How to Style your High Heat Synthetic Wig
High heat hair is an especially high-quality synthetic hair. It is made of modern, heat resistant synthetic fiber. High-heat fibre synthetic wigs are indistinguishable from natural hair and are available in a wide range of gorgeous colors. Just like classic synthetic wigs, heat friendly models are “ready to wear”, which means that the styling fits perfectly and retains its features even after washing. Heat resistant wigs can however be thermally reshaped, i.e. permanently restyled with a hairdryer, a straightening iron or a crimping iron according to your own preferences.
