@Julie Sprik I own over 20 wigs. 12 of them are Toni Brattin. My absolute faves are the Toni brattin heat friendly (make sure they are heat friendly) Hair looks and feels so real and is NOT over shiny..and color is gorgeous (I prefer the light blonde with brown roots). I walked int ot he bank last week and the manager just kept staring and finally said..WOW, I love your hair, the color is amazing. I hear this all the time now:) Try one, you will not regret it

Taz. You should know an ad for Kammi Wigs (I think that's right) just came up in the middle of your review. The video is you and they're selling wigs under $30.00. I wanted to tell you so you can try and get it pulled. This has to be such a frustration for you. But having a rip off company advertisement during your review is over the top. KZitem should do better.

This is helpful, Taz. I have all those products except the TDI. I only have a handful of heat-defiant wigs. My favorite is Elizabeth and I handle her like egg shells. She seems to take the Simply Styling well. I have so many wigs that I haven't had to wash her yet, but when I do, I will put that silicone on first as you suggest. The few I have washed (mostly to try to tame them out of the box), I just wash in unscented fabric softener -- no detergent. The only other thing I could add is that I think the looped brushes are the gentlest and I use only those for the few wigs that I brush, mostly the straight styles like Elizabeth, Straight Up, Cameron, Kristi, etc. I only use the JR comb on the wavy ones. Also, I just don't change the style at all. That is part of what we pay for!

Brilliant content, Taz. Regular synthetic and heat-friendly fibres steaming is the best maintenance for extending the life of fibre and ameliorating friction damage; use steam after each wear. Steam is where it's at - limit washing, I agree and try and limit the use of leave-in conditioners as these do build up and leave a residue on the fibre which with time can have the reverse effect on the fibres through build-up and that necessitates washing. Something you want to avoid as much as practicable. So - steam is the way to go, wide-tooth comb and finger untangling after each wear then hit it with steam. I've had units last up to six to 12-months using this method.

Thank you for your tips. My own wig shop person told me that soaking in fabric softener was the worst thing I could do (I had gotten that tip from another KZitem channel and thought it made sense and let her know that I tried it). She said the only thing I should be washing the wig in is regular shampoo. However, my very expensive wig has dried frizzy ends and I've only had it since Christmas. I wear my wig daily and I'm so disappointed and am not sure what to believe. Her suggestion was to use a curling iron on it. Does this sound correct? Help!

I now only use shampoo designed for synthetic wigs and wash sparingly to preserve fibers. Fabric softener soaks have never harmed any of my wigs, but I am getting best results with shampoo and conditioner. You might try a spritz of Simply Stylin Light Silk Silicon Spray on the ends after detangling, etc.. and after washing to help preserve fibers. kzitem.info/news/bejne/l3drk2iLpqqgjaA Hope this helps!

Hi Taz, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I bought 2 raquel-welch-wigs Heat resistant and 100 % hand tied. Straight up with a twist and Upstage. Bought them second hand for $80 and $100 but look like new. So I felt very lucky. No tangles, no frizzy. They were only a little bit dull and dry looking. I gave them a mist of Salon Pro African Essence Control Wig Spray 3-1. Worked great! It revived the color and they now look like brand new. I have also a Noriko wig, I treat my wigs as if they are gold. 😊 Also looked at a video of John Renau, they say Heat resistant wigs NEEDS HEAT after a while. Therefore the steaming works great I think on Heat resistant fibers. 👍

Rinse and fill sink with warm tap water add a cap full of unscented fabric soft Downey Soak over night. That coats and softens fibre like silk. The smell of scented is much too strong of lingering odor . Back in the 1980s I was working out of London bringing Monofilament hair extensions to USA. Back then the fabric softener was all we had before wig products .Also can be used own your natural hair and scalp with no worry. Hope this may help someone.. stay beautiful

Right on the ironing board with heat on low. They didn't make flat irons back then. Yes, it made our hair so shiny and silky and straight as was the style.... and was so cheap. We all smelled like it! LOL Now, here I am at 70 with thinning hair and using it again on wigs! LOLOLOL

Funny, I see no reason to buy heat friendly except for special occasions. So I have two of these. I hardly ever wear them but it's nice that they're there when I need them. When you say you really have no choice because you like the style, I must be in the minority. There are so many choices of wigs and colors these days that I can always find something in regular synthetic that's fabulous. I don't like the lack of flexibility with these. The first thing I do when I see a wig review is hope that right up front they'll say what kind of fiber. I think until they improve on the durability women with more limited budgets are going to by regular synthetic mostly. Besides you're buying it for a certain Style so the fact that you need to apply heat to them changes things up and you can never get it back. I am so in the minority apparently.

I like the sure thing that you get with synthetic and the convenience. If I thought my califia would last as long if I did all these techniques I would repeat buying another heat friendly.

I searched out this video exclusively because I'm sure having trouble w/my Upstages. The latest ones I purchased became frizzy after just a few wearings. Very disappointing ☹ I'm trying the steam method this afternoon. Thank you!

Oh Taz, how can I put my favourite style in a ponytail? I can't keep my hands of HD fibers! 😍 Honestly, I constantly touch the hair! Anyway, how long do you leave the silicone spray on a wig before washeng her? And also, will steaming not make curls straight? Many thanks!!!

Steaming may straighten curls a bit, but my piece was fairly straight at the nape before steaming:-) I spray with silicon spray, wait a minute and wash as normal. Hope this helps! XOXO

I bought my first wig online and hasn't arrived yet, but I watched a video about heat resistant wigs should never be styled with ceramic or metal , so they advised air stylers I think that is a never ending spending money, could you tell your opinion please?

Wow, Taz, great info and I'm three years late on this one but I just got the notification on my phone. Haha. Anyway, 15 years of wearing wigs, I've learned how to manipulate my wigs to make them last longer than a year. One of the reasons why I like HF wigs is that you can open the oven door and not have fried hair. I mean not to the point of sticking your head in the oven, that is. Also, even short wigs with 3 to 3.5" nape can tangle so i use the Jon Renau conditioner on mine. But variety is the spice of life and you need to give your wigs a break and switch around now and then but not everyone is fortunate in having an abundance of wigs on hand. Even so, your steps in caring for HF plus regular synthetics are spot on! I love my Jon Renau steamer and use it a lot. Thanks for the great info!

Thank you, Taz! I tried this on a wig that I was thinking of throwing out and it looks marvelous! I'll get a little more time with it. I have learned so much from you and I've ordered some of my favorite wigs due to your very helpful reviews. Now, another question...I like the style of the Violet by Estetica but want to move to a better-made wig like Gabor or Rachel Welch, etc. Do you have a suggestions? I'm only 4'11" so I have to be careful about too much volume but love those loose curls.
