How long do you w...Well, it depends on preference. How long do you want your curly sets to last? For example, I had my shabbos sheitel (my freeda) curled before Rosh Hashana and it was still holding the curl by the time I took it to be washed for Pesach. <br /><br />If you get your sheitel washed every month you would probably want the curls to last for a month. Alternatively, some people really like the look of fallen curls, in which they turn into a slight wave. In such a situation it would be desired for the curls to last maybe a few days or a week and then be just wavy or bodied for the rest of the time. If the sheitel goes from curled to wavy then its probably a sheitel that likes being curled.<br /><br />If a sheitel goes from being curled to STICK straight on its own just from gravity, then the sheitel's hair wants to be straight and will probably not hold curl for a very long time. For example, my JAP wig. It air dries stick straight and if I curled it it would return to straight within a half day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641319225938875919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-75275246332288959742010-06-23T08:56:56.049-07:002010-06-23T08:56:56.049-07:00How long should I expect a sheitel that does hold ...How long should I expect a sheitel that does hold a curl to actually hold it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2159784629019959112.post-1418409224042225852010-06-22T09:17:30.631-07:002010-06-22T09:17:30.631-07:00For example, if you look at the review of my JAP f...For example, if you look at the review of my JAP fall, the wig hair is stick straight. http://askchavi.blogspot.com/2010/06/sheitel-review-jap-wigs-20-band-fall.html<br /><br />Some really straight hair does not hold a curl. I have had Asian friends lament this problem to me, as well as Caucasian friends. Usually hair that doesn't curl is very fine and naturally extremely straight. It has to do with the hair cuticle. Some hair of this type will stay with enough product (hair spray etc.) but I also know people who will use POUNDS of product and their hair still ends up straight by the end of the evening.<br /><br />Why not ask a sheitel macher when buying a wig to use a curling iron on a strand and see how it comes out.
