HELP! I tried to stile my syntic wig on the bangs and after combing it out it went completely frizzy and I can't get it straight again . Also I went all out on this wig and spent 200$+ on it so I'm a little leery about doing to much more to it but would love any suggestions

Synthetic wigs are hard to style. I am not an expert. I wash and dry mine after shaking some of the H2O out. I have also gotten trims on different wigs but a stylist so that they work better with my head.

Perhaps you could wet things down, put in some conditioner and use some rollers to get things under control.

Heat is dangerous and you can end up making things worse but a very low temperature iron might help. I don't know what you did at first to cause the problem. I just brush mine and toss them in the drawer till the next day.

Amazingly they are still fine and i even get compliments on the style and color from folks who have no clue that i shave my head.

Best of luck with it. Wish there was a magic fix.

Hugs,

Charlie

I would invest in natural hair wigs and don't modify them. There are many styles available so I would expect that you can find one that suits you. I have ruined a few wigs myself and I ultimately have to accept the loss.

I hope you can ressurect your wig.

Love

I would take it to a wig shop and see what they can do. Otherwise, I think Charlie's idea is worth a try. Just wash it again and let it dry normally. Good luck!

There are many Good Videos on YOU TUBE about caring for Synthetic Wigs.

Synthetic Wigs are generally easier to care for and hold their shape after washing.

I personally wear a 100% Human Hair Wig.

Costs more, but looks natural.

I wash and care for it myself using regular hair shampoo and conditioner.

Hugs,

Carla

      Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.   I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it: "Moon phase rainbow" V-Neck T-Shirt by secretmagic | Redbubble

      Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.

      I'm lucky. I have both. For therapists, the Psychology Today is a good source, as is the resource section here at TP.  BOTH are soi vital.

      Good morning!   Finally got my ears pierced, so up even earlier worrying about how I slept on them last night.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.
