Putting a high degree of heat when blow-drying your human hair curly wig will destroy it. Thus, you need to set the temperature of your ironing tool to cool, which will not only create a style you want but also reduce the splitting of ends and frizzing.
As much as you set the temperatures too low, ensure that the time your hair is in contact with the ironing tool is minimal.

Flat Iron your hairpieces minimally.
Repeatedly ironing your hair bundles/unit sections is not the best way to go about straightening or curling your unit. Instead, ensure you iron each bunch once or as few times as needed to get your wig looking as desired. Constant repetition will only expose the hair to excess heat hence damage.
