Can You Blow Dry A Wig
I still remember the first time I washed my wig, I stupidly picked up the hair dryer and blew it hard. As a result, the curly wig became a "hairy haystack" after blowing it, and the whole curl collapsed. It was heartbreaking.
Later I learned that not all wigs can be blown with a hair dryer, and they can't be blown casually. I use a real human hair headband wig, which can be blow-dried in theory, but the way and temperature of blow-drying are very important. Especially after washing, wigs are very fragile. If you blow them directly with high temperature, it is easy to damage the hair structure.
Later, I learned to be smart. Every time I wash the wig, I will first press it gently with a towel to absorb water, and never wring it dry. Then put it on the wig stand to dry naturally until it is 80% dry, and finally use a hair dryer with cold air to blow dry the roots of the hair from a distance, which will not damage the hair and can maintain the curl. If you really need to use hot air, you must also spray some conditioner or heat protection spray in advance.
Once I was in a hurry to go out, I had no choice but to blow dry a 16-inch short bob wig quickly. I used low temperature + wide mouth blow dryer + hair spray, and the result was that the glueless curly half wig was particularly fluffy and smooth, and the effect was super good.
In general, blow-drying is OK, but the method must be correct. Especially for wigs made of synthetic hair, the heat resistance is worse, so it is best not to use hot air. I now prefer to buy short hair or curly wigs that look good even when dried naturally, which is convenient and not easy to damage.
So sisters, if you also want to blow dry your wig, please be sure to understand the material in advance and take good care of it. Don't learn it after suffering from "fried hair" like me.
