Yes, you absolutely can change the part on a wig. It is a common technique used to customize the look and style of your hairpiece.
Based on information available, the ability to change the part applies to different wig types:
- Part can be changed on both, synthetic and human hair pieces, however, the process is different.
This means whether you have a wig made from real human hair or synthetic fibers, adjusting the parting line is a possibility.
How Changing the Part Works (Generally)
The process for changing the part varies depending on the wig material and its construction (like a lace front or skin top).
- Human Hair Wigs: These are often more flexible. You can usually wet the hair, comb the new part into place, and allow it to air dry or use low heat to set it.
- Synthetic Wigs: Synthetic fibers have a memory. To change the part, you typically need to use controlled, low heat (like from a blow dryer or straightening iron set to a low temperature, if the wig is heat-friendly) to persuade the fibers into the new position. Always check if your synthetic wig is heat-friendly before applying any heat.
Tips for Changing Your Wig's Part
- Start Small: If you're new to this, try shifting the part just slightly first.
- Use the Right Tools: A rat-tail comb is essential for creating a clean, precise part.
- Be Patient: It might take a few attempts or some time for the fibers to fully adjust, especially with synthetic wigs.
- Low Heat is Key: If using heat on a heat-friendly synthetic or human hair wig, always use the lowest effective setting to avoid damaging the fibers.
- Secure the Wig: Ensure your wig is stable on a wig head or your head while you work on the part.
Changing the part allows for versatile styling, giving you more options to personalize your wig and achieve different looks.
