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.

It’s important to read the styling guidelines for your specific wig model, because these do vary. Finally, remember to wash and maintain your heat friendly wig to ensure its longevity and brilliant looks – read our Caring for your Heat Friendly Synthetic Wig post. Happy styling!

We had such a lovely visit with Paula today. My mum was feeling very nervous coming into this appointment, but Paula made it light hearted and fun. Mum left with a huge smile on her face - and a beautiful wig! Thank you so much!

Paula was very helpful and patient, supporting me to try several options and to try on my favourites several times. It is a new experience for me to wear a wig, and she was very helpful. Wig creations have a great selection to choose from.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience with Wigs by Haircreations. From the very beginning, Cece was incredibly helpful, keeping me updated throughout the Ministry of Health funding process and always responding to my questions promptly. My consultation with Dani was the highlight. She made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, explained the different options without any pressure, and her knowledge and professionalism were obvious throughout. I left feeling genuinely listened to and confident that we'd found the right solution. What impressed me even more was the level of care throughout the process. There was an unavoidable delay due to a personal family emergency, but Cece kept me informed, communicated openly, and I never felt forgotten. Despite everything they had going on, they still made me feel like a priority, which says a lot about how much they care about their clients. For something that can be quite a personal and emotional experience, Dani approached everything with kindness, empathy and warmth. I walked away thinking, "That was one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long time." I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wigs by Haircreations to anyone looking for expert advice and genuinely caring service. Thank you, Dani and Cece, for making what could have been a stressful experience feel supportive, professional and genuinely personal.

I had a lovely appointment with Paula who took time to listen to what I wanted and showed me the best wigs for the look I wanted. Paula found me two beautiful looks and helped me with the care products. I felt heard and would definitely recommend anyone losing their hair after a wig that suits them to work with Paula. Thank you so much for the advice, products you showed me and the time you took to help me find my beautiful wigs.
