Once you have cleaned your wig system, the next step is to blow dry your hairpiece. Don't think that it is just a simple part of the process. In fact, it is very important in the whole hairpiece system maintenance routine. Once you do something to your wig at this stage, you could damage the base of your hair or cause something else terrible. If you know how to blow dry your hair system correctly, you will create the style you want, keep your hairpiece in good condition and ensure that it lasts longer without long-term damage. In this blog you will learn about some of the steps to take to dry your wig correctly.
Step 1: Pin your human hair to a wig head stand
You might say you don't have this item ready. Now, you have to remember that as soon as you purchase your wig, it is a necessity and it is worth the investment because you are going to have to deal with your hair by drying and styling it. No one wants to style it or dry it with very messy hair, which is really too bad.
Step 2: Use a towel
When you have washed your wig it still contains a lot of moisture and in order to get a dry hair system as soon as possible you should use a towel to absorb the excess moisture. For best results, you should try to choose a towel with excellent absorbency and make sure it is very soft, otherwise it will pull on your hair and have some bad consequences. Also, remember to press and squeeze out the moisture rather than rubbing. Once you apply too much pressure, you will definitely damage your wig.
Step 3: Use a hairdryer
Before using a hair dryer, place your wig on the wig head stand and wait a while for it to dry naturally. Next, you can apply a little hair care product, preferably an oil, to help reduce the damage caused by the heat of the hair dryer.
Now, let’s use the hairdryer! Set it to medium on full speed and blow dry your wig. Attention:you do not need to use any combs during this process, because a wet state is more likely to pull at your hair and cause it to fall out. You can use your fingers to gently tousle your hair.
If your wig base is a lace, mono or silk hair base, don't forget to blow dry the base. For skin or poly units you can skip this step. It is very important to blow dry the base of the hair system. Otherwise, when you put it on, it may smell unpleasant or its quality may be reduced.
You will feel the high speed and hot air when you blow dry your own hair, do not mix up your wig. It is very fragile, so your hairdryer should be used on low to medium speed as well as cool air throughout the process.
After your hair has dried thoroughly, apply a leave-in conditioner and any styling products to your hair. After all the products have been applied, you can style your hair as you wish
