Thank you so much for this video! I used to use a steamer to brush out the frizz and matting, and to restore waves I would set the hair in mesh rollers, apply steam, then allow it to dry completely (that’s critical and it takes FOREVER) I did something just a little different, but similar to your method: I set the hair in large, plastic rollers. I put the wig on the wig head and stand in the bathtub and wet the head completely with hot water on full blast for about a minute or so with the shower head, then repeated with cold water on full blast. (I covered the wig head with a plastic grocery bag first so the fabric wouldn’t get wet) I then removed the rollers and very gently blotted the wig dry with a towel, then allowed it to air dry on a wig hanger. I loved it, it’s so much easier, less time consuming and there’s no risk of accidentally burning my hand with the steamer. Thanks again!
Just AMAZING, the wig looks brand new, and I never knew about those rollers before! I LOOOVE the sleek smooth curls. Both styles look GREAT, but I prefer the waves on you as the curls really frame your face so nicely.
Awesome!! Update me and let me know how it turns out! I think I'm going to try this one again with waves or braids and just keep straightening and restyling her :) Be sure to straighten your wig first like in this video so that you don't have dueling styles 😂th-cam.com/video/ClKrrWSPNIs/w-d-xo.html
WOW! WOW! Amazing! I love both restorations but this curling one is incredible! I never would have thought of putting a wig in the Insta Pot! Great tutorial! xoxo Marlene
I love your videos! I’m new to wigs. I lost over 60% of my hair after having Covid... I’m on a Facebook group with others who have lost their hair after Covid. I’m on wig number 5 and finally found the perfect color and length ... now I just have to figure out how to make it look like more than just a big hair hat. You videos have given me hope that I can wear a wig 💕😊
You are sooo sweet, and I am so sorry to hear about your hair loss. I know you can do it - I think it's all about styling them and making them your own - you got this!!!
I have been restyling my wigs with steam for years. I would form the curl with the barrel of a curling iron (unplugged, of course) and then hit it with steam. This looks so much easier, and with consistent results! I need to order some curl formers!
Thank You!! After the first video I was going to leave it straight and now I'm not so sure!! What do you think? Straighten it again? th-cam.com/video/ClKrrWSPNIs/w-d-xo.html
I can't wait to try this!!! What a great idea! I was wondering how you could evenly steam a wig with curl formers and this solves it. Thanks for the demo! ☺
You are so welcome! I hope yours turns out as well as mine did! You can steam it into pretty much any shape, waves, curls, so you can definitely have fun with it!
You did an amazing job! I'm so glad I saw your previous video as well. I prefer the straight styles for boy what you did to this way she is just amazing! You should have been a hairdresser! LOL
I've enjoy watching all your videos but this is one of the best. What a great way to revive a synthetic wig! I changed the style of one of my JR wigs by using hot rollers and was so happy with the results. Thanks for the info :)
Thank you so much!! This was a fun one to do. Anytime I can bring a wig back from the grave is a GOOD Day! I love that you were able to restyle one of your wigs with hot rollers! Even foam rollers + Steam can do wonders! Great tips!
Yeah it's really helped me extend the life of synthetics when the style starts to look a little Meh. I'll straighten and then restyle them myself and it's like a brand new wig! Let me know how it turns out!
Ok, once again WOW!! I've been adding curls to my wigs for years and never get those results. I just got Miranda by Jon Reneau and I want her to look like yours. I think you should let me send you my Miranda and you can do this for me🤣I'm seriously, I would even pay you. You're absolutely AMAZING❤
The thing is I am 0% hair stylist lol! I can’t even round brush and blow dry 🤣🤣. That’s why I need the curlformers... they do the heavy lifting and I take all the credit 🤣
You would be surprised- I am not a hair stylist by any means, and, this started as a ruined wig so I don’t have a great track record lol! If you take your time you can totally do this!
Think of synthetic wig fibers the same way you do any plastic, nylon, rayon etc. The heat reform the shape of the plastic fabric. Just like a vinyl record left in a hot car. The heat breaks down the structure. The mold you have the wig fibers in, curlers in this case, cool and then re-harden once removed into the curly shape. It's basic elementary science.
I use the CurlFormers Barrel Curlers for pretty much everything because I love the curl width of that curl pattern. I have a Parker too and she was next on my list to recurl!! You would still start halfway down the strand (leave some straight at the top) and pull the hair through, but since Parker is so short you just won't have a curler that is full all the way to the end.
Thanks!! Even a non heat friendly synthetic wig can be as versatile as human hair if you do it right! Let me know which style you like better, straight or curly!
Yikes - I would imagine the heat was too hot, it was perhaps to close to a heat source, or not a steamy.wet enough heat? I am very sorry that happened to you

I don't have an instant pot, but I could put my steamer rack in the pot of boiling water! Thanks for the ideas!
Just AMAZING, the wig looks brand new, and I never knew about those rollers before! I LOOOVE the sleek smooth curls. Both styles look GREAT, but I prefer the waves on you as the curls really frame your face so nicely.
Let me know how you like the curlformers!! They are my go-to, I really love them!
Now that’s an Instant Pot idea I’ve never seen! I have a guinea pig wig I’ve got to try this on! Thanks!
Awesome!! Update me and let me know how it turns out! I think I'm going to try this one again with waves or braids and just keep straightening and restyling her :) Be sure to straighten your wig first like in this video so that you don't have dueling styles 😂th-cam.com/video/ClKrrWSPNIs/w-d-xo.html

You are so sweet!!! It really did turn out great and was actually very simple!
Great idea! I was kind of unhappy with my Gabor Sweet Talk, this is so cool! I am going to get some curl formers ! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Let me know how it goes!
This blew me away! I have 2 wigs that I all but destroyed. Now I can save them. You are amazing, thank you so much! 👍❤️💯
I’ve always wondered if just braids would have an effect!

Yes!! The Curlformers are AMAZING!! I also use them for heat free styling on my human hair wigs! So easy and perfect curls every time!
Wow! An instant pot? It looks amazing!
Thanks!!!
Which restoration is better? Curly or Straight!?!? See how I straightened this wig in Part 1 HERE: th-cam.com/video/ClKrrWSPNIs/w-d-xo.html
The curl was so lovely!!! I'm amazed with the result!
Thank You!! After the first video I was going to leave it straight and now I'm not so sure!! What do you think?
Straighten it again? th-cam.com/video/ClKrrWSPNIs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for explaining this! I didn't know so much went into curling synthetic wigs
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going to give this a try today. Thanks for sharing!

I will try that with braids and a steamer!!! 😊
Love the tips thanks for giving me another option to straighten and curling my wigs 💕

I'm going to be trying this on a topper. My natural curls look like the barrel size curlformers and I think it'll make for a perfect match 😄🤞
Good luck!!! If you post it on Instagram tag me @thewiggywoman! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Wow what a great tutorial, thanks for sharing ❣️❤️❣️
Thank you I’m so glad you found it helpful!!
Hi from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia!
Amazing! Did not know that wig can be curled !
Yes! It's a great way to save some money by repurposing a wig that looks crazy into a fresh new look!
Both are amazing. I feel like I would have ruined her for sure! Great results
You would be surprised- I am not a hair stylist by any means, and, this started as a ruined wig so I don’t have a great track record lol!
If you take your time you can totally do this!
Wow!! This is absolutely amazing!! I had no idea this was possible! Can't wait to try this out! :)
Good Luck!! Let me know how it turns out!
Great video! Are the curls actually dropped into boiling water?
Wow! That was amazing!
Thank You! The Instant Pot and the CurlFormers did all the hard work 😂
Think of synthetic wig fibers the same way you do any plastic, nylon, rayon etc. The heat reform the shape of the plastic fabric. Just like a vinyl record left in a hot car. The heat breaks down the structure. The mold you have the wig fibers in, curlers in this case, cool and then re-harden once removed into the curly shape. It's basic elementary science.
What size do you use for a medium length wig like Parker?
I use the CurlFormers Barrel Curlers for pretty much everything because I love the curl width of that curl pattern. I have a Parker too and she was next on my list to recurl!! You would still start halfway down the strand (leave some straight at the top) and pull the hair through, but since Parker is so short you just won't have a curler that is full all the way to the end.
Genius!!
You are so sweet!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! You make it look so easy. Love the finished look 💕
That is why I love the Curlformers!! They really are so easy to get a consistent curl!!
Ooops, Got it!!
Your wig looks great! I really thought it was your actual hair! Now I have to go back and watch your video straightening the wig!❤️
Thanks!! Even a non heat friendly synthetic wig can be as versatile as human hair if you do it right! Let me know which style you like better, straight or curly!
Was this a non heat wig? how would you curl a non heat friendly wig
Do you just let it air dry?
My 2 synthetic Ellen wille wigs absolutely destroyed by doing this. Why??
Yikes - I would imagine the heat was too hot, it was perhaps to close to a heat source, or not a steamy.wet enough heat? I am very sorry that happened to you
