Unlock the secret to stunning, long-lasting styles for your human hair wig without ever reaching for a hot tool. As a leading hair vendor with expertise direct from our Wig Factory, we at Reddmoon know that the key to preserving the beauty and lifespan of your investment is gentle care. Heatless styling not only protects the delicate hair fibers from damage but also allows you to create a variety of gorgeous curls, waves, and textures.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through our top five heat-free techniques to keep your Reddmoon human hair wig looking fresh, natural, and full of life.
Before You Begin: The Perfect Prep
-
Start with a Clean Slate: Ensure your wig is clean, conditioned, and gently detangled with a wide-tooth comb.
-
Mount Your Wig: Securely place your Reddmoon wig on a mannequin head or canvas block head. This provides a stable base to work on, making the styling process much easier.
-
Dampen the Hair: Lightly mist the hair with water using a spray bottle until it is slightly damp, but not soaking wet. This helps the hair mold into its new shape as it dries.
1. The Braid-Out for Effortless Beach Waves
This classic technique is one of the simplest ways to achieve soft, natural-looking waves that are perfect for any occasion.
1. The Braid-Out for Effortless Beach Waves
- Part the damp hair on your wig into sections. For loose, flowing waves, create 2-4 large braids. For tighter, more defined waves, create 6-8 smaller braids.
- Braid each section from the base to the tips and secure the ends with a gentle hair tie (like a scrunchie) to avoid creating kinks.
- Allow the wig to air dry completely. This can take several hours or can be left overnight.
- Once dry, carefully undo each braid. Gently separate the waves with your fingers—avoid using a brush, as this can cause frizz.
2. The Twist-Out for Defined Curls
For beautiful, springy curls with more definition than waves, the twist-out method is your go-to.
-
Section the damp wig hair into small, one-inch squares.
-
Take one section and divide it into two equal strands. Twist these two strands tightly around each other from root to tip (a two-strand twist).
-
Secure the end of each twist with a small, gentle elastic. For extra hold, you can wrap each twist into a mini-bun and pin it to the wig cap.
-
Let the twists set completely overnight.
-
Once fully dry, gently unravel each twist. You can separate the curls further for more volume, but do so carefully to maintain definition.
3. The Roller Set for Voluminous, Bouncy Curls
A timeless classic, roller setting is perfect for achieving everything from soft, voluminous curls to tight, bouncy ringlets. The quality of hair from a professional Wig Factory like Reddmoon holds these sets beautifully.
-
Choose your rollers. Use large foam or Velcro rollers for volume and large curls, and smaller ones for tighter curls.
-
On slightly damp hair, take a section of hair no wider than the roller.
-
Place the roller at the ends of the hair and carefully roll upwards towards the base of the wig cap, keeping the hair smooth and taut.
-
Secure the roller in place. Repeat until the entire wig is set.
-
Allow the wig to dry completely. Once dry, gently remove the rollers one by one. Use your fingers to style and arrange the curls into your desired look.
4. Pin Curls for Classic Vintage Waves
For a touch of old-Hollywood glamour, pin curls are the perfect technique to create soft, structured waves that are elegant and timeless.
-
Take a small, one-inch section of damp hair.
-
Wrap the section around your finger, starting from the tip and wrapping towards the root to create a neat coil.
-
Slide the coil off your finger and pin it flat against the wig cap using two bobby pins in a crisscross shape for security.
-
Repeat this process across the entire wig.
-
Once the wig is completely dry, carefully remove all the pins. You can gently brush through the curls with a soft bristle brush to transform them into soft, uniform vintage waves.
5. The Sock Bun for Sleek, Uniform Waves
This clever hack uses a simple sock or bun donut to create beautifully smooth and consistent waves with lots of body.
-
Lightly dampen the wig and gently gather all the hair into a high ponytail at the crown.
-
Take a clean sock with the toe cut off and roll it into a donut shape. Place it at the base of the ponytail.
-
Pull the ponytail through the donut. Spread the ends of the hair around the donut and begin tucking and rolling the donut down towards the base of the ponytail, gathering all the hair as you go.
-
Once you reach the base, you should have a perfect, neat bun. Let it dry completely overnight.
-
In the morning, carefully unroll the bun and release the ponytail to reveal large, smooth, and perfectly uniform waves.
