2、Start one inch from the roots

3、Add hairspray

3、How to add waves to your wigs?

You can embrace your inner mermaid with some beautiful, beachy waves. This style is perfect for summer weather or for adding a bit of romance to your look.

1、Divide your hair into two sections

First, you need to divide your wig into two sections, one on each side of the wig. Waves are looser and more casual than curls, so you don't need to divide them into as many sections. However, if your wig has a lot of hair, you can divide it into four sections.

2、Start with the bottom layer

Use a curling iron to curl the ends of your hair, only halfway up the ends. This will create soft, romantic waves that start at the roots and gradually loosen up. The closer you get to the roots, the tighter the waves will be. Don't hold each curl for more than five seconds before releasing it. Any longer and your hair will be curls instead of waves.

3、Two-way curling

You need to curl your hair in two directions to create a beachy, relaxed, natural wave look. Start by curling each section away from your face, then switch directions and hold for a few seconds before releasing it. This will create a messy, windswept look that's popular in the summer.

4、Finger combing your hair

After curling your hair, run your fingers through your hair to further loosen the curls. This will help loosen up the curls and make them look more natural.

5、Finish with hairspray

As always, finish with a light coat of wig-specific hairspray to help hold the style in place. You can also use a little sea salt spray to give your waves more texture and hold.

4、How to curl your wigs?

If you're looking for something a little more fun and flirty, why not try curling your wig? Curls are a great way to add volume and texture to your hair, and they can make even the simplest styles look glamorous.

1、Divide your hair into sections

Just like straightening your wig, you'll need to divide your hair into sections first. To make it easier to curl the layers underneath, clip each section to the top of your head. This will help keep your hair out of your way while you work.
How many sections you make will depend on how big or small you want your curls to be. To get tighter, more even curls, start with small sections. If you want looser, more beachy waves, you can make larger sections.

2、Keep it cool

When curling your wig, always keep the temperature of your curling iron on a low setting to avoid damaging the hair fiber. Don't go over 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and try to keep it around 250 degrees Fahrenheit if you can.

3、Wrap each section around the barrel

Once you've prepared your strands, it's time to start curling! Wrap each strand of hair tightly around the barrel of your curling iron. Make sure to secure the ends of your hair in place so they don't get caught in the clip.
Depending on how tight or loose you want your curls, you'll need to leave them in for different amounts of time. If you want tighter curls, leave them in for 10-15 seconds. If you want a looser curl, hold it in place for 5-7 seconds.
After curling a lock of hair, hold it in your hands and let the curls cool for a few minutes before styling. This will help the curls set and stay put better.

4、Finish with hairspray

To keep your curls looking their best, finish with a coat of wig-friendly hairspray. You can also use a curl-defining product to help your curls last longer and be more defined—just make sure to wash your wig regularly to avoid buildup.

5、Best tips for style a human hair wigs

Using the right wig care products can prevent tangling, frizzing and drying of the wig. Lace front hair requires extra care and daily hair care to maintain. Keep the wig healthy and make it last longer.

1、Use a Mannequin Head

The best way to style your wig is to wear it on a wig mannequin head. This way, you can see the wig from all angles as you comb, straighten, or curl it. It also helps the wig retain its style after you remove it.
While you can also use a wig stand, mannequin heads have the added holding bobby pins and styling tools, which is very useful when doing updos or other intricate styles. They also help you avoid knots and tangles in your hair.

2、Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

Wide-tooth combs are your new best friend when learning how to style a lace front wig, as they help you avoid tangles and won't pull or damage your wig's fibers. Start at the base of the wig and work your way up, being careful not to pull on the hair. Be extra careful and gentle when combing out tangles.

3、Make Sure Your Wig Is Washed

Before styling your wig, always make sure it's clean. Washing your wig helps remove any dirt, oil, or styling products that may have built up on the hair fibers. This will give you a clean wig and help your styling products adhere better to your hair.

4、Blow Dry Your Wig Properly

After washing your wig, you need to make sure it is completely dry before styling it. Wet hair is more susceptible to damage and styles won't hold as well as dry hair. Allowing your wig to air dry naturally is ideal, but if you're pressed for time, you can also use a blow dryer. But be sure to use a low, cool setting. Exposing your wig to too much heat can damage the hair fiber.

5、Use a Heat Protectant

Before styling your wig with heat, always apply a heat protectant to your strands. This will help protect your wig from damage and keep it looking healthy. Make sure to only use products designed for wigs, not just natural hair.

6、Don't Use Heat Treatments Too Often

While curling and twirling your ends is fun, too much heat styling can dry out your wig strands and cause split ends. When using heat to style your wig, try to limit it to no more than once a week. If you have to style your wig more often, make sure to use a good heat protection product and keep the temperature as low as possible.

2、Top Knot

A topknot is a classic hairstyle that looks good on everyone. It’s perfect when you don’t have time to deal with a wig or don’t want your hair covering your face.
First, pull all your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a rubber band. Then, twist your hair into a rope and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, tucking the ends into the ponytail. Secure the bun with a hairpin and you are all set!

3、Ponytail

Whether you want to wear your hair in a high or low ponytail, a ponytail is a great choice. It is an easy hairstyle that works well for formal or casual occasions.
 
First, tie all your hair into a high or low ponytail and secure it with a rubber band. If you want to add a little fluff to the roots, use a comb to comb your hair back and then tie it into a ponytail. You can also tie a cute scarf or ribbon to make the look more special.
