The safe temperature for wigs made of kanekalon (a common wig fiber) is 70–85°C / 160–185°F.
The safe temperature for wigs made of kanekalon (a common wig fiber) is 70–85°C / 160–185°F. Heat-resistant fibers will take more heat, but you should always test the temperature on a strand first. If it says in the item description, „heat-resistant up to xx degrees“, what this means is often the temperature that will positively melt the fiber! It can take irreversible damage long before that.
