Human hair wigs offer many advantages over synthetic hair wigs. Not only do they look very natural, but human hair wigs are also very easy to style. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot style a human hair wig the same way that you would style any type of human hair. There are a number of different things that you should know about how to make a human hair wig curly.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Wire wig brush Styling tools Wig spray, or hair spray Wig shampoo and conditioner
  1. Step 1

    Only use a wire wig brush on the human hair wig. A pick is also acceptable to use. Regular brushes and combs should not be used to brush the wig, under any circumstances. Although this does not sound very important, it is necessary for keeping your human hair wig in the best condition.

  2. Step 2

    Gently brush the human hair wig. If there are any tangles in the wig, do not rip the brush through the hair to get them out. Begin at the bottom of the hair, and gently work them out of the wig as you move up. When you are rough with the wig, the hair will be much more likely to fall out.

  3. Step 3

    Use hot rollers, a curling iron, or a flat iron to curl the hair. When you use hot styling tools to curl the hair, it's important to make sure that you do not have the heat setting up too high. It's also important to make sure that you are very gentle when you use these styling tools. Yanking them through the hair will cause the hair to fall out.

  4. Step 4

    Hold the curls in place with wig spray. Since it is human hair, you can also use hair spray that is designed for human hair. When using either of these sprays on a human hair wig, it's important to never apply too much.

  5. Step 5

    Wash the human hair wig on occasion. It's important to avoid washing it every day. But in order to get rid of any hair products that you use to hold the curls in place on the human hair wig you should wash it about every six to ten days. Wash it with wig shampoo and rinse in cool water. Then, repeat the process with wig conditioner.

Tips & Warnings
  • When using human hair products, opt for high quality ones. Treat your wig much more carefully than you would ever treat your hair. Find out what styling products you are recommended to use on this particular wig.
  • Never, ever try to curl or style a human hair wig that is wet. Try to keep the heat of styling tools on the lowest or second lowest setting.
