How do I straighten a curly wig or bring the curls back?

Detangling the hair before straightening is vital. You need to comb the hair smoothly and then slowly straighten it with your flat iron. When the hair was totally straightened, it will go back to curly if you wash it.

How to detangle your curly hair unit?
The Proper Way To Detangle The Curly Unit:

What you will need is rat-tail comb, spray bottle and hair conditioner
1. Separate your hair into sections
2. Grab each section in the middle and you want to smooth the bottom hair first by using the pointed end of the rat tail comb. DO NOT USE THE FRONT PART OF THE COMB.
3. Then you want to smooth the whole section from the root to the very end by using the pointed end of the comb. That way, the frizz would be easily detangled.
4. After the smooth job is done, don’t forget to fix it and spray your hair with the conditioner mist. Then there you have a beautiful puffy curly unit.

How do I get side sexy bangs?

Start off by parting the bang into 3-4 sections. Use the curling wand (about 32mm) to roll each section at medium heat and let the curls sit on your head for a few seconds before you release them.

Then, put all the sections together into one and brush them through 4-6 times. Fix the bang with your hand if necessary.

That’s it! Perfect Bangs!
We also highly suggest you apply heat protectant before you use the flat iron or curl wand to avoid any heat damage.
Easiest top knot bun tutorial

Tools you need: a paddle brush or a comb, bobby pins, and a hair tie.
1. Pull your hair back into a high ponytail as high on your head as you can make it. Make it as slick as possible, tying all the loose hairs in the elastic hair tie. If your hair is very thick or long, you should probably use two hair bands.
2. Use the bobby pins to secure the ear flaps.
3. Twist the hair into a circular shape around the elastic.
4. Secure the knot with hairpins. Begin from the base of the bun to keep it solidly in place. Then pin in any loose ends that won’t sit in the bun of their own accord.
