How to Make Wavy Hair Wigs Straight
Wavy hair wigs are a popular choice for those looking to add effortless volume and movement to their hairstyle. However, sometimes you might want a sleeker look, transitioning from waves to a straight style. With UHAIR's 100% human hair wigs, this transformation is not only possible but also quite simple with the right tools and technique. In this blog, I will guide you step-by-step on how to straighten your wavy wig while maintaining its smooth texture.
Prepping the Wig
Before applying any heat, it's essential to prep your wig to avoid damage. Start by spraying a heat protectant over the entire wig. This step is crucial whether you're working with curly, wavy, or even coarse hair textures, such as 4c hair or nappy hair. If you have a wig with cute easy hairstyles, it's better to gently detangle the wig using a wide-tooth comb, ensuring the strands are ready for heat styling.
Sectioning the Hair
Once the wig is fully detangled, begin sectioning it into manageable parts. Working in sections helps ensure that every strand gets straightened evenly, which is especially important for wigs with hairstyles that have thick or dense textures, like brunette hair or coarse hair. For best results, section the hair into at least four parts, but you may need more if the wig is particularly thick.
Heat Styling the Wig
Using a flat iron set to moderate heat (around 300-360°F), slowly straighten each section of the wig. Start from the roots and gently glide the flat iron down to the ends. For wigs made of human hair, like our UHAIR collection, it’s important to avoid excessive heat, especially if your wig is light-colored or dyed, as overexposure can cause damage. If your wig has a hairstyle like layers or bangs, be sure to straighten those areas last to keep the shape intact.
If you're working with thicker, more textured wigs (e.g., 4a hair, 4b hair, or 3c hair), you might need to pass the flat iron over sections more than once for a sleek finish. Wigs with messy hair or styles that have natural volume can also be gently pressed to achieve a polished look.
Finishing Touches
Once you've straightened the entire wig, you can add a finishing spray or serum for shine. Be sure to check if your wig has cowlick hair or specific areas where the hair naturally parts, as these may need a little extra attention. For those looking to maintain their new straight look over time, using a little Got2b freeze spray can help hold everything in place.
After straightening, you’ll have a beautiful, sleek look. If you’re wondering how to style your newly straightened wig, consider trying some cute hairstyles for short hair or even a butterfly haircut to add some flair to your new look.
Wrapping Up
Straightening a wavy wig is a simple process with the right tools and techniques. Just be mindful of the heat setting, prep the hair with a protectant, and style in sections for the best results. Whether you're transforming a long haircut or a wig with fluffy hair, you'll find that straightening adds a whole new dimension to your style. And remember, UHAIR wigs are made with 100% human hair, so you can experiment with all kinds of looks—be it waves, curls, or straight!
By following these tips, you’ll be able to achieve a sleek and smooth hairstyle every time. Enjoy the transformation!
