What is a Heat Resistant Curly Wig and How Can I Protect My Hair From Heat Damage?
A heat resistant curly wig really is all that you need to pull of a stunning, yet simple look. Even with just the slightest knowledge of your natural hair, you could easily have your curls turned into something spectacular with a heat resistant model of hair. Unfortunately, heat treatments are notorious for making curly hair even drier than usual, leaving people with less than perfect hair results. But with a little bit of natural preparation and a few helpful tips, you will be able to create gorgeous looks without worrying about how frizzy your locks might become.
To create a heat resistant curly wig, the first step is to choose a suitable heat resistant model of hair. This means that you may either choose a natural model, or one that has been treated with heat resistant chemicals. If you choose natural wigs, you should avoid ones that have been treated chemically since they are not as likely to have been prepared correctly. Natural wigs that have been treated chemically will lose their shape and colour faster after treatment, and will generally produce less vibrant hair results as well.
The next step to creating a heat resistant curly wig is to get it cut to the right length. You will need a heat resistant curly wig trim to make sure that the natural curl stays intact, and that there are no tangles in the hair. The heat resistant curly wig trim will help your natural hair shaft stay straight without being damaged and will help your locks to stay beautiful and shiny. If you don't have a heat resistant curly wig trim to use, you may need to purchase one separately.
The type of heat treatment you apply to your natural hair is very important, too. The cheapest heat treatments simply involve blow-drying your locks. Heat can be used for short or long hair, but you will generally see the best results with long hair that has been lightly sanded, curled, and then lightly straightened. Even if your hair is naturally straight, you should still straighten it up by going to a hairstylist and getting a low tension spray tan. A spray tan will help seal in some of the moisture in your curly locks, so that they don't end up becoming brittle over time.
One of the most common causes of dizziness in these types of wigs is humidity. Any time that there is high humidity in a room, you are going to find that your natural hair is going to become dry and damaged. To combat this, get an air purifier to install in the room where you are getting your heat resistant curly wig. An air purifier will pull the moisture out of the air, keeping the humidity level in the room at an acceptable level. You can also get humidifiers that you plug into the wall as well, but these can often be costly and not as portable. For those on a budget, a portable humidifier that you simply attach to the ceiling or a book shelf may be the best option for you.
If you have curly, frizzy hair, the first thing that you should do before putting it in a heat protectant is to let it air dry. The best way to do this is to run a lukewarm bath, or a hot towel in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This will allow your hair to open up and become more elastic while drying it. You will want to use the drying agents that you buy for treating your natural hair, because many styling products can leave your curls feeling brittle and damaged.
