I'm not sure what shipping would cost to Germany, but it must be much less than 500EUR!!! Hi Sabine,

I saw this website about a month or two ago when I was researching how to take care of a synthetic wig. I was just about to get one, and wanted to make sure I was doing everything right. I had been buying sew-ins, but it just costed so much money to replace them all the time. So I thought, "How about I just buy a wig, sew it in, and redo the braids every few months for about a year?" I was hoping that my synthetic wig wouldn't frizz and I wouldn't have to come here. BUT, it did. I was taking good care of it, but it was just slightly frizzy because one day I was wearing it, and walked into my extrememly hot garage. And I also live in Arizona so it's always hot here. Yesterday night, I decided that I wanted to put foam rollers in my hair to see if I could get some of the waves back. I had bought these because I didn't want to use heat at all once my hair started growing and I could wear it naturally. I washed my hair first, and left the rollers in overnight.... I woke up this morning and wanted to kill myself. The ends were so frizzy; almost every single one of them. And to make matters worse, it didn't even curl they way I wanted to! :P I was to the point where I wanted to buy another one since it was only about $50. I was at my computer about to do it, and about to place my order. But something made me not want to do it completely. So I came back to your website and gave your method a try. It worked wonderfully! I got all of the supplies, but ended up just spraying strands of hair with toooons of water, and then I flat ironed it on my lowest level; mine also goes to 1, but the highest is 40. It worked and my wig looks great again. I'm also about to be 16 in August, just in case you were thinking I was an adult. But I'm VERY serious about my hair, whether it's fake or my real hair (but my real hair is not even shoulder length but it's really improving since I've been wearing fake hair for years.) But I'm the kind of person that'll freak out and say so many negative and bad things until I believe it's true. And I was thinking that I needed a new wig and thinking it looked terrible and thinking there was nothing I could do. But thanks to you, I don't have to worry anymore :) Thank you, Louise. I feel beautiful and confident again. - Imani. Louise, thank you sooooooooo much! I saw this website about a month or two ago when I was researching how to take care of a synthetic wig.

I kinda thought about the same thing, but I was always afraid the heat would ruin it even more. And I'm a poor girl, so I have no money. I gotta be a cheapy, haha! Anyway, thank you so much for this post, and I'll let you know if it works for me! (Btw, since this was posted back in 07, does this same treatment still work good for your wigs, or do you have a different way of doing them now?)

I actually tried this a few weeks ago when I had to wear "Titanic-era" clothing (and hair!) for a school activity. It worked almost TOO well! I thought I had to use the smallest possible roller, rolled the hair super-tightly... and ended up with poodle curls. Like Mrs. Roper only tighter. I re-did it with larger curlers though and it turned out beautifully. Thanks, Robbert!

Please keep in mind that this article was written in 2007, and at the time the only reliable website I could find charged that much. Plus shipping ($30+ because I live in Canada) and yes, it came to that. It's nearly 6 years later now and I have found a few better options, so on average now my wigs cost between $60 - $100 (plus shipping). The "big name" brands (Rene of Paris, Raquel Welch, etc) still charge up to 3 and 4 hundred. You’re right, of course, but when you live in a place that has no wig stores, you take what you can get.

Usually for drag. Anywho, just wanted to throw out there that if you part your hair into sections by tracks, (I usually use tracks of 5 or so) and roll them into the sponge rollers, that you can place it in your sink once finished, pore boiling water over it, and it locks in BEAUTIFUL tight curls, and removes frizz all together. May be a LITTLE more time consuming than this method, but I have taken life-less straight wigs and turned them into masterpieces. Im not kidding, the body you get from this method is FLAWLESS, Also, you can put your wig on a head, then on a two-litter bottle filled with water as a stand. Cheap alternative than buying a stand! :P But yeah anyways, you can put it on the stand and pour boiling water on it and it will turn even the curliest wig straight. 100% proven and effective. Just thought I would share some of my info and knowledge! -Robbert. Hey, just wanted to to throw this out there, yes I am a guy, yes I wear wigs. Usually for drag.

I am a proud owner of 12 wigs (I guess you could say I'm a collector.) I have never payed more than 90 for a wig. And some of my wigs are as much as 8 years old and i still wear them today. As long as you take good care of your wig your wig can last 4ever. I use hair sheen on my wigs it keeps it tangle free and shiny like brand new remy. also a blow dryer and a brush on a straight wig is wonderfull. Also helps a wig that has become puffy at the scalp wow!!! 200-400 for a synthetic wig???.. I am a proud owner of 12 wigs (I guess you could say I’m a collector.)
