Be VERY careful with heat around synthetic hair. I used a "cool touch" curling iron and frazzled the wig. I pin the wig/topper to a cork wig head and spray it with water to make it damp. I use plastic curlers to get the style I want, then use a hair dryer on low heat to dry the hair from a short distance. Touch the hair to make certain it is not too hot. Allow it to cool completely before moving to the next spot. When I am getting ready to go, I do touch-ups with the same process... dampen, curl, dry, and spray just where needed. Sometimes the curl goes the wrong way and needs to be adjusted. The nice thing about synthetic is that once you have styled it, it tries to keep that style so only minor adjustments are needed for daily wear. Experiment with it. Have fun finding what you like.
