Not all hair products are created equal. When styling synthetic wigs, it is important to use products that are specifically designed for synthetic hair. These products will help to prevent damage and keep your wig looking its best.
Step 2: Wash Your Wig
Before you style your wig, it is important to wash it. This will remove any dirt or oil that may have accumulated on the wig. To wash your wig, simply use a mild shampoo and conditioner. Rinse the wig thoroughly and allow it to air dry.

Once your wig is clean, you can style it as desired. You can use a blow dryer, curling iron, or flat iron to style your wig. However, it is important to use low heat settings to avoid damaging the wig.
