Thread: How do you straighten a wig?

Tweet

I bought a wig at the end of halloween last year, a long red one, but the hair is wavy and I need it to be straight....so I was wondering...does anyone out there knows how to straighten a halloween wig =)

found the answer to my own question....



incase anyone else would like to try it =)

Yeah thanks for the link. I'm sure users will find it helpful

I have read somewhere that you can only do it with certain types of wig though, so make sure you know what type you have, so you don't risk damaging it

I use the boil method to fix messy hair off my vintage My Little Ponies. I just use a regular conditioner but the silky + yakky works and Id wager any conditioner made for ethnic hair will work as well to tame the frizzy s on the wig.

I loved my little ponies growing up =)

I am assuming the wig I have is synthetic..and will hope for the best...I am just trying to figure out what I am going to put it on so that it hangs straight..

you can get the foam wig heads at pretty much any party store. Sometimes you can get them at sale prices but usually they are $5-6. At least then you can attach it to a "head" as far as attaching it to something, it has a hole in the bottom, so if you can make a stand for it, or put it on a tripod?

I ended up putting it on a large vase that I have...I think it turned out pretty good, but may later on try to straighten it even more....just did 3 pots of water...probably could use a couple more to get it pin straight..

Everytime my husband would go into the bathroom, he'd say 'That thing freaks me out, I feel like its going to move'...'I must say, you keep my life interesting'...lol...Thats gotta be a good thing right...lol

That's just awesome! How did we manage to figure things out before the internet?!?! Cause I don't recall the encyclopedia having answers like that!!

I would defintely be lost without the internet, school definitely doesnt teach you everything you need to know =) I get inspired from others creativity...lol

now if only I could be as creative!

Without the internet I would definitely not have thought you could make props from PVC pipe, glad I discovered that..large props are pretty expensive otherwise
