Heat-Friendly Synthetic Wig | Curated Product Guide
The essential tools to make your Heat-Friendly Synthetic wig easy to style, wash, and maintain — especially if this is your first wig.
At SPARX, our mission is to make your wig life a total breeze. For many of you, this is your first time wearing hair — exciting, but also a little overwhelming! Like anything, the right tools can make all the difference between an easy wig routine and a frustrating one.
Below is our curated list of must-have products to keep your Heat-Friendly Synthetic wig looking and feeling its best. ❤️
Tools for Success
- Petite Rubber Mannequin Head — We call this "home base." It's petite, so it won't stretch out your wig, and the rubber base lets you secure your wig with sewing pins while keeping the natural dome shape of the head.
- Clamp or Tripod
- A clamp is ideal for low-maintenance wig wearers.
- A tripod is ideal for human hair wigs or anyone who likes to style their hair regularly.
- Sewing Pins — Unlike T-pins, sewing pins won't pull the hair when you brush your wig.
- Wet Brush — The flexible design lets you brush through your wig quickly and gently, without pulling on hair or knots that can cause shedding.
- Teasing Brush — Makes it easy to redirect knots and hair, so "setting" your wig is a breeze.
- Flat Iron — BioIonic OnePass — We love this one because the heat settings can be set low. Ideal temperatures for the heat friendly synthetic hair is 280-300 degrees Fahrenheit or 137-148 Celsius. We're also obsessed with the L'Oréal Steampod — just work fast! See the tutorial here.
- Hot Rollers — For best results, use our oven technique. Yes, the oven! See our full guide on how to curl a synthetic wig here.
- Water Bottle — We prefer a continuous spray bottle, since it lightly mists the hair evenly.
- Jon Renau Fiber Love Shampoo
We know this looks like a lot, but the right tools really do make your wig life so much easier!
