Hi guys, I'm going to show you how to wash
and condition, and dry and comb your heat
defiant wig. Let us define heat defiant fiber. It
has so many names. Sometimes, people call it
heat defiant, heat friendly, smart heat. What
else might it be? Heat friendly, they'll say that
and truth of it is, unless you know the wigs
and you've been doing this as long as I have,
you are thinking, "Okay heat friendly. Does
that mean it's friendly to heat and I can just
do whatever?" A lot of girls from the South
have called me. One girl from Louisiana and
she said, "Heat defiant, does that mean it's
not going to be hot and I'm not going to sweat
under it?" Louisiana, I can understand.
Heat defiant, heat friendly, heat whatever,
only means that this fiber has been processed
so that you can heat, set it to another design
or another style. You can make it straight,
you can make it curly, you can make it
whatever. Heat, the one I have on. This was
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
basically kind of a straight wig and you pull it
behind your ears, looks like the PTA.
Well then this weekend, I use medium sized
rollers and put them all over and I wanted it
to be just kind of boom. You know pick it up
and go. That's what you can do with heat
defiant, that's the beauty of heat defiant. The
truth of it is, many and many more designers
are designing wigs in the heat defiant fiber so
we need to get used it. You need to learn how
to do it.
I have, my gosh, I guess I must have an hour's
worth of videos on the heat defiant. How to
set it? How you do all of that and I have got
this, now what? So go to my YouTube and
look under heat defiant and you'll find all
those. But when you get a heat defiant wig,
the one thing that I have found heat defiant
does is it frizzes a little bit more so than the
plain synthetic that we're used to. The big
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
news is with your heat defiant you must, you
must, you must use a comb. We usually if
we're on our job right, we include one of
these combs with it so that you can just slide
right through it and that's how you style and
comb your heat defiant wig. You can use that,
you can use a wide tooth comb or you can use
even a bigger comb and they all work
beautifully.
Now, if it's really, really frizzed badly, the
same products that we use for synthetic
because this is really heat defiant synthetic
wig is the whole term. I take the detangler.
Yes, here's the detangler again. Now, in the
other video I'll show you that you spritz on
this detangler, comb it, apply heat with the
roller that we have and the frizz comes right
out. I'm just going to tap a little bit with this
before I wash it and then I'm going to take
the comb, and remember we always start at
the bottom of where the fiber ends and you
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
work up into the body of the wig. That way,
you're not putting a lot of pressure on the
wig. All of a sudden, with that magic
detangler, I tell you it's the best thing in the
shop. All of a sudden, see how nice and
smooth it's getting big? Even just with the
detangler and it's even dirty.
Now I have combed it a little bit, most of the
frizz is gone. So now we are going to put it
into the water. It's the very same shampoo as
for synthetic and you're going to out maybe a
little bit bigger than a dime now because
we've got a short wig. If you have a really,
really long wig and heat defiant, like Raquel
Spotlight or, oh what would be another one of
hers that would be really long? Scene Stealer.
Then you might want to use maybe two of
those or two and a half because those are
really long wigs. Just a little bit more and add
a little bit of water in my make belief
bathroom, so that I can show you. Then we
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
do the same thing as the synthetic. Immerse
it, bring it back and forth, push, push, push.
Push, push, push. Push, push, push. Now it's
all under the water and the shampoo is there.
The water is already doing it, and I walk
away ten minutes. Ten minutes is over, I
come back. I pick it up, never ever remember,
ring, ring, ring, no, no, no. I'm going to
squeeze it, baby, squeeze it. Squeeze it,
Squeeze it. There you go. We're not roughing
it, we're not twisting it, we're not smooshing
it. We're just squeezing it gently.
Now I go to my cold water and I like this one
because it's got a high neck on it. When I'm at
home, I use my tub because the water power
is more forceful, especially for long ones
because then they can fall right into the tub.
Now we're going to rinse it off, just like we
did the other one for synthetic. This is it, this
is it. Then after we rinse it, I'm going to
squeeze it again. You can squeeze it on the
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
outside and the inside. Don't forget to rinse
the inside if your [inaudible 00:05:49]. Now I
turn it outside, right side out. I'm going to put
it on my towel and I'm going to roll it one
time, I'm just seeing this. I hope, I hope, I
hope. And then I am going to take it out.
Remember, we hold them upside down. Why?
Because we want all those fibers to fall away
from one another and each of them to get
their little drink. Again, the most important
thing, the conditioning.
Now we're going to re-coat this flat surface,
and it's going to make it tangle less. It's going
to give it moisture, it's not going to be dry. I
usually do about nine or ten with the
conditioner for a short wig. I know this
sounds silly, you might want to go outside
and do it because it does throw water. I want
you to hold it by the back and go woof, woof
and then it's aerated so all of the fibers have
got the conditioner on it. Now, I'm just going
www.WigsbyPattisPearls.com
to go outside. I'm going to lay it on a towel. I
can lay it on a towel. I can put it over a Scott
towel holder. It's perfect because it's not real
big and it won't stretch the fiber. Laying it
like this is probably the best. I lay it like this,
by morning this will be dry and in a couple of
hours, this will be dry. Then when it's dried,
just like the other one, this one is clean and
dry. Remember, comb, only comb with heat
defiant. Now this wig that I have done is a
little bit straight, you can see some motion
because it will go back to whatever style was
in this wig when you washed. This heat
defiance all the curling and wild. If I took it
off and wash it right now, when it dries, it
will stay like this until I heat set it again. I
hope you get that guys. We got to get up to
the times so we got to learn how to do this
heat defiant because it is the fiber of the day.
Have a great day. Bye.
