How to steam a synthetic wig away from the face, relax flipped ends, flatten Permatease, and more 

I would love to see more videos on trimming bangs, adding waves, straightening the hair, thinning, and trimming the sides or back of wigs, etc. I would have enjoyed your "flop" too (on adding beach waves that you mentioned in another video) I can learn from those too ;) I tried shampooing a synthetic wig with a little fabric softener and didn't see much of a difference. I would like to see a video on how you wash your wigs and what products you use. Thanks so much for the steaming a wig video! Another note.. I agree with a few other people who commented. I appreciated that you didn't fast forward this video. It was also helpful to hear why you would return a wig. THANKS AGAIN!!

That’s a lot of help! And thank you for not speeding up the tutorial, as many do.

So informative. I wish I had seen this video before as it would have saved me a lot of time and energy fighting with fibers that wanted to fall forward. Thanks so very much. I’m so glad I found you!🥰

HUGE Thank You! I have three wigs that I paid a lot of money for and never worn. I could never figure out why the didn’t look like what the model was wearing, this is a game changer

I wear a bob and I needed this video for the exact reason you made it: to address the orientation of the fibers at the front of the face. I am glad I now have a solution to re-directing them away. Hoping I do as well as you! Thanks!

What an excellent video on steaming. I have to try this on my parts!

That was such a helpful video!! I don’t know why I’m only just now finding your reviews and tips, but thank you!

Thank you for sharing your tips. Great video!

Thank you so much Michelle. Your tutorials are invaluable!

This has been a great instructional video! Thank you!

Wonderful, thorough and useful tutorial. Thank you!!!

Fantastic tips! Very helpful.

I'm so happy! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I am new to wigs and not spending a lot on my wigs right now. I think I will be getting a steamer to help flatten the permatease and remove some flips in the front. This is a game changer, for sure.

Thank you so much for your helpful hints! I'm very new to the wig journey and have found your videos to be so very useful!!

Thank you so much! The most helpful video I've seen on steaming a wig. I like to cut bangs in mine, but they stick out crazy, lol. I'll have to try this!

Thank you. I learned a lot from just this video. Your real hair looks great too.

I'm new to wigs..this was so helpful..I was looking for a video to show steaming ...thanks

Extremely helpful!

Love the color.

Thanks Michele, just found the info on the side about the steamer. No need to write back. Great video! Xo

Thank you!!! So informative and helpful. I think I can tackle my girl now. 😊

Very helpful!! Thank you.

Very helpful. Thanks!

thank you Michelle, I learned alittle about steaming !

I just watched this video and it is awesome!!! I feel so much better knowing how I can get the fibers to stay out of my face and use the steam! Great job!!!

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing how to relax the flips on sides of a wig.

I just received my very first topper, and the bangs are crazy. Your video has helped me to decide to keep it and try to fix it, because I like pretty much everything else about it. Thank you so much!

This video was just what I needed.

So helpful!❤

Excellent video, thank you!

Excellent video, well done 👏

Just found you and enjoyed you and the information you shared. Thank you. 🤗

Newbie here! Tks for sharing this method with us 💖

Great job

Thank you, so helpful.

That’s very helpful! Thanks so much🌸

Very Helpful!! THANK YOU!!

Excellent!!! Thank you!

Excellent video. Thanks

Just what I needed to watch! I've struggled with, and done some damage to, several pieces trying to get rid of those tusks. Now I see what I was doing wrong and feel confident I can likely salvage some of them. Also the permatease correction was excellent. I never thought that could be so easy. Thank you for taking the time to instruct us. Your work is appreciated!

Oh, this is great! I have a Jamison that flips and falls in my face. I know now that I will return such wigs. In the meantime, I can use your methods for help. Thanks so much

Thank you. ❤

Thank you! Excellent.

Love it! Thanks!

Very helpful!

Very well done thank you.

Thanks for explaining why you would return a wig. I'm new to alternative hair and I've heard not to judge a piece out of the box. They attend to need some tweeking.

Great tutorial! Thank you Michele! No more elephant tusks 😂 I have the same steamer 👍

Fabulous! Thank you!

Excellent video, Michele! After watching your technique, I think maybe my attempts weren't as successful because I didn't apply enough steam and/or didn't let it cool enough. I have several wigs I'm going to work on again now thanks to your instruction.

🎉 I watch this when I’m steaming a new wig. My new Straight Up with a Twist really needed some steam 😉

Thank you .

Merci!!!

Awesome!

This is such an informative video. Very thorough and done with clear explanations and details. I'd like to ask which wig you are wearing in the top banner of your RU-vid page?

I can't wait to try steaming the top of my Sky. She is SO tall!! Great video. (I happen to like "tusks", though...lol)

That was a great tutorial about steaming wigs to alter the shape. I'm sure other wig wearers know the disappointment of ordering the same style of wig you've loved & thee new one is not a flattering shape or silhouette. I'm hoping to bravely try what you have taught us. 😮😊

So great. I have a topper that has too much hair falling forward I haven’t figured how to deal with. Sooo I actually brought it to a wig place and the plucked !? Some hair out but I saw no real diff and she mentioned steaming on my other topper w/permanent tease but didn’t do it. Disappointed as I used them before and the owner although so encouraging for hair loss just terrible at customizing. She hacked a $700 Jon Renault REAL hair topper! so I thought since only place around try someone diff. Very young. Anyway, you gave me confidence to give it a try. Hope the steamer you used is listed!

What kind of steamer are you using? Mine has died and I need to replace it. Thanks for all of your wonderful information. Xo

I appreciate your videos. I would love to see you trimming a topper. I am a long time wig wearer but not very skilled styling and cutting However, I prefer the toppers because of the comfort. Please help if possible. Thanks

Thanks again for this video on steaming. I just recently purchased a steamer and will be following your directions. I have a question regarding trimming the synthetic hair. Does it dull your scissors? I have very good sharp hair scissors that I use for cutting human hair so I don’t particularly want to use them if that is the case. Should I purchase a pair of scissors for using only on synthetic hair?

This was informative and important info & instructions for me! Thank you 😊

I like that wig?!!!!!

Learned lots from you, use steamer is a great ideal to work on the wig, I already order my from Amazon, thank you Where can buy the wig with scalp like the one you had?

Could you please do a video on cutting the back of the hair. Thank you. Can you please tell me the color of your Cameron? Pretty.

Do you ever use the plastic hot air brushes? Do you find steam is just easier? I’ve seen more and more reviews and guides using dry heat. What are ur thoughts on both?

This was so helpful! Thank you !!!! You look great! What is the color of that wig?

Great video ! What color are you wearing and did you shorten this Cameron wig ?

Great tutorial! I’m ready to work on some of my wigs. Can this be done to heat friendly wigs, as well? I may have missed a comment regarding them. Thank you!

Thank you! Great video. I’m a new wig wearer and the wig I purchased has a lot of flips at the bottom which I don’t care for. I will try the steam method but do you recommend a certain level of heat for the steamer? Mine has several heat levels so I am wondering which would be safest? The lowest, medium heat or highest?

I’m gonna try this! I bought JR Aria and I’m having a hard time getting the part I want to stick and one side is flopping in my face a lot. How often do you need to do this?

Can you steam if there is dried hairspray on the wig or must the wig be clean first?

What are you wearing during the video? It looks so very natural pulled back, not bulky at all. Sorry if already asked & answered in comments. I skimmed & didn't see it. Thanks!

Is that the hairuwear steamer please?

Hi Michele, do you think I could straighten my Soft & Subtle wig with steam? It's a bit curlier than I'd like. Thanks so much!

Do you have a link to the steamer you recommend? Thanks

Is there a certain temperature that you use on the steamer or is it only one temp?

Can you please confirm that steam CAN be used on non heat resistant synthetic wigs?

I see you and I choose the same kind of browns- a golden brown with golden blonde highlights (NOT ASH!). I'm struggling finding this color in the Esthetica line. Any ideas? I just ordered Caramel Kiss but so far i've returned about 3 others that list the description as what I want but when it arrives its NOTHING like the description. The color I'm after is similar to Jennifer Anniston"s hair color in Friends...GOLDEN BROWN

Thank you so much, can't wait to try🩷🩵

Bought my first wig (jon renau drew in caramel ribbon) and am having a wonky time getting it to look the way I’d like. But what is permatease??

You may have just saved a very expensive synthetic wig with a crazy top layer of shorter curls on a long, straight, shoulder-length bob. Someone did not assemble this correctly! I am going to try this steaming technique.

Hello Michelle, i have a problem with my hair pieces(synthetic) , some stylists insist on putting a bend in the top and front and i have staight hair...so im always fighting that bend...my latsest guy ordered my piece straight and wahla!! perfect .....now im going to get a cut in on a new piece (different company} but it has a bend ...no cut in at all yet ...what do i tell them? cut first then steam or steam staight then cut ..opinion? ps this is a mans synthetic system...lately i feel like i cant win. my great guy who ordered my pieces couldnt get the right color or grays ....so i went to a place where the color matched but when i showed the woman how i like my hair on the longer size ...she cut it way too short, and did her whole idea we tried adding more hair and i just hate this system....i need your opinion on the straightning...im going back nect week and getting a woman who knew it was cut too short///PLEASE RESPOND ...THANKS JIM!!!!

Is it safe to steam a wig that has product in it? (Hairspray, conditioner, etc.) I'd think not, but I've never heard/read any mention of it. Just curious...

My 1st wig is a Cameron, so I've watched this many times! But no matter what I do, nothing stays put. The hair on the right side of the part won't stay back and out of my face, and I've steamed that area (in layers) like 10 times already. You made it look so easy! Any tips/ideas? I'm a total newbie. p.s. My new steamer doesn't leave water droplets on the wig; maybe it's too wimpy?

Is it okay to use a cool steam from an air humidifier to style them?

If I have changed the style of my wig with steam, is it forever or does it fall back into its original shape after washing?

What Brand steamer should I buy? Where Amazon?

Should I wash my wig first before steaming ?

how do you keep the wig on the manaquin still?

Do you find that steam isn’t as good for HD wigs?

How can I make my bob wigs lay flatter to my back of my neck instead of sticking out & looking bunched up?

Does this work on heat friendly?

Thanks for this video! I just got my Cameron and I find her very difficult to wear straight out of the box. I was just wondering how to male her wearable..?

Does anyone know how to find stylists who work on wigs? I need mine cut ! I also need to pluck the hairline but I guess I'm going to have to do it myself which is scary!! I wish I could find a stylist who could do ALL that!! Any suggestions? I live by Aurora IL

When I watch wig tutorials the synthetic wigs that you all speak of are very helpful tips however the synthetic wigs are not full synthetic wigs. I would respectfully ask that you would please specify that big point.

Using steam on wigs that are not heat friendly is ok then? T hank you

Do you have a wig on right now?

Your videos are absolutely great but I highly recommend better sound (a mic) as it is nowhere near loud enough for all listeners (and I don't have hearing issues). I have my volume on full and it's frustrating trying to listen so it makes me want to click off the video which is a shame.
