Heat Friendly Wigs

The wearing of wigs has a long history starting in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Their meaning and purpose evolved influenced by the culture of a particular period. Today, people of all walks of life in all social classes wear human hair wigs. Wigs may be worn for fashion, for experimentation, for fun, for convenience, and for medical reasons that have caused hair loss. Wig manufacturers offer a wide assortment of wig styles, lengths, colors, cap constructions made from both synthetic fibers and human hair. Fortunately for the consumer wig technology is constantly evolving. Wig hair fibers and cap construction are frequently changing and improving to provide a more natural look.

 

Women don't just want their wigs to look real; they want their experience of wearing a wig to feel real also. Originally, synthetic wigs were all pre-style. The wig look could not be modified. If you desire another style, a different wig would have to be purchased. It was impossible to curl hair or straighten with a curling iron the fibers on synthetic wigs. The heat from any source would damage the wig's fibers. This was especially evident in synthetic wigs where even getting to close to the grill or oven could result in major damage to the wig.

 

Today, wig buyers now have the option of purchasing heat friendly wigs from several wig manufactures. These "heat friendly wigs" are not to be confused with "heat resistant wigs." Heat friendly wigs eliminate the possibility of damage caused by close proximity to a hot area such as an open oven or campfire. In addition, heat-friendly wigs allow for exciting styling options. These wigs usually arrive from the manufacturer as straight-hair styles. The straight synthetic fibers can then be curled with a curling iron without any damage to the wig! That is not to say these are completely 100% heat resistant wigs. Just like natural hair is not 100% heat resistant, neither are heat friendly wigs. When using a thermal styling device such as rollers or curling iron, the recommended heat setting should be at medium. The thermal styling device should then be allowed to cool down while holding the hair in the desired position. The style that is achieved will be locked in that position until it is styled differently. For example: if curls are made, the wig maintains that curly look until the fibers are straightened again or some other change is made with a heating device. The wig manufacturers recommendation is to strongly discourage you're going above medium heat on any thermal styling device.

 

This fabulous heat resistant feature allows for more styling options, allowing a heat resistant wig to be a lot more versatile. In regular synthetic wigs, if the wig style is curly hair, it would be impossible to straighten the curls without damaging the entire wig. Heat friendly wigs are a great advance in wig design.
