If you’ve ever pulled a wig out of storage only to find it tangled or frizzy, you’re not alone. Many wig owners wonder how to straighten wigs without ruining their style. The truth is, with the right tools and a little care, you can transform your wig into a sleek, bone straight look that feels brand new. In this guide, Govihair walks you through each safe step, shares expert tips for long-lasting shine, and introduces our premium wig collection loved worldwide
Tools You’ll Need to Straighten Wig
Before you begin, prepare these essential tools:
- Flat iron (hair straightener)
- Wide-tooth comb
- Hair Clips
- Wig stand or mannequin head
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Straighten Wig Right Way
Secure the Wig Properly
Think of your wig like a canvas before you start painting. To get the best result, you need a stable base. Place your wig firmly on a mannequin head or wig stand, then secure it with pins or clips. This way, the wig won’t shift around while you’re working – just like how a hairstylist secures a client before styling. A stable setup not only makes straightening easier but also prevents unnecessary tugging that could damage the wig.
Detangle Before Straightening
Never rush into heat styling. Use a wide-tooth comb to softly detangle the wig before styling. Begin at the ends, slowly working your way up toward the mid-lengths and roots. This method avoids pulling and breakage, especially important if you’re working with human hair wigs. Imagine you’re “waking the hair up” from its rest – each stroke prepares it for the smooth, sleek transformation ahead.
Set Flat Iron Temperature
Not all wigs are created equal, so heat control is key. For human hair wigs, adjust your flat iron to a medium heat, ideally 150-180°C (300-350°F). If it’s synthetic, always start lower and test a small hidden section first. Think of this as a dress rehearsal: by testing on a small piece, you’ll know exactly how the wig reacts before committing to the entire look. This small step protects your investment and ensures long-lasting beauty.
Straighten Section by Section
Patience pays off. Separate the wig into smaller, easy-to-handle sections and secure the rest with clips. Take one section at a time, place the flat iron at the roots, and slowly glide it down to the ends in a smooth, even motion. Avoid rushing – one steady pass is better than multiple quick ones that can stress the fibers. With each section, you’ll see the wig gradually transform from frizz or waves into a sleek, bone-straight finish.
Let the Wig Cool & Finalize Look
Just like freshly baked bread needs time to cool before slicing, your wig needs time to “set.” Once you’ve finished straightening, allow the hair to cool completely. This helps the strands lock into their new, straight shape. After cooling, gently comb through the wig to blend the sections together and reveal a smooth, polished result. A light touch of serum or oil can be added for extra shine and silkiness.
Important Note: Never attempt to straighten a wig while it’s wet. Applying heat to damp hair can cause irreversible damage – whether it’s frizz, melting (in the case of synthetic wigs), or even weakening the cuticles of human hair wigs. Always make sure your wig is fully dry before styling.

Tips for Straightening Different Wig Types
Human Hair Wigs
Owning a human hair wig feels almost the same as managing your natural hair. These wigs are heat-friendly, dyeable, and even bleach-safe (they can be lifted to color #613). That means you have endless styling freedom, from silky bone straight to vibrant custom colors.
But freedom comes with responsibility. Always apply a heat protection spray before using a flat iron. Think of it as sunscreen for your wig – it shields the strands from heat damage and keeps them smooth for longer. With proper care, your human hair wig can stay soft, sleek, and beautiful for years.
Synthetic Wigs
Synthetic wigs are a bit more delicate, which means they need a different approach. Standard flat irons can easily damage them, so only use a low-heat straightener that’s specifically labeled “synthetic-friendly.” Test on a small strand first to make sure the fibers can handle the heat.
If you want an even gentler method, try the hot water technique:
- Heat water until it’s just below boiling.
- Pour it carefully over the wig (secured on a stand).
- Let it air dry naturally.
This method helps relax waves and straighten fibers without direct heat. While synthetic wigs may not be as versatile as human hair, with the right care, they can still give you that polished, straight look you’re aiming for.
