Yes, you can curl or straighten high quality wigs, but it depends on the wig’s material.
Key Rules by Material
100% human hair high quality wigs: Fully safe for curling/straightening. Use low-heat tools (≤180°C) and apply a heat protectant first to avoid cuticle damage. Style just like your natural hair—perm or dye is also feasible.
Heat-resistant synthetic high quality wigs: Only if labeled "heat-resistant" (usually withstands ≤150°C). Use tools with adjustable temperature and test a small section first to prevent melting.
Non-heat-resistant synthetic high quality wigs: Never use hot tools—fibers will melt, frizz, or lose shape permanently.
Styling Tips
Brush gently with high quality wigs-specific brush before styling to remove tangles.
For curls: Use foam rollers or flexi-rods (no heat) for longer-lasting, gentler results.
Avoid repeated high-heat use—even human hair will become dry or brittle over time.
