Setting wig

Setting wig

Equipment

·         Hair brush

·         Tail comb

·         Wig block

·         Rollers

·         Wig pins

·         Steamer

Method

1.       Firstly brush the wig and decide where you want your parting, I was using half my wig so I didn’t need a parting.

2.       I then decided what setting pattern I wanted my rollers in, which is the picture above.

3.       I wanted volume on the top then the bottom to come up as it was going into a chignon.

4.       Using the comb, I did each section, securing the roller with big wig pins that pushed into the wig block.

5.       Once all my rollers were in place, I needed to steam them to set them because the wig is nylon, you can’t use heat on it as it will burn.

6.       I left the wig to dry for 3-4 days so I knew it would be completely bone dry before I removed the rollers.  It is important to wait for the wig to dry so the curls don’t drop out.

I found it quite tricky to set the rollers as there were so many wispy hairs with a nylon wig.  But I kept at it and used my tail comb to help me.
