Hi Ladies! I'm a former wig stylist for many years in south florida. I've worked primarily on jon renau wigs which I love by the way. To remove frizz, ALWAYS moisturize with their product for heat friendly wigs or with a leave in conditioner and water in a spray bottle. Use a curling iron at the lowest setting 250 to 300 depending on how bad the frizz is... be quick no more than 5 to 15sec. Use a pin clip or a roller to keep in place while it cools. Using hot rollers will work too, but it doesn't get as smooth and it takes longer. This works for all synthetic fibers. I've had clients who were able to keep their wigs much longer. I miss my clients so much❤I did alterations, color, highlights, cutting, styling and so many other things with wigs and hair pieces. I transformed many lives including my own. I'm grateful for the experience💖 Love your channel by the way😍 I'm sorry this long🤣but when this fiber first came out jon renau didn't have a steamer for it. But I've used wig steamers and I still stand by the way I did it😁
When you use hot rollers do you spritz any water on the fibers? Also, I saw a video once using rollers and then putting heavy plastic over the entire head and spraying add up inside the bag with steam then tying the bag with a string and let it đry. I haven't tried it because I was afraid it might melt the fibers. Have you ever tried this?
Taz you are amazing, as always!!! You and Marlene are my go to gals!!! I am a Retired hairdresser who grew up with falls & wiglets, and even worked in a wig store when I was 18! Here's what I have found: If you are going to steam synthetic hair of any kind, you need to secure it around a smooth roller and clip that roller in place and let it dry completely, otherwise, the hair will rebound, like by your part line in the video. I even take it a step further and use a fabric steamer, with a wide flat head and run that head on top of each section , over the roller--the roller almost acts like your ironing board. Giant rollers let you smooth further down the hair shaft for a smooth look, but then sometimes I will switch it to a smaller one for a tighter curl, right after. Sometimes I use end papers to hold it down, but the steam slightly melts the hair so it holds and a day later is as smooth as silk. By the time your wig needs defuzzing, its already in bad shape, but you can extend its life for another couple of months or more! HD fibers, not as long, but still extends the life. A curling iron on both types, with the hair wet, works really well, too. BUT nothing is as good as a brand new wig!!! I have the new Lange flat iron, which is round and wow can you do some fancy curls & waves with that, but realllllly hard to get the technique down. I am from the roller set era at 72 and the youngins can turn those flat irons on a dime but can't and don't want to do a roller set! Old school and hard for a non-hairdresser, but it works every time! For the money we spend on wigs, both are skill worth learning....or not!!! Basically, steam, wrap, hold securely and dry completely and it'll work! Beachy waves are so hard to duplicate and I think its easier to burn the hair with an iron than steam...........but the science is right on. Back in the day, we would wet set the synthetic wigs, then stand the canvas block in the lowest shelf of the over at 200 degrees, for 30 minutes, turn off the oven and leave it overnight to dry inside. Look of Love taught me that technique...made everlasting curls!!!!! Oh my, this is long winded!!!
@@judycrisenbery2982 Yes I did!!! Great for curly do's. It permanently sets the curl, like all heat methods. Needs to be wet first, creates its own steam. Never tried with huge rollers....they "bake" wigs professionally!!!
I have always been scared to use steam on my regular synthetics. Exactly what you said. Thank you for always keeping us informed so we can get the best life out of our investments.
I use steam all the time. There's nothing better than a new wig, but after about a month of wear I can't stand it any longer and out comes the steamer. You know what I'm talking about....it takes about a half hour for the nape to be a snarled mess, it's clumpy, frizzy and tangly. When a wig gets to that point I usually steam the whole thing straight and then will put a style back into it using a round brush for waves like in JR Miranda or Minka, or the barrel of a curling iron (unplugged) to form a curl like in JR Julianne or Scarlet, hit it with some steam and wait a few seconds til cooled. I've used steam with curlformers and waveformers and that works excellent as long as you pay attention to the root area and don't get any weird kinks in there. Learning this skill has extended the life of my wigs from a month or two to up to a year or more, and I get a lot more wear out of my favorite wigs!
Incredibly helpful. I had bought tabu awhile back and I heat my home via wood stove only... many days I sat in front of that stove wearing my tabu and I just threw it out saying these heat friendly wigs are garbage.... No no... it was my fault and now I got tools to keep my wigs longer. Thanks Taz... love you too.
Hi Taz, very informative. I have quite a few non HF units, but two in particular are over 10 yrs old. Both are discontinued styles and I'm quite attached to them. Both are long so of course develops infamous frizzies at the back nape. I don't have a wig steamer, but I've owned a small travel-sized hand held steamer that has a brush attachment. This attachment is a lifesaver! That steamer has kept me going with these two discontinued styles, which are not heat friendly. One of these units got singed by an oven blast. I thought I'd have to throw it out, but I got out my trusty steamer and fixed the frizzies area; it was just like new again. As you mentioned, the steam will straighten the fibers, so I use velcro rollers and a few bursts of steam to restore any curl or bounce the steamer originally flattened. Steamers do have their place and have saved my two discontinued units. For the most part, I only develop frizzies at the back nape area so I section off all other fibres and only steam the fibers with the friz. This way, the outside of the unit looks as it did from the manufacturer. I have not used hair dryers on any of my units. Well wishes to you, as always~Rae 🌹🥰
@@Elizabeth-zu7ml It works perfectly Elizabeth. The steam heats up the frizzies and as I brush with pressure straight from the base to the tips of the hair, the hair gets restored to it's silky smooth texture. I am so thankful I held on to this steamer as I initially bought it to steam out wrinkles in my clothes. I never worry about frizzies anymore because the brush attachment fixed them instantly. I hope yours works for you too.Also, if you find the brush steaming straightening out any waves or curls, I use velcro rollers and just give the rolled up hair some good bursts of steam. Let the rolled up hair dry completely before you remove the rollers. Long live our hair! 🌹
Loved This Video Sweet Friend!! Wonderful Tips!! You Look Gorgeous!! Really Like the Color of Your Wig, a Very Natural Color, and Style!! Hope Your Day is Going Fantastic!! Thank You So Much for All You Do for Us!! Love, Hugs, and Blessings!!🙏💕🙏
Thanks so very much for this video. The steamer as a styling tool or aid has always been something that I never felt 100% on board with. As for frizzies, that's a different story for me. As far as styling and wig care in general, I'm a minimalist, meaning avoiding styling productsand if I decide to use it, it's in a very specific area with as little as possible. Overall, I'm a spray bottle of water, scrunched, hang upside down, clips, etc. Using the heat of my hands and, if need, be a shot of air from the blow dryer to accomplish what I'm wanting. I'm extremely focused on the care and maintenance of my wigs than anything else, which are tips I learned from YOU, LOL! But they all still have the same soft, silky, healthy hair look and feel, and that makes me a happy girl! Thanks SO SO much for this crucial video!
Excellent information, TAZ!! I love how you're sharing what you learn as you go in your journey with us and not just trying to sell a product! You've become my "go to" for wig information!! Thank you and Bless you!!
I’ve had good luck using my Conair hot air brush on high to defrizz and dry my Jon Renau HD toppers. I used your tip about adding the Simply Stylin’ silicone spray to the ends a few minutes before washing. I then wash with Woolite, rinse and soak for a few minutes in water with fabric softener before rinsing again. I roll the topper in a towel, shake off any excess water, and pin to a wig head. I dry in small sections, pulling the ends fairly tight to the hot brush until dry, about 8-10 seconds before releasing. It makes the topper feel almost like new for several wears! Thanks for your advice and videos. I’m always looking forward to seeing what you’ll be doing and wearing next! 💁🏼♀️ 💕
Thank you talking about not using a steamer. I never dug my steamer out of my craft room and it will be a very long time before I do since Ida did damage to my house. I do have the velvet hot rollers from the 80's or 90's, the hot sticks, and a hair dryer. I have the regular sponge rollers and some vidal sassoon sure grip rollers with clips also. Curling irons in different sizes, a flat iron, that you can change the plates to a crimper, a small flat iron, a 3 barrel waver and a couple of the hot air styling brushes. Thinning shears and hair scissors. I started doing my hair and my mother's as a teenager, mom passed in 2006. I am now going on 61 and wear wigs because of health problems and medications. Never went through cosmetology school, but we always got compliments on our hair and asked what salon we used. As a teenager and in my 20's, I would use hair clippers to cut the neighborhood kids and the pet clippers on my dogs. Over the years, the soft bonnet and the hard bonnet dryers have worn out. I have collected these items over the years. So I do have a lot that can be used. All these have been used on bio hair, but so glad to be able to use on my wigs.
Thanks very much for the video. I just love putting on a pre-styled piece & go! No messing around. Look great. Feel great. I’m done fussing with hair. Maybe put in a clip or headband. Enjoying my time savings every day!! Wigs are so fun!!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I greatly appreciate you. I am a beginner wig wearer and my JR wig steamer is in process for delivery. You are truly a beautiful lady inside and out. You are my favorite TH-cam channel. I find you to be very explicit and thorough. I love ❤️ watching you. God Bless You 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this information. I am no longer on the fence about getting a steamer. Nope! I'll stick with the warmth of my hands, spritz of water, hair clips and wig styling products. Sometimes I think we may have unreasonable expectations that our bio hair would never be able to achieve.
LOVE this! Steamers are great but I think they have a narrow purpose to be most effective. Water, hands, clips.. These methods are practically free, right?! Very true about expectations XOXO
I find that steam doesn't work well at all on a permatease wig, especially at the root area. However it can work great on long styles. It's great to smooth out the nape area, and the ends. It's also good to reset a monotop wig with rollers and steam. Hot rollers are also a great way to restyle a synthetic wig. I have used them on both heat friendly and non heat friendly. The rollers that are lined in felt or a velvet-like fabric are the best. They don't snag the hair and it's more of an indirect heat. You just leave them in until they fully cool like real hair. Great for adding a curl or wave back to a wig
Thank you so much for this video, Taz! I agree and personally rarely if ever take a steamer to my non-HD. For styling, I prefer the hot airbrush and hot tool for my HD. Great video! Thank you!! xoxo
Thanks so much for sharing Mar! As wig wearers, we each find our preferred methods.. but it's so nice to hear the experiences of others! One viewer says she ruined her lace front by using steam on it.. this is one area I would avoid with direct steam.. Thank you again! Hugs! XOXO
I totally agree. I've noticed a funky feeling to my heat friendly wigs when I've used steam - my RW Unfiltered especially. And, dang it, I ruined my Ellen Wille Turn (non heat friendly) when I attempted to loosen the curls! She's stick straight now and only fit to wear with a baseball cap. Lol! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences/observations and preferred methods. As usual, you've presented a most helpful video! Wig life rules! 🙂
We LIVE and LEARN as wig wearers, right?! I was not and still am not an expert.. but I did learn to do a little at a time no matter the type of heat I am using. Hugs! XOXO
Sheri, I had a synth wig I thought I ruined for good by using too high heat & it sat for months. Then I pulled It back out (what the heck, wasn't good for anything anyway, might as well experiment on it or throw it out). I washed it, let it air dry, & then used a curling iron (setting 5 of 25), for 5-10 seconds on the dry hair, pinning curl with a tiny or small claw clip until completely cooled & I was very happy with the result! I have even felt confident enough to wear it out a few times so far & still very happy with it! By the way, I don't use many products bc I can't afford them, but I usually use leave in conditioner or heat protectant oil when curling dry hair. Not much, a small spray on the part I am getting ready to curl (about 1-2" wide) comb to spread it thru, then curl.
Thank you, Taz. Great information!! Btw, i ordered Caliente, Root Beer Float Blonde( i think thats the color) lol, and im very excited to get her. Learning a lot from you Taz, thanks again, have a wonderful day and upcoming week!! 💕
Excellent info! New wig wearer so very valuable to know when and how to shape a style and repair frizz and clumps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
I love my steamer but I only use it to get rid of frizz at the nape and ends. On both my HF and non HF wigs, I usually go for the hot air brush because it just doesn't get hot at all. I will spray down the sections of hair that I want to style with some water and use a straight iron set to like 10. Mine goes to 25 so again, it's warm enough to work but it's not hot at all.
I remain in the learning phase but I can attest to the errors of steam. No matter how careful I have tried to be I have caused some amount of damage to my synthetics EVERY single time I have applied steam. Some barely noticeable, some repairable and some ruined. Hair dryer is the only heat I will use. Much more predictable for a beginner like me. Thank you for the great information!
Taz, thanks for the info! I must say, you are a plethora of knowledge 🙌🏼❤️. I’ve now been wearing wigs for about three years and still haven’t had the courage to use my Jon Reneau steamer🤦🏻♀️ 😂 I also have had a Muse wig which I purchased from Lisa a few year ago after she reviewed it and there’s just one spot on the side oh the lace front that’s is a smidge frayed so I want to trim the lace and I’m petrified that I’ll ruin the whole thing. Actually , I also purchased two other Muse wigs from wig sisters and the lace seems very wide in front and I’m so worried that trimming them will ruin them. I’m going to check your old videos to see if you have a tutorial on how to do it! Ok dissertation’s over😂😂😂. Have a great day, beautiful ❤️💋
We understand the feeling! I was very timid in the beginning as well. If you think the lace needs trimmed, use some pinking shears and take off little "micro" increments until you reach the desired result. It shouldn't take much.. go forth with courage..lol!! Thank you for sharing! 💪🏻🙏🏻😍
This is what I did to help start to overcome my fear of ruining my wigs…I bought cheap wigs off wish for $8 give or take a few $. I also went to my local thrift stores and bought cheap used wigs and practiced on those, still do, trying different things, seeing what works for me and learning the fibers etc. I like the expensive wigs and it is scary not knowing if I’m gonna possibly ruin it, especially because I can’t afford to ruin them. Just an idea it’s helped me tremendously with learning wigs.
I have Never used a steamer. Considered it though. I use the heat from my hands, or Clips to get it to do what I want. You are Excellent at Training your Wigs!🤗 Here in Minnesota the Snow is Melting! Yay! God Bless you Dear Friend 😙💖💖🐈🐈
I have never used a steamer I have always been afraid. I do think that it will help on that dry hair that happens on the nape of the wig, just my thought. I use simply styling so far so good. The wig I wear that day I take off and use this simply styling ( very little) on my hand and wipe over the nape and comb that area if needed daily. That's been working so far. Love all the information you pass along it helps us all so much. Thank you Taz. We are enjoying are beautiful Florida weather right now. Soon now the weather will be nice in Pa and Ohio. Missing my children and grandchildren very much. Thankful we can video chat!! Hope all your family is doing well. Have a beautiful week Taz! 💕
Thanks for sharing Patty!! It'll be a roller coaster for another few weeks, then spring! Yay! I bet you miss your family.. the one downside to being a snow bird:-) XOXO
Yes! Excellent video, Taz. Great observations. You've made some very valid points about the use of different kinds of heat for restyling/ maintenance, and the possible outcomes we may end up experiencing. I, too, proceed with caution when it comes to doing any sort of tweaking with my wigs. We certainly live n learn through trial and error lol. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of experience with us. You're a powerhouse! Hugs, as always. Take care during these unsettling times xoxo
Greetings Taz! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with different types of heat. I've used my steamer in attempts to restore some older wigs, but I have never really had much success. Of course, they were very well loved, and they were all curly styles. Maybe they were in need of a trim or maybe it was just time to let them go, I don't know. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Great Video subject! ❤️ Same here Taz. Small blasts of medium heat with a hair dryer always does the trick for me. I do this even on non heat friendly, veeery carefully. DISCLAIMER: Not general advice, off course the fibre can be damaged if you don’t know exactly what you are doing.
I agree completely! Start out slow and use the least effective dose of heat.. you can always add more passes with the heat if needed. No need to be afraid, just take it slow a little at a time until effect is acheived. I prefer the dry heat vs the steam.. I always get better results even though I am fairly skilled at both. Thank you!! XOXO
I use steam carefully on almost all of my non-heat friendly pieces by Jon Renau with great success, I use a cheap multi-purpose steamer that does not have a targeted nozzle, so maybe that is why I have never fried the fibers. I love curls, but Julianne and January come with very uniform curl placement, which looks a bit unnatural. So I will leave some curls as they come, and use a similar size of barrel curling iron to make curls the opposite direction with steam (curling iron is off), or sometimes the same direction as the original curls, but a different angle. Sometimes I end up redoing most of the piece from how it came. I have petite features, and medium to large curls don't look quite right on me, so a smaller barrel looks more natural to me. The only thing that doesn't work well is curling completely straight pieces, such as Kristi. They don't tend to take the curl the same way as curly pieces.
Yes I just bought my steamer and am having the most inspiring ideas for curl.I olny have a few wigs Ive used it on but went crazy on cyber monday and have a bunch coming. I am so glad I found your video before they arrived! Your ate stunning byw way❤ Cant wait for future videos 😍 💯👍
Hi Taz! I just purchased a steamer to steam my Raquel Welch pretty please wig and it made it look like silk. I thought I was going to have to cut the frizz off before I found TH-cam videos on how to defrizz. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences 😌
Are you anywhere near Washtenaw county/Ann Arbor area? I am a little south of there. I would love to find anyone within driving distance of me who wears/purchases/thinks about wigs. I have bought so many but can't tell what works and what doesn't. It would be great to have someone to throw ideas and thoughts off of and get input from. All I have is my sister and we have different ideas of what looks good. I'd love additional opinions!
I've used steam frequently on synthetic fibers. I don't over do it--- just enough steam to warm the hair, then set it in roller(s) overnight. I've never had a problem. I wear my hair away from my face and this is how I direct the fibers to flow back away from my face.
Thank you, Taz. I'm on the fence about steaming my wigs. I have a small clothing steamer that I use. On the one hand, I managed to ruin a Finn and a Jon Renau wig that were curly. BUT I also managed to re-curl the Finn using the steamer and an unplugged curling iron. She doesn't look like brand new but she's back to curly now. I have not damaged any of the lace fronts but I know I steamed too close to the permatease on the Jon Renau wig - so not only is it stick straight , it's flat and looks like roadkill.
I’m new to this….new hair, wig, thing as of January. I have 3 Raquel Welch, 1 Gabor, 1 I don’t know because I bought it from a friend, who couldn’t remember what it was and 1 from amazon…to experiment on. I was just getting ready to try the steam, glad now, maybe, I held off. I have used a flat iron for touch ups only. Maybe I will look into the hot air brush. We all have blowers….right?😂. Great tips, Taz…..Thank you!😃👍🏻
These are all great points. I've never used steamer. I tend to not do a lot with my wigs other than hair accessories, like I don't use products much and I don't wash them unless they really need it. The only thing I will do is cut my wigs. And that usually works out. It's good to know all this so thank you for this video
This is a relief. I'm a new wig wearer/collector and so overwhelmed by all the wig how-to's. From hair wax to lotions to shampoos that I see. I have a blonde and pink wig so far. My blonde one definitely needs some work to calm the poof going on and make the top look blended. I was going to get a steamer but this method definitely looks like a safer bet.
Thanks for the comments! It IS confusing! We all have our own preferences.. I think its best practice to try using your hands to style it first.. if that doesn't help, move on to gentle heat and products. Products like styling creme's tend to gum up the hair and make us have to wash more often which can add wear and tear to the wig. XOXO
Please do a video on how to defrizz the ends of non heat friendly and heat friendly fibers. I don't usually change my wig hairstyles, but my big problem is repairing the bottom inch of my wigs where they have rubbed against my collars. So far I have used a round brush and my hairdryer
I ise a wet/dry flat iron wand from Quo for only those areas as you said; i just wet the ends that I am working on as this morning at work before my shift...and on my Well Played...with the dial only on second setting, I clamp down just for a couple of seconds..put more water on my hand and do it again until it feels good again.....😊❤I also used this method with my Ignites from Jon Reneau.
When I saw the part of your wig I was like 😳. “There’s something wrong with my wig guru”.😁 I don’t own a steamer, I use the heated brush once in a while. I have eight wigs, none lace front. My problem is that I get my wigs expecting them to look like yours😂. My disappointment with Jones in Smokyrose is mayor, mine is longer than my previous Silversun8 (which I love), the curl-wave pattern is very different and it looks wiggy. Will keep watching your videos to see if I can love her. Keep up transmitting your knowledge. Have a great spring. 🐞🌷
What about using steam to restore wigs? I know some people even boil wigs to restore them. I use steam on old/second hand wigs to revive them. I don't know what else I could do ?
Thank you so much for the comments and feedback! You will be happy to know that I have started to identify the mannequins below each video. Let me know if you have trouble locating the info! XOXO
I'm sorry if I'm not understanding this. I seem to be the only one!😛 But when you talk about using the hairdryer, are you using it on dry fibers or wet/damp fibers? And regardless of what you were intending to convey, I am still curious - can I use a hairdryer either on HD and non-HD either wet or dry? (so 4 different scenarios) Am I making any sense?🤣🤣
I only use a hair dryer in certain cases when I need a bit of lift at the front, and only small pulses of warm air from about 6-8 inches away. I do this on both heat friendly and not heat friendly and ONLY on DRY fiber, not wet:-) XOXO
I started wearing wigs Aug 2021. I use to have a full head of curly, crazy hair (but no more). I am very use to working with my bio & styling tools, always fighting with curls, etc. So I am comfortable with the streamer, hot air brush and blow dryer for synthetic & HH wigs. To train back “forward leaning” hair (top of the wig toward the front) to keep it from lopping in my face, I used both/either JR’s streamer &/or blow dryer. Whether the streamer or blow dryer, the results are so so. :( With fringe (or front pieces) I like it to be up off my face with some lift (like you have with lots of your wigs). I’ve tried all 3 tools; to date, no perfect solution. I combine product too for lift at the front hairline & fringe. I find it quiet difficult to keep wig hair from flopping in my face and/or front lift … it is frustrating since I’ve worked with my own unruly hair all my life; I am 60. I cant seem to get wigs from not flopping in my face! I have 14 wigs: EW, RW, JR, HM, Noriko, and Eny. I have maybe 4 styles that don’t constantly want to flop in my face. I am really taken back by how difficult it is to train hair flopping issues & maintaining front hairline lift. FYI - I haven’t ruin any wigs to date. 🤞🏻 I am beginning to wonder if No Wig Face Flopping is a realistic goal.
UGH! I am very frustrated with the "forward leaning" hair of wigs as well. I just don't understand why they make them that way. To me, that's a dead giveaway that it is a wig. That's just not what hair does, does it? MY hair never did that. I ruined a wig trying to steam the direction of the hair in a more down the sides or backward direction. It totally exposed that white line that separates the lace front and the mono top - another wig feature that I hate that seems they could eliminate.
@@elaine9396 with the steamer I watched tons of videos on how to steam a wig, both HF and synthetic. You must be very careful - you cant get too close and always continually move the steamer, ie, dont hold the steamer in one place. Less is always best whether it’s a steamer, blow dryer or hot air brush with synthetics. I move the steamer in a waving, slow motion, I dont hold it in one place. I do find it helps with flopping, but it’s not 100%. I dont know if anything is 100%. Disclaimer, I am not a wig expert, just very experienced with my own bio hair & styling tools. It use to take me an 1 hr+ a day to fix my hair, sometimes longer. Please note again I am not a wig expert.
It is a realistic goal! Try holding the hair in place with clips, steam lightly, but leave the clips for an hour. Until completely cool and dry. This works for me.
Thank you for the information about steaming, Taz. Can you let me know the brand and style of the wig marked 'H'? I would love that style in a darker colour.
Hello and thanks for watching! I listed the mannequins and their respective reviews below in the description section labeled “WHAT’S ON MY MANNEQUINS?” for everyone's convenience. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it! Thanks for the comments! XOXO
Hi Taz, I've been on the fence for a long time with respect to buying the steamer....not gonna bother for sure now! Thanks for explaining in clear terms what I've suspected...and yeh, I've fried the front of two pieces.....opening the oven door. Maybe I'll just order in from now on...lol
Yeah found out about opening the oven the hard way. Ruined a brand new wig the bangs melted from the woosh of heat🥺. I was so bummed and had saved up for that wig
Hi Taz, thank you for your video, very informative. One thing, and I hope you reply (and sorry for taking do long to ask as this was filmed months ago), my non heat friendly wig has only just started to have a few frizzies on the ends and I don't have a hairdryer. I do have a JR steamer and a hot air brush though - which one do you personally suggest for this little task? Note, I won't be using the warmth of my hands as that won't help the frizzy parts imo. In talking about the very ends of the wig, nowhere, as yet, else. Any advice? Thank you. x
This is a case where steam will be your best option. Don't be afraid to use steam.. just try to stay away from the permatease layer for best results XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you so much, Taz, I really appreciate it. One other question for you and I'll leave you alone. I've not steamed before, do I need to dampen the ends before I do so? If I dampen my wig, I do prefer to use water(from a spray bottle of course)and not that JR detangling spray at all. I love JR wigs but I don't like their haircare products at all.
What has worked for me is wetting the non-heat friendly wigs is using good old fashioned rollers. I always cut bangs in my wigs and sometimes I want the bangs to have a different "bent". So I'll wet the areas I want changed and then set them with rollers and leave them for a day or two. I've done that with my Renau toppers and a couple of wigs. It stays for a few wearings before I need to "re-set" it. And doesn't ruin the fibers.
Thanks as always for your advice Taz. I'm new to wigs. I just purchased a HM Kendall from an Ebay shop and even though it says it's "new" It has a whacky cowlick in the back and one side has a very deep kinked wave. I'm wondering if this is a typical occurance? I tried washing it which didn't make a difference. It is just a straight synthetic so maybe some low heat from a hairdryer? Can anyone relate to this? Sherry
I don’t use steam either! Are use a blow dryer brush on low with water or with a heat protectant and I try to use as little heat on my wigs as possible. The ones I seem to use the most heat on or my bobs or one length straighter styles and I use as little as possible!
I love that you shared this with us Christina! We all learn from one another.. I am backing away from steam as a go-to. I generally don't like fussing with wigs at all, but if the front needs a quick lift me up, I go to my hairdryer for sure. Hugs! XOXO
Hello! No, I do not wash a new wig unless in the rare occasion it has too much factory silicon on the fibers:-) I limit washing to absolute minimum to help the wig longevity XOXO
Thank you Taz! Can you give me advice on how to bump up volume like on the top and crown? I can use my fingers and some product to get it the way I want it but it doesn’t stay that way. Help please. ❤
I'm still confused - the one question I need answered is what heat do you use to maintain heat friendly wigs, e.g when they start to get crunchy but are not straight. Do you use a hairdryer for everything, to maintain and to keep bangs out of your face?
I just for the first time used heat on 2 of my wigs and I'm very happy with the result. they are heat friendly wigs and before that once I washed a synthetic wig it was basically over, I never could get then to look even close to what I bought originally so Im hsppy in my steam bubble
I thought that a non heat friendly wig was unable to have any heat including the hair dryer?? Also, when you do use your steamer on the extra frizzy pieces, how ti you maintain the curl after/during the defrizzing process?
I don't recommend heat on a non heat friendly wig.. however, some experienced people can use slight bit of heat to reshape or correct certain issues. I use steam when frizz appears XXOXO
I just spent 2 hours steaming 2 heat friendly and 2 non-heat friendly. One of the non-heat friendly I burned when I opened the oven, it will never be quite the same but is works well enough for around the house. I like steam or the hair dryer which I use right after I wash it, it works to do some repair in the back, but only on straight styles or slight up or down turn. I use the steamer to put in curl and take out frizz, I have had good luck so far, but mindful anytime heat is applied to a wig it can do damage. I tried a straight iron on my Voltage and it completely destroyed it and there was not fixing it no mater what method I tried. Thank you so much for all you do to teach and share your experiences.
Hi. I'm looking for a color match for Jon renau Alia wig in 8rh14. I'm looking to buy a Jon Renau Carrie human hair wig and I DO NOT want any Red!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I don't recommend using dry or moist heat on a non heat friendly synthetic fiber. If it's heat friendly, any type of heat has the potential to change the texture of the fiber (curly, straight). Hope that helps!
I’ve noticed that too! I use a hairdryer to revamp my non HD and HD I just always makes sure it’s damp and on very low heat and use a roller brush. They turn out amazing! It’s what works for me and I use simply stylin silicone spray beforehand. If I want it to be curlier than what I’m able to get it with the dryer and roller brush, I will use steam but this is the only time I will… I use curlers with metal and I put a sack over the curlers and let steam rise up in the bag but never direct the steam right on the wig. Like when you’re at the salon and you’re sitting under the dryer. But I will use a Walmart sack just don’t let the ink touch the fibers! And I only have the steam going for about 30-45 seconds and about a minute or two later remove the sack, which I never fully close, and let it dry and cool down. Makes beautiful curls. Sometimes though I will just wrap the wet hair up with those curlers and blow dry it that way since the metal in the rollers get hot it shapes the wig that way, just let it cool. . Thanks, Taz! So glad you said something! I thought I was maybe doing something wrong ONHH the roller dryer brush fried my wigs
Thank you so much for sharing this! No matter how skilled or careful you are, there is still a risk to the wig. There are those that have had issues like this and those that WILL eventually have issues like this..lol. XOXO
Megan, thanks I didn't see your comment at first. I have several wigs that just aren't as Curly as the stock photo shows. I'm going to try your method.
In my opinion the JR steamer is too strong and concentrate too much heat in one point. I do understand that a diffuse steam stream could ruin the style, but I use with caution a cheap wide steamer on not HD fibers and have very nice results. I also take in consideration the different tipes of fibers I am working with, not all the regular synthetics are the same.
Taz, have you ever used hot rollers on a heat friendly wig? I have some foam covered hot rollers and was wondering if I should give them a try. I could just leave them in until they cooled. It would sure be a lot easier and faster.
For my long styles that are clumpy, I prefer to dip them in hot boiled water with Downy in it, then immediately comb with a fine toothed comb. Of course, it makes them completely straight, though. They feel silky soft afterward, but after wearing for a few hours, they feel clumpy again, so I find I have to dip them again after wearing each day.
When my wig got frizzy, I took it to the wig shop and they used heat curlers to style it for me. The style lasted a while, but, I had to keep taking it back for that fix, repeatedly. Soon, I just chose another wig and threw that damaged one out. I think the curlers help. But, the hot rollers are heavy and also heat the cap, likely loosening it, and screws up the permatease by melting it 11:25 down in unexpected random places that can show.
I need something to get the hair from falling over my eyes in many of my wigs. What ive been doing is combing the wig on a canvas head. I pin the hair that keeps falling into my face in the direction of my choice. Then i spray it with water and let it dry and keep it on the canvas head for a while. When i put the wig on, the hair is out of my eyes as i pinned it. Easy peasy. Only difference i think is that im not steaming...just watering!!!❤
Thank you! Your videos are so helpful to me! I just ordered my first “good” wig - Jon Renau Aria! I tried two cheap Amazon wigs first. I’m so excited ☺️
Thank you for explaining the process so thoroughly!! I had my doubts, but I would rather use products. I do have a question about two wigs with letters “P” and “D” in your closet……. Love love them both!!! Thank you in advance! 😍🌷
Hi Nadia! Thank you for watching! I listed the mannequins and their respective reviews under the video in the description for the convenience of all:-) Blessings XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you do much and thank you for your tutorials and videos. I saw a gal on here putting a frozen/cold nipple pad under her wig with a nylon cap over that to keep cool in the summer😹. I wonder how well it works and if fits with my 22.5 head. I am concerned about getting too hot this summer as I overheat without a wig on.
Hi Taz! So, I watched and learned a lot from this video, thanks! In it I believe you said you prefer using a hot air brush or blow dryer first for reshaping the wig. But I can't find any video with a title like that, other than the one showing hot air brush on a heat friendly wig to smooth the front fibers. Well, I'd like to see how it's done on a synthetic non heat friendly wig, to get some of the fibers off of the face, and how to lift/curl the bangs a little for the same reason. I think I've watched some of your videos that show this, but haven't found them now. 😭, 😄 Specifically, I have a few Gabor Carte Blanche wigs. I've trimmed the bangs and it changes some of the beauty of the style. But some of the bangs are longer and really bother me after while. I have a blow dryer and would like to watch how you do it. Can you find a video that shows this? You have so many,! 🙂
I used steam to remove flips in longer straight pieces. I knew I was too close to the fibers as I could see them kinky-curly or just misshapen about half way down to the ends. I’d then spend an hour cutting these off.
I too have stopped steaming my regular synthetics but I’d love to know how steam can fix a lace front if the lace seems a little large an causing gaps at the front. can steaming actually shrink the lace a bit? the video didn’t directly answer this dilemma even though it was listed on uses for the steamer in certain situations. Please can you elaborate. thanks for nother great video.
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET OK thanks for the comment…what canI use to make the lace lay flatter on my hairline? I do use “it Stays to adhere it but would like a better more permanently fix if possible.
i was wondering if maybe some day you could demonstrate what you do to wigs to style them? Right now maybe u and your “youtube family” could suggest a good, first, wig brush? And, if i got a wig brush would i be able to give a wig i find a bit too curly, a good brushing, would that relax the curl a bit? There are so many accessories and conditioners and tools and sprays, Im getting overwhelmed. Heck, I’m just learning how to get my wig on so that it’s not crooked, let alone learning how to straighten them a bit, make them look more piecey, etc. id love some suggestions if it’s appropriate for this forum! 🌹
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Oh jeez, is my face red! Why didn’t I think of that? Must’ve been too obvious. LOL Thanks for your kind patience with me and i’m gonna email support! XOXO right back at ya! 😘❤️🌹
Hi Ladies! I'm a former wig stylist for many years in south florida. I've worked primarily on jon renau wigs which I love by the way. To remove frizz, ALWAYS moisturize with their product for heat friendly wigs or with a leave in conditioner and water in a spray bottle. Use a curling iron at the lowest setting 250 to 300 depending on how bad the frizz is... be quick no more than 5 to 15sec. Use a pin clip or a roller to keep in place while it cools. Using hot rollers will work too, but it doesn't get as smooth and it takes longer. This works for all synthetic fibers. I've had clients who were able to keep their wigs much longer. I miss my clients so much❤I did alterations, color, highlights, cutting, styling and so many other things with wigs and hair pieces. I transformed many lives including my own.
I'm grateful for the experience💖
Love your channel by the way😍
I'm sorry this long🤣but when this fiber first came out jon renau didn't have a steamer for it. But I've used wig steamers and I still stand by the way I did it😁
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing your valuable insights and experience! XOXO
When you use hot rollers do you spritz any water on the fibers? Also, I saw a video once using rollers and then putting heavy plastic over the entire head and spraying add up inside the bag with steam then tying the bag with a string and let it đry. I haven't tried it because I was afraid it might melt the fibers. Have you ever tried this?
@@pamkreutzer9845 spraying what up inside the bag? Seems to be a typo there.
Yes
what kind of curling iron did you use?
Taz you are amazing, as always!!! You and Marlene are my go to gals!!! I am a Retired hairdresser who grew up with falls & wiglets, and even worked in a wig store when I was 18! Here's what I have found: If you are going to steam synthetic hair of any kind, you need to secure it around a smooth roller and clip that roller in place and let it dry completely, otherwise, the hair will rebound, like by your part line in the video. I even take it a step further and use a fabric steamer, with a wide flat head and run that head on top of each section , over the roller--the roller almost acts like your ironing board. Giant rollers let you smooth further down the hair shaft for a smooth look, but then sometimes I will switch it to a smaller one for a tighter curl, right after. Sometimes I use end papers to hold it down, but the steam slightly melts the hair so it holds and a day later is as smooth as silk. By the time your wig needs defuzzing, its already in bad shape, but you can extend its life for another couple of months or more! HD fibers, not as long, but still extends the life. A curling iron on both types, with the hair wet, works really well, too. BUT nothing is as good as a brand new wig!!! I have the new Lange flat iron, which is round and wow can you do some fancy curls & waves with that, but realllllly hard to get the technique down. I am from the roller set era at 72 and the youngins can turn those flat irons on a dime but can't and don't want to do a roller set! Old school and hard for a non-hairdresser, but it works every time! For the money we spend on wigs, both are skill worth learning....or not!!! Basically, steam, wrap, hold securely and dry completely and it'll work! Beachy waves are so hard to duplicate and I think its easier to burn the hair with an iron than steam...........but the science is right on. Back in the day, we would wet set the synthetic wigs, then stand the canvas block in the lowest shelf of the over at 200 degrees, for 30 minutes, turn off the oven and leave it overnight to dry inside. Look of Love taught me that technique...made everlasting curls!!!!! Oh my, this is long winded!!!
Thank you for sharing these comments! XOXO
You put your wig & blockhead in your oven? I just wanted to make sure I read that right
@@judycrisenbery2982 Yes I did!!! Great for curly do's. It permanently sets the curl, like all heat methods. Needs to be wet first, creates its own steam. Never tried with huge rollers....they "bake" wigs professionally!!!
@@leeannebarr576 thank you:-)
I have always been scared to use steam on my regular synthetics. Exactly what you said. Thank you for always keeping us informed so we can get the best life out of our investments.
Thanks so much Melissa! XOXO
I use steam all the time. There's nothing better than a new wig, but after about a month of wear I can't stand it any longer and out comes the steamer. You know what I'm talking about....it takes about a half hour for the nape to be a snarled mess, it's clumpy, frizzy and tangly. When a wig gets to that point I usually steam the whole thing straight and then will put a style back into it using a round brush for waves like in JR Miranda or Minka, or the barrel of a curling iron (unplugged) to form a curl like in JR Julianne or Scarlet, hit it with some steam and wait a few seconds til cooled. I've used steam with curlformers and waveformers and that works excellent as long as you pay attention to the root area and don't get any weird kinks in there. Learning this skill has extended the life of my wigs from a month or two to up to a year or more, and I get a lot more wear out of my favorite wigs!
Thanks so much for sharing this!! XOXO
Thank you. Very important information that will save a lot of people from major mistakes. I warped the lace on a $400 wig that I cant wear anymore.
Thanks for the comments Robin! Sharing our experiences are valuable for all wig wearers, both beginners and veterans! XOXO
I had one that was mishapen after a steam. The wig cap itself was warped and lumpy.
Incredibly helpful. I had bought tabu awhile back and I heat my home via wood stove only... many days I sat in front of that stove wearing my tabu and I just threw it out saying these heat friendly wigs are garbage....
No no... it was my fault and now I got tools to keep my wigs longer.
Thanks Taz... love you too.
Thank you for sharing this experience!! XOXO
Hi Taz, very informative. I have quite a few non HF units, but two in particular are over 10 yrs old. Both are discontinued styles and I'm quite attached to them. Both are long so of course develops infamous frizzies at the back nape. I don't have a wig steamer, but I've owned a small travel-sized hand held steamer that has a brush attachment. This attachment is a lifesaver! That steamer has kept me going with these two discontinued styles, which are not heat friendly. One of these units got singed by an oven blast. I thought I'd have to throw it out, but I got out my trusty steamer and fixed the frizzies area; it was just like new again. As you mentioned, the steam will straighten the fibers, so I use velcro rollers and a few bursts of steam to restore any curl or bounce the steamer originally flattened. Steamers do have their place and have saved my two discontinued units. For the most part, I only develop frizzies at the back nape area so I section off all other fibres and only steam the fibers with the friz. This way, the outside of the unit looks as it did from the manufacturer. I have not used hair dryers on any of my units. Well wishes to you, as always~Rae 🌹🥰
Love this! Thank you for sharing Rae! XOXO
Thank you for mentioning the little brush on the steamer - I have the same one and never thought to use it. I will give it a whirl.
@@Elizabeth-zu7ml It works perfectly Elizabeth. The steam heats up the frizzies and as I brush with pressure straight from the base to the tips of the hair, the hair gets restored to it's silky smooth texture. I am so thankful I held on to this steamer as I initially bought it to steam out wrinkles in my clothes. I never worry about frizzies anymore because the brush attachment fixed them instantly. I hope yours works for you too.Also, if you find the brush steaming straightening out any waves or curls, I use velcro rollers and just give the rolled up hair some good bursts of steam. Let the rolled up hair dry completely before you remove the rollers. Long live our hair! 🌹
Great advice! Thank you. I've never attempted to use steam. A hairdryer is what I've attempted to use if needed. xoxo Have a fabulous week ahead.
I'm with ya there, Valli! Thank you for sharing! XOXO

Thank you sweet friend! I appreciate your support and friendship! XOXO
Thanks so very much for this video. The steamer as a styling tool or aid has always been something that I never felt 100% on board with. As for frizzies, that's a different story for me. As far as styling and wig care in general, I'm a minimalist, meaning avoiding styling productsand if I decide to use it, it's in a very specific area with as little as possible. Overall, I'm a spray bottle of water, scrunched, hang upside down, clips, etc. Using the heat of my hands and, if need, be a shot of air from the blow dryer to accomplish what I'm wanting. I'm extremely focused on the care and maintenance of my wigs than anything else, which are tips I learned from YOU, LOL! But they all still have the same soft, silky, healthy hair look and feel, and that makes me a happy girl! Thanks SO SO much for this crucial video!
Thank you so much for sharing this! XOXO

Great information! Thanks for taking time to give us best tips!
I appreciate the feedback Mary Ann! XOXO
I’ve had good luck using my Conair hot air brush on high to defrizz and dry my Jon Renau HD toppers. I used your tip about adding the Simply Stylin’ silicone spray to the ends a few minutes before washing. I then wash with Woolite, rinse and soak for a few minutes in water with fabric softener before rinsing again. I roll the topper in a towel, shake off any excess water, and pin to a wig head. I dry in small sections, pulling the ends fairly tight to the hot brush until dry, about 8-10 seconds before releasing. It makes the topper feel almost like new for several wears! Thanks for your advice and videos. I’m always looking forward to seeing what you’ll be doing and wearing next! 💁🏼♀️ 💕
Thank you for sharing!! XOXO
Thank you talking about not using a steamer. I never dug my steamer out of my craft room and it will be a very long time before I do since Ida did damage to my house. I do have the velvet hot rollers from the 80's or 90's, the hot sticks, and a hair dryer. I have the regular sponge rollers and some vidal sassoon sure grip rollers with clips also. Curling irons in different sizes, a flat iron, that you can change the plates to a crimper, a small flat iron, a 3 barrel waver and a couple of the hot air styling brushes. Thinning shears and hair scissors. I started doing my hair and my mother's as a teenager, mom passed in 2006. I am now going on 61 and wear wigs because of health problems and medications. Never went through cosmetology school, but we always got compliments on our hair and asked what salon we used. As a teenager and in my 20's, I would use hair clippers to cut the neighborhood kids and the pet clippers on my dogs. Over the years, the soft bonnet and the hard bonnet dryers have worn out. I have collected these items over the years. So I do have a lot that can be used. All these have been used on bio hair, but so glad to be able to use on my wigs.
Thank you for sharing!! XOXO
I would love to see you do a video on some simple styling techniques.

Meeee toooo!! I love it when I don't have to fuss! XOXO
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I greatly appreciate you. I am a beginner wig wearer and my JR wig steamer is in process for delivery. You are truly a beautiful lady inside and out. You are my favorite TH-cam channel. I find you to be very explicit and thorough. I love ❤️ watching you. God Bless You 🙏🏼
I appreciate the kind comments so very much! 💕💕💕
Thank you so much for this information. I am no longer on the fence about getting a steamer. Nope! I'll stick with the warmth of my hands, spritz of water, hair clips and wig styling products. Sometimes I think we may have unreasonable expectations that our bio hair would never be able to achieve.
LOVE this! Steamers are great but I think they have a narrow purpose to be most effective. Water, hands, clips.. These methods are practically free, right?! Very true about expectations XOXO
I find that steam doesn't work well at all on a permatease wig, especially at the root area. However it can work great on long styles. It's great to smooth out the nape area, and the ends. It's also good to reset a monotop wig with rollers and steam. Hot rollers are also a great way to restyle a synthetic wig. I have used them on both heat friendly and non heat friendly. The rollers that are lined in felt or a velvet-like fabric are the best. They don't snag the hair and it's more of an indirect heat. You just leave them in until they fully cool like real hair. Great for adding a curl or wave back to a wig
Thanks so much for sharing!! XOXO
I think you might be right on this because I feel like my wigs never look as good after I have steamed them as they did when I originally got them.
Thank you so much for this video, Taz! I agree and personally rarely if ever take a steamer to my non-HD. For styling, I prefer the hot airbrush and hot tool for my HD. Great video! Thank you!! xoxo
Thanks so much for sharing Mar! As wig wearers, we each find our preferred methods.. but it's so nice to hear the experiences of others! One viewer says she ruined her lace front by using steam on it.. this is one area I would avoid with direct steam.. Thank you again! Hugs! XOXO
Thank you Taz... This is very interesting and useful!
🙏🏻🤗😍
I totally agree. I've noticed a funky feeling to my heat friendly wigs when I've used steam - my RW Unfiltered especially. And, dang it, I ruined my Ellen Wille Turn (non heat friendly) when I attempted to loosen the curls! She's stick straight now and only fit to wear with a baseball cap. Lol! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences/observations and preferred methods. As usual, you've presented a most helpful video! Wig life rules! 🙂
We LIVE and LEARN as wig wearers, right?! I was not and still am not an expert.. but I did learn to do a little at a time no matter the type of heat I am using. Hugs! XOXO
Sheri, I had a synth wig I thought I ruined for good by using too high heat & it sat for months. Then I pulled It back out (what the heck, wasn't good for anything anyway, might as well experiment on it or throw it out). I washed it, let it air dry, & then used a curling iron (setting 5 of 25), for 5-10 seconds on the dry hair, pinning curl with a tiny or small claw clip until completely cooled & I was very happy with the result! I have even felt confident enough to wear it out a few times so far & still very happy with it! By the way, I don't use many products bc I can't afford them, but I usually use leave in conditioner or heat protectant oil when curling dry hair. Not much, a small spray on the part I am getting ready to curl (about 1-2" wide) comb to spread it thru, then curl.
Thank you, Taz. Great information!! Btw, i ordered Caliente, Root Beer Float Blonde( i think thats the color) lol, and im very excited to get her. Learning a lot from you Taz, thanks again, have a wonderful day and upcoming week!! 💕
Yay! I love Caliente.. especially in RFB!! Hugs! XOXO
Excellent info! New wig wearer so very valuable to know when and how to shape a style and repair frizz and clumps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
I love my steamer but I only use it to get rid of frizz at the nape and ends. On both my HF and non HF wigs, I usually go for the hot air brush because it just doesn't get hot at all. I will spray down the sections of hair that I want to style with some water and use a straight iron set to like 10. Mine goes to 25 so again, it's warm enough to work but it's not hot at all.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us! XOXO
I remain in the learning phase but I can attest to the errors of steam. No matter how careful I have tried to be I have caused some amount of damage to my synthetics EVERY single time I have applied steam. Some barely noticeable, some repairable and some ruined. Hair dryer is the only heat I will use. Much more predictable for a beginner like me.
Thank you for the great information!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us Heather! XOXO
Taz, thanks for the info! I must say, you are a plethora of knowledge 🙌🏼❤️. I’ve now been wearing wigs for about three years and still haven’t had the courage to use my Jon Reneau steamer🤦🏻♀️ 😂 I also have had a Muse wig which I purchased from Lisa a few year ago after she reviewed it and there’s just one spot on the side oh the lace front that’s is a smidge frayed so I want to trim the lace and I’m petrified that I’ll ruin the whole thing. Actually , I also purchased two other Muse wigs from wig sisters and the lace seems very wide in front and I’m so worried that trimming them will ruin them. I’m going to check your old videos to see if you have a tutorial on how to do it! Ok dissertation’s over😂😂😂. Have a great day, beautiful ❤️💋
We understand the feeling! I was very timid in the beginning as well. If you think the lace needs trimmed, use some pinking shears and take off little "micro" increments until you reach the desired result. It shouldn't take much.. go forth with courage..lol!! Thank you for sharing! 💪🏻🙏🏻😍
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET 😂😂 💪 well, you’ve talked me into it! Time to pull those pinking shears out and bite the bullet 🤣❤️
This is what I did to help start to overcome my fear of ruining my wigs…I bought cheap wigs off wish for $8 give or take a few $. I also went to my local thrift stores and bought cheap used wigs and practiced on those, still do, trying different things, seeing what works for me and learning the fibers etc. I like the expensive wigs and it is scary not knowing if I’m gonna possibly ruin it, especially because I can’t afford to ruin them. Just an idea it’s helped me tremendously with learning wigs.
@@Miak214 this is a FANTASTIC tip!!! Why did I never think of that? Thank you for sharing 😊.
I have Never used a steamer. Considered it though. I use the heat from my hands, or Clips to get it to do what I want. You are Excellent at Training your Wigs!🤗 Here in Minnesota the Snow is Melting! Yay!
God Bless you Dear Friend 😙💖💖🐈🐈
I love that you shared this Michelle! And I am so glad you've had success, as do I, with the hand styling and clips! Love and biggest hugs! XOXO
I have never used a steamer I have always been afraid. I do think that it will help on that dry hair that happens on the nape of the wig, just my thought. I use simply styling so far so good. The wig I wear that day I take off and use this simply styling ( very little) on my hand and wipe over the nape and comb that area if needed daily. That's been working so far. Love all the information you pass along it helps us all so much. Thank you Taz. We are enjoying are beautiful Florida weather right now. Soon now the weather will be nice in Pa and Ohio. Missing my children and grandchildren very much. Thankful we can video chat!! Hope all your family is doing well. Have a beautiful week Taz! 💕
Thanks for sharing Patty!! It'll be a roller coaster for another few weeks, then spring! Yay! I bet you miss your family.. the one downside to being a snow bird:-) XOXO
Yes! Excellent video, Taz.
Great observations. You've made some very valid points about the use of different kinds of heat for restyling/ maintenance, and the possible outcomes we may end up experiencing.
I, too, proceed with caution when it comes to doing any sort of tweaking with my wigs. We certainly live n learn through trial and error lol.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of experience with us. You're a powerhouse!
Hugs, as always. Take care during these unsettling times xoxo
🤗😍😍
Greetings Taz! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with different types of heat. I've used my steamer in attempts to restore some older wigs, but I have never really had much success. Of course, they were very well loved, and they were all curly styles. Maybe they were in need of a trim or maybe it was just time to let them go, I don't know. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Thank you for sharing Jean!! Blessings and hugs! XOXO
Great Video subject! ❤️ Same here Taz. Small blasts of medium heat with a hair dryer always does the trick for me. I do this even on non heat friendly, veeery carefully. DISCLAIMER: Not general advice, off course the fibre can be damaged if you don’t know exactly what you are doing.
I agree completely! Start out slow and use the least effective dose of heat.. you can always add more passes with the heat if needed. No need to be afraid, just take it slow a little at a time until effect is acheived. I prefer the dry heat vs the steam.. I always get better results even though I am fairly skilled at both. Thank you!! XOXO
I use steam carefully on almost all of my non-heat friendly pieces by Jon Renau with great success, I use a cheap multi-purpose steamer that does not have a targeted nozzle, so maybe that is why I have never fried the fibers. I love curls, but Julianne and January come with very uniform curl placement, which looks a bit unnatural. So I will leave some curls as they come, and use a similar size of barrel curling iron to make curls the opposite direction with steam (curling iron is off), or sometimes the same direction as the original curls, but a different angle. Sometimes I end up redoing most of the piece from how it came. I have petite features, and medium to large curls don't look quite right on me, so a smaller barrel looks more natural to me. The only thing that doesn't work well is curling completely straight pieces, such as Kristi. They don't tend to take the curl the same way as curly pieces.
Yes I just bought my steamer and am having the most inspiring ideas for curl.I olny have a few wigs Ive used it on but went crazy on cyber monday and have a bunch coming. I am so glad I found your video before they arrived! Your ate stunning byw way❤ Cant wait for future videos 😍 💯👍
🙏🏻🙌🏻💃
Hi Taz!
I just purchased a steamer to steam my Raquel Welch pretty please wig and it made it look like silk. I thought I was going to have to cut the frizz off before I found TH-cam videos on how to defrizz.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences 😌
Thanks for sharing! XOXO
Thank you Taz, as always great advice. I have a steamer, but I’ve never used it, because I’m so afraid that I might ruin my wig.
Thank you for the comments!! XOXO
I'm so relieved! The steamer kind of scares me, frankly! Anyone want to buy my pre-bought, never-used JR steamer?
Hi Taz, You are a wealth of knowledge, thank you.
Watching from Michigan…Kim😊
Thank you for the comments Kim! XOXO
Are you anywhere near Washtenaw county/Ann Arbor area? I am a little south of there. I would love to find anyone within driving distance of me who wears/purchases/thinks about wigs. I have bought so many but can't tell what works and what doesn't. It would be great to have someone to throw ideas and thoughts off of and get input from. All I have is my sister and we have different ideas of what looks good. I'd love additional opinions!
I've used steam frequently on synthetic fibers. I don't over do it--- just enough steam to warm the hair, then set it in roller(s) overnight. I've never had a problem. I wear my hair away from my face and this is how I direct the fibers to flow back away from my face.
Thanks so much for sharing, Mary! XOXO
I have had absolutely no luck in steaming g caliente or lemonade away from my face so annoying and keeps coming down on my face
Thank you, Taz. I'm on the fence about steaming my wigs. I have a small clothing steamer that I use. On the one hand, I managed to ruin a Finn and a Jon Renau wig that were curly. BUT I also managed to re-curl the Finn using the steamer and an unplugged curling iron. She doesn't look like brand new but she's back to curly now. I have not damaged any of the lace fronts but I know I steamed too close to the permatease on the Jon Renau wig - so not only is it stick straight , it's flat and looks like roadkill.
I’m new to this….new hair, wig, thing as of January. I have 3 Raquel Welch, 1 Gabor, 1 I don’t know because I bought it from a friend, who couldn’t remember what it was and 1 from amazon…to experiment on. I was just getting ready to try the steam, glad now, maybe, I held off. I have used a flat iron for touch ups only. Maybe I will look into the hot air brush. We all have blowers….right?😂. Great tips, Taz…..Thank you!😃👍🏻
🤩🤗😍
Been there done that, too. 😓Thanks for sharing your experience. 😄
😮🤪🤗😍
I use steam on any frizzy ends. Thank you for the tips!❤️❤️❤️
These are all great points. I've never used steamer. I tend to not do a lot with my wigs other than hair accessories, like I don't use products much and I don't wash them unless they really need it. The only thing I will do is cut my wigs. And that usually works out. It's good to know all this so thank you for this video
😍😍😍
This is a relief. I'm a new wig wearer/collector and so overwhelmed by all the wig how-to's. From hair wax to lotions to shampoos that I see. I have a blonde and pink wig so far. My blonde one definitely needs some work to calm the poof going on and make the top look blended. I was going to get a steamer but this method definitely looks like a safer bet.
Thanks for the comments! It IS confusing! We all have our own preferences.. I think its best practice to try using your hands to style it first.. if that doesn't help, move on to gentle heat and products. Products like styling creme's tend to gum up the hair and make us have to wash more often which can add wear and tear to the wig. XOXO
Please do a video on how to defrizz the ends of non heat friendly and heat friendly fibers. I don't usually change my wig hairstyles, but my big problem is repairing the bottom inch of my wigs where they have rubbed against my collars. So far I have used a round brush and my hairdryer
Thank you for your post. I had a bad feeling about heat, period.
I ise a wet/dry flat iron wand from Quo for only those areas as you said; i just wet the ends that I am working on as this morning at work before my shift...and on my Well Played...with the dial only on second setting, I clamp down just for a couple of seconds..put more water on my hand and do it again until it feels good again.....😊❤I also used this method with my Ignites from Jon Reneau.
When I saw the part of your wig I was like 😳. “There’s something wrong with my wig guru”.😁
I don’t own a steamer, I use the heated brush once in a while. I have eight wigs, none lace front. My problem is that I get my wigs expecting them to look like yours😂. My disappointment with Jones in Smokyrose is mayor, mine is longer than my previous Silversun8 (which I love), the curl-wave pattern is very different and it looks wiggy. Will keep watching your videos to see if I can love her. Keep up transmitting your knowledge. Have a great spring. 🐞🌷
I appreciate the sharing!! XOXO
What about using steam to restore wigs? I know some people even boil wigs to restore them. I use steam on old/second hand wigs to revive them. I don't know what else I could do ?
I didn't realise this thanks so much Taz 💜
🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for this video and explanation. I am new to wigs and have learned so much from you. Love F and K behind you. What styles are they?
Thank you so much for the comments and feedback! You will be happy to know that I have started to identify the mannequins below each video. Let me know if you have trouble locating the info! XOXO
I'm sorry if I'm not understanding this. I seem to be the only one!😛 But when you talk about using the hairdryer, are you using it on dry fibers or wet/damp fibers? And regardless of what you were intending to convey, I am still curious - can I use a hairdryer either on HD and non-HD either wet or dry? (so 4 different scenarios) Am I making any sense?🤣🤣
I only use a hair dryer in certain cases when I need a bit of lift at the front, and only small pulses of warm air from about 6-8 inches away. I do this on both heat friendly and not heat friendly and ONLY on DRY fiber, not wet:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET Thank you!
Great advice!! I do the same with all of my wigs as well! 💖
I started wearing wigs Aug 2021. I use to have a full head of curly, crazy hair (but no more). I am very use to working with my bio & styling tools, always fighting with curls, etc. So I am comfortable with the streamer, hot air brush and blow dryer for synthetic & HH wigs. To train back “forward leaning” hair (top of the wig toward the front) to keep it from lopping in my face, I used both/either JR’s streamer &/or blow dryer. Whether the streamer or blow dryer, the results are so so. :( With fringe (or front pieces) I like it to be up off my face with some lift (like you have with lots of your wigs). I’ve tried all 3 tools; to date, no perfect solution. I combine product too for lift at the front hairline & fringe. I find it quiet difficult to keep wig hair from flopping in my face and/or front lift … it is frustrating since I’ve worked with my own unruly hair all my life; I am 60. I cant seem to get wigs from not flopping in my face! I have 14 wigs: EW, RW, JR, HM, Noriko, and Eny. I have maybe 4 styles that don’t constantly want to flop in my face. I am really taken back by how difficult it is to train hair flopping issues & maintaining front hairline lift. FYI - I haven’t ruin any wigs to date. 🤞🏻 I am beginning to wonder if No Wig Face Flopping is a realistic goal.
Great commentary! XOXO
UGH! I am very frustrated with the "forward leaning" hair of wigs as well. I just don't understand why they make them that way. To me, that's a dead giveaway that it is a wig. That's just not what hair does, does it? MY hair never did that. I ruined a wig trying to steam the direction of the hair in a more down the sides or backward direction. It totally exposed that white line that separates the lace front and the mono top - another wig feature that I hate that seems they could eliminate.
@@elaine9396 with the steamer I watched tons of videos on how to steam a wig, both HF and synthetic. You must be very careful - you cant get too close and always continually move the steamer, ie, dont hold the steamer in one place. Less is always best whether it’s a steamer, blow dryer or hot air brush with synthetics. I move the steamer in a waving, slow motion, I dont hold it in one place. I do find it helps with flopping, but it’s not 100%. I dont know if anything is 100%. Disclaimer, I am not a wig expert, just very experienced with my own bio hair & styling tools. It use to take me an 1 hr+ a day to fix my hair, sometimes longer. Please note again I am not a wig expert.
It is a realistic goal! Try holding the hair in place with clips, steam lightly, but leave the clips for an hour. Until completely cool and dry. This works for me.
I agree; I usually just use my blowdryer. It also takes less time.
💯😍🤩
Thank you, Taz, for your information! I really appreciate it!🥰
Thank you for the information about steaming, Taz. Can you let me know the brand and style of the wig marked 'H'? I would love that style in a darker colour.
Hello and thanks for watching! I listed the mannequins and their respective reviews below in the description section labeled “WHAT’S ON MY MANNEQUINS?” for everyone's convenience. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it! Thanks for the comments! XOXO
Hi Taz, I've been on the fence for a long time with respect to buying the steamer....not gonna bother for sure now! Thanks for explaining in clear terms what I've suspected...and yeh, I've fried the front of two pieces.....opening the oven door. Maybe I'll just order in from now on...lol
😮🤗🤗
So helpful ! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah found out about opening the oven the hard way. Ruined a brand new wig the bangs melted from the woosh of heat🥺. I was so bummed and had saved up for that wig
😥😥😥
Hi Taz, thank you for your video, very informative. One thing, and I hope you reply (and sorry for taking do long to ask as this was filmed months ago), my non heat friendly wig has only just started to have a few frizzies on the ends and I don't have a hairdryer. I do have a JR steamer and a hot air brush though - which one do you personally suggest for this little task? Note, I won't be using the warmth of my hands as that won't help the frizzy parts imo. In talking about the very ends of the wig, nowhere, as yet, else. Any advice? Thank you. x
This is a case where steam will be your best option. Don't be afraid to use steam.. just try to stay away from the permatease layer for best results XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you so much, Taz, I really appreciate it. One other question for you and I'll leave you alone. I've not steamed before, do I need to dampen the ends before I do so? If I dampen my wig, I do prefer to use water(from a spray bottle of course)and not that JR detangling spray at all. I love JR wigs but I don't like their haircare products at all.
Great advice, Taz! Thank you
What has worked for me is wetting the non-heat friendly wigs is using good old fashioned rollers. I always cut bangs in my wigs and sometimes I want the bangs to have a different "bent". So I'll wet the areas I want changed and then set them with rollers and leave them for a day or two. I've done that with my Renau toppers and a couple of wigs. It stays for a few wearings before I need to "re-set" it. And doesn't ruin the fibers.
Yay! Thanks so much for sharing this trick! XOXO
Thanks as always for your advice Taz. I'm new to wigs. I just purchased a HM Kendall from an Ebay shop and even though it says it's "new" It has a whacky cowlick in the back and one side has a very deep kinked wave. I'm wondering if this is a typical occurance? I tried washing it which didn't make a difference. It is just a straight synthetic so maybe some low heat from a hairdryer? Can anyone relate to this? Sherry
Hi Sherry! Sounds like "cold set".. this video may help th-cam.com/video/ZLsOlIP50fU/w-d-xo.html XOXO
I don’t use steam either! Are use a blow dryer brush on low with water or with a heat protectant and I try to use as little heat on my wigs as possible. The ones I seem to use the most heat on or my bobs or one length straighter styles and I use as little as possible!
I love that you shared this with us Christina! We all learn from one another.. I am backing away from steam as a go-to. I generally don't like fussing with wigs at all, but if the front needs a quick lift me up, I go to my hairdryer for sure. Hugs! XOXO
Thank You..very helpful.. this is off the subject but I would like to know when you get a new wig do you wash it immediately?❤
Hello! No, I do not wash a new wig unless in the rare occasion it has too much factory silicon on the fibers:-) I limit washing to absolute minimum to help the wig longevity XOXO
Thank you Taz! Can you give me advice on how to bump up volume like on the top and crown? I can use my fingers and some product to get it the way I want it but it doesn’t stay that way. Help please. ❤
Perhaps fluff permatease with fingers and use some wig spray XOXO
I'm still confused - the one question I need answered is what heat do you use to maintain heat friendly wigs, e.g when they start to get crunchy but are not straight. Do you use a hairdryer for everything, to maintain and to keep bangs out of your face?
I use steam to tame frizz on my heat friendly wigs
I just for the first time used heat on 2 of my wigs and I'm very happy with the result. they are heat friendly wigs and before that once I washed a synthetic wig it was basically over, I never could get then to look even close to what I bought originally so Im hsppy in my steam bubble
Thank you for the information! I love your tips.
🤗🤩🤩
I thought that a non heat friendly wig was unable to have any heat including the hair dryer?? Also, when you do use your steamer on the extra frizzy pieces, how ti you maintain the curl after/during the defrizzing process?
I don't recommend heat on a non heat friendly wig.. however, some experienced people can use slight bit of heat to reshape or correct certain issues. I use steam when frizz appears XXOXO
I just spent 2 hours steaming 2 heat friendly and 2 non-heat friendly. One of the non-heat friendly I burned when I opened the oven, it will never be quite the same but is works well enough for around the house. I like steam or the hair dryer which I use right after I wash it, it works to do some repair in the back, but only on straight styles or slight up or down turn. I use the steamer to put in curl and take out frizz, I have had good luck so far, but mindful anytime heat is applied to a wig it can do damage. I tried a straight iron on my Voltage and it completely destroyed it and there was not fixing it no mater what method I tried. Thank you so much for all you do to teach and share your experiences.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! XOXO
Hi. I'm looking for a color match for Jon renau Alia wig in 8rh14. I'm looking to buy a Jon Renau Carrie human hair wig and I DO NOT want any Red!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! The support desk at WigStudio1 would love to help! Email support@wigstudio1.com XOXO
Will using a dry heat like a hair dryer straighten a wig like steam does after you wash and de matt
I don't recommend using dry or moist heat on a non heat friendly synthetic fiber. If it's heat friendly, any type of heat has the potential to change the texture of the fiber (curly, straight). Hope that helps!
What wig is that on the D ..I really love all your tips and reviews
Hi there! You will be happy to know that I am now identifying the mannequins below the video in the description box XOXO
I’ve noticed that too! I use a hairdryer to revamp my non HD and HD I just always makes sure it’s damp and on very low heat and use a roller brush. They turn out amazing! It’s what works for me and I use simply stylin silicone spray beforehand.
If I want it to be curlier than what I’m able to get it with the dryer and roller brush, I will use steam but this is the only time I will…
I use curlers with metal and I put a sack over the curlers and let steam rise up in the bag but never direct the steam right on the wig. Like when you’re at the salon and you’re sitting under the dryer. But I will use a Walmart sack just don’t let the ink touch the fibers! And I only have the steam going for about 30-45 seconds and about a minute or two later remove the sack, which I never fully close, and let it dry and cool down. Makes beautiful curls.
Sometimes though I will just wrap the wet hair up with those curlers and blow dry it that way since the metal in the rollers get hot it shapes the wig that way, just let it cool. .
Thanks, Taz! So glad you said something! I thought I was maybe doing something wrong
ONHH the roller dryer brush fried my wigs
Thank you so much for sharing this! No matter how skilled or careful you are, there is still a risk to the wig. There are those that have had issues like this and those that WILL eventually have issues like this..lol. XOXO
Megan, thanks I didn't see your comment at first. I have several wigs that just aren't as Curly as the stock photo shows. I'm going to try your method.
On my heat friendly wigs/toppers I will use a flat iron (lowest setting) on frizzy ends. Works great.
In my opinion the JR steamer is too strong and concentrate too much heat in one point. I do understand that a diffuse steam stream could ruin the style, but I use with caution a cheap wide steamer on not HD fibers and have very nice results. I also take in consideration the different tipes of fibers I am working with, not all the regular synthetics are the same.
Taz, have you ever used hot rollers on a heat friendly wig? I have some foam covered hot rollers and was wondering if I should give them a try. I could just leave them in until they cooled. It would sure be a lot easier and faster.
I have not tried the hot rollers! I personally probably would not because I wouldn't feel in control of the amount of heat being delivered:-) XOXO
That’s a great point. ❤️👍
Helpful as always Taz. Thanks 🍀
😍😍😍
What is your opinion on using an Airflow Styler Tech type flatiron?
Hello! I do not have that applicance, but I have used a flat iron on my heat friendly styles and it works great! XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thanks for your quick reply. I always learn so much when watching your videos. Thank you for doing what you do.
For my long styles that are clumpy, I prefer to dip them in hot boiled water with Downy in it, then immediately comb with a fine toothed comb. Of course, it makes them completely straight, though. They feel silky soft afterward, but after wearing for a few hours, they feel clumpy again, so I find I have to dip them again after wearing each day.
🤗🤗🤗
I once did that to a wig that was too curly. I figured I had nothing to lose, and it worked!
When my wig got frizzy, I took it to the wig shop and they used heat curlers to style it for me. The style lasted a while, but, I had to keep taking it back for that fix, repeatedly. Soon, I just chose another wig and threw that damaged one out. I think the curlers help. But, the hot rollers are heavy and also heat the cap, likely loosening it, and screws up the permatease by melting it 11:25 down in unexpected random places that can show.
I need something to get the hair from falling over my eyes in many of my wigs. What ive been doing is combing the wig on a canvas head. I pin the hair that keeps falling into my face in the direction of my choice. Then i spray it with water and let it dry and keep it on the canvas head for a while. When i put the wig on, the hair is out of my eyes as i pinned it. Easy peasy. Only difference i think is that im not steaming...just watering!!!❤
steam scares me. i think i just ruined a ew gilda mono with steam. washing now, hoping to get it back to somewhat normal. thanks.
Please tell me what wig is on the “D” head. I love it!!!!!
D IS th-cam.com/video/5y1xzC4nAak/w-d-xo.html
I didn’t know you should be concerned about brief exposure to heat from the oven or other cooking. Do you need to take off your wig in those cases?
I learn to keep my head out of the path of the heat and steam, so I continue to wear wigs while cooking:-)
Thank you! Your videos are so helpful to me! I just ordered my first “good” wig - Jon Renau Aria! I tried two cheap Amazon wigs first. I’m so excited ☺️
Thank you for explaining the process so thoroughly!! I had my doubts, but I would rather use products.
I do have a question about two wigs with letters “P” and “D” in your closet……. Love love them both!!!

What about Caruso steam rollers? Are they bad as well? I am a new wig wearer. Thank you🥰
Steam isn't bad.. and steam rollers used on heat friendly synthetic fiber is fine:-) XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you do much and thank you for your tutorials and videos. I saw a gal on here putting a frozen/cold nipple pad under her wig with a nylon cap over that to keep cool in the summer😹. I wonder how well it works and if fits with my 22.5 head. I am concerned about getting too hot this summer as I overheat without a wig on.
Hi Taz! So, I watched and learned a lot from this video, thanks! In it I believe you said you prefer using a hot air brush or blow dryer first for reshaping the wig. But I can't find any video with a title like that, other than the one showing hot air brush on a heat friendly wig to smooth the front fibers.
Well, I'd like to see how it's done on a synthetic non heat friendly wig, to get some of the fibers off of the face, and how to lift/curl the bangs a little for the same reason. I think I've watched some of your videos that show this, but haven't found them now. 😭, 😄
Specifically, I have a few Gabor Carte Blanche wigs. I've trimmed the bangs and it changes some of the beauty of the style. But some of the bangs are longer and really bother me after while.
I have a blow dryer and would like to watch how you do it.
Can you find a video that shows this? You have so many,! 🙂
Thanks for sharing Karen! I use a hairdryer in this video th-cam.com/video/4EqkXhDVFJw/w-d-xo.html XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET thank you Taz 😊 !
I used steam to remove flips in longer straight pieces. I knew I was too close to the fibers as I could see them kinky-curly or just misshapen about half way down to the ends. I’d then spend an hour cutting these off.
How can a steamer help a lace front? Will it help a lace front that won't lay down onto your forehead flat?
I do not use steam on my lace fronts
Good Info! Good to see you❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🤗
I opened the stove to remove a casserole. Steam hit my bangs. Then the bangs fizzled. 💔
Hearbreaking for sure! Once bitten.. as they say..lol. Heat can be a wigs' best friend or a wigs' worse foe..lol
I too have stopped steaming my regular synthetics but I’d love to know how steam can fix a lace front if the lace seems a little large an causing gaps at the front. can steaming actually shrink the lace a bit? the video didn’t directly answer this dilemma even though it was listed on uses for the steamer in certain situations. Please can you elaborate.
thanks for nother great video.
I personally would not use steam on a lace front XOXO
@@TAZSWIGCLOSET OK thanks for the comment…what canI use to make the lace lay flatter on my hairline? I do use “it Stays to adhere it but would like a better more permanently fix if possible.
@@carollowne4883 I tightened my wig and put a stitch in each side of the nape. That tightened the wig and made the lace lay flat.

i was wondering if maybe some day you could demonstrate what you do to wigs to style them? Right now maybe u and your “youtube family” could suggest a good, first, wig brush? And, if i got a wig brush would i be able to give a wig i find a bit too curly, a good brushing, would that relax the curl a bit? There are so many accessories and conditioners and tools and sprays, Im getting overwhelmed. Heck, I’m just learning how to get my wig on so that it’s not crooked, let alone learning how to straighten them a bit, make them look more piecey, etc. id love some suggestions if it’s appropriate for this forum! 🌹
