Heat friendly synthetic wigs and hair toppers (also called heat resistant, heat defiant or HD wigs) are made with a special synthetic fiber that can be styled with curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers at low temperatures. With the right care, a heat friendly wig keeps its softness, shine and style for many months. This guide covers how to wash, dry and heat style any heat friendly wig or topper, plus brand-specific tips for Jon Renau, Raquel Welch, Gabor and Belle Tress.
Heat friendly fiber is set by heat and locked in place as it cools. Work in small sections, use a heat protectant, and always let each section cool completely before touching it.
Professional styling tools with digital temperature settings make it easier to stay within a safe range.
All synthetic fibers can frizz and tangle over time, especially at the nape and on longer styles. Correct frizz early to prevent permanent damage: use a detangling spray and wide tooth comb daily, smooth frizzy ends with a flat iron on low heat, or refresh the fiber with steam. See How to Steam a Heat-Friendly Wig or Hair Piece Safely. Belle Tress does not recommend steaming its fiber, so use a low-heat flat iron instead.
Each brand's heat friendly fiber is slightly different. Follow the guide for your brand for exact temperatures and recommended products.
Jon Renau HD fiber can withstand heat tools up to 350°F, but Jon Renau recommends styling at 270°F to 280°F to preserve the fiber. Wash every 6 to 8 wears with Jon Renau Synthetic Shampoo and finish with Jon Renau Leave-In Conditioning Spray (3 to 5 pumps, away from the base). For daily detangling, use HD Smooth Detangling Spray with a wide tooth comb, focusing on the bottom half of the wig; HD Smooth also comes in a 2 oz. travel size. Before curling or flat ironing, apply Heat Treat Thermal Spray (1 to 2 pumps per section). To add texture and definition, work a small amount of Piece Out Contour Fiber Crème through the hair with your fingertips. Shop Jon Renau hair care products.
Tru2Life fiber can be styled with heat tools up to 350°F. See the Wig Care and Styling Guide for Tru2Life Heat-Friendly Fibers.
Kanekalon Excelle fiber can be styled on low to medium heat, up to 350°F. See the Kanekalon Excelle Wig Care Guide.
Belle Tress recommends styling between 250°F and 300°F and never exceeding 300°F. Do not use steamers on Belle Tress fiber. See the Belle Tress Wig Care Instructions and Styling Guide.
You'll need a shampoo and conditioner made for synthetic fiber, a detangling spray, a heat protectant, a wide tooth comb and a wig stand. Shop wig care products for synthetic hair or browse all wig care products.
Regular synthetic wigs hold their style permanently and should never be used with hot tools, because heat will melt or frizz the fiber. Heat friendly wigs use a fiber that can be restyled with low heat, so you can curl, straighten or change your look, though they may need a little more daily care.
Yes, as long as you can control the temperature. Tools with a digital temperature setting are best so you can stay around 270°F to 280°F and never go above your wig's maximum.
Frizz is usually caused by friction against clothing and by heat damage. Detangle daily, reduce friction at the nape, and smooth frizz early with a low-heat flat iron or steam before it becomes permanent.
With regular wear and good care, most heat friendly wigs last about 4 to 6 months. Rotating between wigs and limiting heat styling can help yours last longer.
It's best not to. Regular shampoos can dry out synthetic fiber. Use a shampoo and conditioner made specifically for synthetic or heat friendly hair.

"Absolutely stunning! I ordered Tabu in Rosewood-R. This has been one of the best pieces I’ve ordered. The density is perfect, the length is perfect, and Ellen Wille caps are so comfortable! I love the face framing highlights on this one."
"After watching some videos, I had to have Tabu. Right out of the box I was in love. A little finger styling to make the style “big” and a bit messy looking. Messy in a good way. I wore it a few hours running errands and the second night I wore her out to dinner (approx 2 h of rs7"
"My first wig. It is beautiful. I am so happy with my purchase that I bought another one within 2 weeks. Great product. I feel beautiful and love it!!"
"I was very excited to get this wig because the new colors are so beautiful, and this particular style looks very becoming on the models. I also own quite a lot of Ellen Wille wigs, because, for me, the fit is just right. I opened the box, and Boom! Gigantic amounts of permatease were staring at me! Yuck! I could have just cried! One of the things that I live about my Ellen Wille wigs is that if they use permatease, it is very little, and not noticeable. I just can’t imagine going out in public, and knowing that the line of permatease is so obvious down the part. The rest of the wig is very pretty, and lightweight. But for me the permatease is a deal breaker. One other thing that I will mention, and it may be because of the current pandemic crisis: The wig iarrived in a very messy state. There is no net, or tissue for support. I realize thathe style is messy, and beachy- however, I have not had the experience of receiving a wig that appears as if it were just popped into a box, with no care given. That would not have bothered me enough to return it though."
"I purchased this wig in Rose blonde first and I loved it. It looks very natural on. The front lace that goes ear to ear makes it easy to pull off the face. I am able to wear it in a high ponytail with a little adjustment which I love for work. They are light and breathable which makes it easy to wear in the heat. I actually forget I'm wearing a wig! In fact, I loved it so much that I bought a second one in Rosewood. I did have a little problem with my second order. The wig felt heavy and greasy like someone had put product in it. I contacted customer service and they immediately sent me a new one and the return department sent an email at the same time with a shipping label. As soon as the new one came in I knew there must have been a flaw with the second one I purchased because the replacement was perfect just like the first. Customer service is fantastic. I will definitely continue to purchase from here. The Rosewood looks very real as well. I get so many compliments on both when I wear them. Plus I feel so confident wearing it. I have hormonal hair loss and these two wigs make me feel great. I found a review for these on youtube by twigs. Thank you for bring my confidence back and making me feel beautiful again."
"Out of the box, the fibers didn’t feel that impressive. I have cheap wigs that seem nicer and I have other Ellen Wille wigs that feel better but I liked the “messy” full and lifted look. After wearing it twice, each time for about two hours, it tangled badly. I was wearing a tank top so it shouldn’t have caused too much friction. I have other heat friendly wigs that are no problem but this one was difficult to comb. After the second wear, I spent more than an hour carefully trying to get little tangles out using tangle spray. I could see the curls disappearing. Afterwards she was just a wavy style. Having used so much tangle spray I decided she needed to be washed. I hoped that would bring the curls back but nope, now she’s just an odd wavy “bad hair day” style that doesn’t really look good. I tried to be careful combing her but it seems the permatease isn’t really going to do its thing anymore. The big messy look was what I thought was really cute but that is definitely gone. I’ve never curled any of my wigs but it looks like this one will need it but I don’t know how to get the lift back. I remember one of the videos mentioned she tangled easily but I never expected this. I huge disappointment for a wig at this price point."
"Hello this is a beautiful piece but only if they would have sent it in the correct color. Kind regards, Nina"

"I received this wig in Rosewood and it's gorgeous!"
"I like this wig but I'm a little on the fence about it also. The color is very vibrant and I was expecting that, somewhat, but in person it was much more so. Some people love it some people say it's wrong color for me my. The cap fits well for an average/large head size The fibers are your typical HD fibers that tangle a little bit more than regular fibers. I wish they offered more standard colors in this rather than the high-fashion colors that they do. The style is adorable."
