Styling a glueless curly wig is not as difficult as some people think. In reality, with the correct products and guidelines, you can simply style your wavy false hair.

We know how this is a key – having a great-looking hairpiece that is also easy to style.

That is why our wavy hairpieces are made with high-quality materials and texture to ensure they are not only stunning but also quick to style and care for.

The number of women in the US and GB describe their hair type as curly and/or wavy are as follows:
Less than one in five women in the US (17%) and one in ten women in GB (10%) distinguish their hair type as curly.
A considerably bigger proportion of women in both nations determine their hair as wavy (US, 31%; GB, 25%).

As a result, you are going to spend less time worrying about your hair and more time admiring your wonderful new look.

Remember that appropriate care and maintenance are vital for good-looking false hair. So, when not in use, take your time to clean, untangle, and properly store your false hair.

Let’s dive right into it:

Wet Styling

Wet style is frequently known as the best option for generating gorgeous curls without excessive volume.

The moist appearance helps in improving the gloss, health, and flexibility of the hair.

You can bid farewell to rough and knotted hair with this timely styling technique that is appropriate for even novices.

One fast way to get this effect is to dampen the false hair with water using a spray bottle.

Then, evenly distribute a small quantity of leave-in conditioner or hair gel into the hair strands to seal the moisturization.

Wrap a little portion of hair over your finger to promote the curl pattern. Allow the hair to bounce into a natural curl by gently releasing it.

Interesting Fact:
Curly hair falls under Type 3. Further, Type 3 breaks down into the following:
3A – loose curls.3B – tight, corkscrew curls

Repeat this technique for each portion, modifying each section to get the desired curl size. Finally, spray some oil to add a glossy finish.

Cut Bangs

The bang hairstyle is a classic fashion trend that has lasted over time.

Bangs suit your facial form, draw attention to your facial characteristics, and soften your overall look. Here are some basic ways to cut bangs on your wavy hairpiece:

Step 1: For the layers, cut down on a diagonal.
Step 2: For the bangs, cut a triangular part in the front. Twist the hair strand you choose, then trim it to brow length.
Step 3: Straighten the wig out with a flat straightener or a hot comb.

Extra Tips: For novices, start with longer hair and cut until you get the desired style. You can also wear your hairpiece or put it on the stand when you trim the bangs.

Use Hair Accessories

Headbands, scarves, and scrunchies are all beautiful options for styling your postiche without requiring lots of processes and manipulations.

Hair accessories let you show your personalized style and preferences.

Accessories can be chosen to represent who you are, complement your attire, or accentuate certain qualities of your curly false hair.

Unlike dying or heat styling, utilizing hair accessories has no danger of damaging the curly hair strands. This makes it a safe solution for protecting the quality of your hairpiece.

Use a Flat Iron for Greater Volume

If you have wavy hair or false hair, you have the option of using heat styling to get the desired degree of volume.

Flat irons are an excellent heat-styling tool for adding volume to your false hair without harming it.

When compared to blow dryers, flat irons provide more accurate temperature control and, when used correctly, are an excellent volumizing tool.

Statistics:
More than a fourth of curly and wavy-haired women in the US use leave-in conditioner regularly. Whereas, dry shampoo (14%), hair crème (10%), and hair masks (10%) round out the top ten hair styling products.

They give your hairpiece more fullness and lift, making this method simple.

Before you begin, ensure that the flat iron is set to the lowest heat setting and used for only a few seconds.

Don’t overdo heat styling, and take the necessary measures (heat protectant products, avoiding severe heat) to achieve beautiful results and an undamaged curly wig!

The Curl-Enhancing Techniques

After you’ve treated and primed your hairpiece, it’s time to produce those lovely curls. You can try this technique out:

Using Flexi Rods or Curlers: Consider using flexi rods or classic curlers for defined, consistent curls.
Take a section of your hair and wrap it around the rod or roller, then fasten it. Allow it to air dry or, if you’re in a hurry, use a diffuser or heater.

Twist-Outs: Separate it into parts, twist each portion, and set it. When you take the twists out, you’ll have those desired voluminous curls.

Finger Coiling: As stated earlier, to produce curls, swirl little portions of hair around your finger. It’s an excellent method for achieving natural-looking, textured curls.
