When using heat on human hair wigs, the temperature setting on the styling tool should be

• A. Low
• B. High
• C. Medium
• D. Very High

Answer: (A)

Using a low heat setting is safest when styling human hair wigs. Even though the hair is real, high heat can damage the cuticle, dry out the fibers, and shorten the wig’s lifespan. A low temperature minimizes these risks while still allowing you to shape the wig with a heat-protectant and careful passes. Higher heat increases the chances of scorching, frizz, and lasting damage, so it’s best to avoid it as a default. If more style is needed, you can increase the heat gradually, but always start low and proceed with caution.
