or short hairstyles, straight hair wigs require regular brushing to keep them tangle-free!
To sleep with a straight wig, you should first gently brush out any tangles or knots, then braid or wrap the wig in a silk or satin scarf or cap. This will help protect the wig from tangling or frizzing while you sleep.
That being said, it's best to avoid sleeping with your wig on because tossing and turning at night can damage the wig's fiber & significantly decrease the lifespan of your straight hair wigs.
