OK I just tried again with a piece that had been cleaned (and tried to be dyed lol), I used the low setting on my waver and got the hair quite saturated and lightly towel blotted. It took the curl just fine and no melting :)

WaWa can and does melt at high temps. To get a good curl with this synth, it requires temps between 250-350F. Even the $20 curling irons can get over 400F.

If you're not sure what your iron heats up to, start at the lowest setting and work your way up. You'll find the perfect curling temp that way. :)

oh wow...I didnt know that the average curling iron got THAT hot. I didnt feel that my cheapy irons got hot enough to curl wawa well, so I bought new professional irons especially for the wawa, and even on the highest settings I never melted the wawa.
