Curling synthetic hair with a curling iron<\/h3>\n

So, let\u2019s see how to curl synthetic weaves with a curling iron. This is a tricky and risky method because most synthetic hair wigs and weaves are not heat-resistant enough to survive a hot curling iron. The first thing you\u2019d want to do is check whether the wig or extension is suitable for heating \u2013 read the product\u2019s label thoroughly and carefully, it should be mentioned on it whether it\u2019s heat-resistant or not. If you\u2019ve lost the label or you\u2019re just uncertain it\u2019s also smart to first try the curling iron on a small strand of the synthetic hair before you start with the whole wig \u2013 make sure it\u2019s a strand that\u2019s not visible when you wear the wig. If it doesn\u2019t melt or get damaged then the wig is heat-resistant.<\/p>\n
