Which TYME Iron Is Right for You?
All of them are professional hot tools designed by a licensed hairstylist, and all of them are dual voltage. The only real question is what you want your hair to do — bouncy curls, big volume, or curls and a straightener in one tool.

Using a Curling Iron on a Human Hair Topper or Wig
Every Lauren Ashtyn piece is 100% real human hair, so heat styling is safe when you do it this way.
- Start dry and protectedMist a heat protectant through the mid-lengths and ends. Never heat-style a piece while it is damp.
- Use the lowest heat that worksBegin at 300°F and only go higher if the curl will not hold. Lower heat protects the cuticle and makes the piece last longer.
- Stay away from the baseKeep the iron off the lace, the base and the clips. Work from a few inches down through the ends.
- Let it cool before you brushCurls set as they cool. Let the section drop, then break it up with your fingers or a soft brush.
The Lauren Ashtyn Collection
TYME Curling Irons and Styling Tools for Toppers, Wigs and Your Own Hair
Because every Lauren Ashtyn piece is 100% real human hair, you can curl, wave and straighten it exactly like your own. These are the irons we use to do it. Designed by a professional hairstylist, each one heats fast, holds a steady temperature and is gentle enough to use on a hand-tied topper or wig when you keep the heat away from the base and clips.
The short answer
Pick by the curl you want. The TYME 1.25" Curling Iron ($150, Cashmere or Caviar) makes loose bouncy curls and soft waves and suits the widest range of hair lengths. The TYME 2" Curling Iron ($150) makes bigger, more voluminous curls. The TYME Iron Air ($129, Cashmere) sets curls instantly with cool-air vents. The Original TYME Iron Pro ($139, Champagne or Cashmere) both curls and straightens with titanium plates, heats in 55 seconds and runs 300–400°F. All are dual voltage, and an EU version ($139, Champagne) ships with a Type C plug and removable Type G adapter.
Which barrel
The 1.25" barrel is the versatile one — loose curls, soft waves and polished blowout styles, and it works on more hair lengths. Choose the 2" when you want big, high-volume curls.
Curl and straighten in one
The Original TYME Iron Pro creates 5+ curl styles and straightens with the same tool. Titanium plates spread heat evenly, it is ready in 55 seconds, and the temperature is adjustable from 300° to 400°F.
Safe on human hair pieces
Always use a heat protectant, start at the lowest temperature that works, and keep the iron away from the base and clips of a topper or wig. The 1.25" iron shuts off automatically after 30 minutes of non-use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which TYME barrel should I choose, the 1.25" or the 2"?
Choose the 1.25" if you want loose, bouncy curls, soft waves or a polished blowout look — it is the more versatile size and works across more hair lengths. Choose the 2" when you want big, high-volume curls. Both are $150 and both come in Cashmere and Caviar.
Can I use a curling iron on a human hair topper or wig?
Yes. Every Lauren Ashtyn piece is 100% real human hair, so it curls and straightens exactly like your own. Always use a heat protectant, start at the lowest temperature that gives you the result you want, and keep the iron away from the base and the clips.
What is the Original TYME Iron Pro and how is it different?
The Iron Pro is a 2-in-1: it creates 5+ curl styles and straightens with the same tool. It has titanium plates that spread heat evenly, heats up in 55 seconds, runs from 300° to 400°F, and is dual voltage. It is $139 in Champagne or Cashmere.
What does the TYME Iron Air do differently?
The Iron Air has cool-air vents that set your curls in place instantly rather than waiting for them to cool. It curls and straightens with ceramic plates, adjusts from 280° to 430°F, and is dual voltage. It comes in Cashmere and is $129.
What temperature should I use?
The 1.25" iron has four settings — 300°, 350°, 375° and 400°F — and the Iron Pro adjusts from 300° to 400°F. On a hairpiece, start at the lowest setting and only go up if you need to. Lower heat protects the cuticle and extends the life of the hair.
How fast do they heat up, and is there a shut-off?
The 1.25" iron uses a PTC ceramic heater and reaches temperature in about 30 seconds; the Iron Pro is ready in 55 seconds. The 1.25" shuts itself off after 30 minutes of non-use and has a 360° swivel cord.
Will these work outside the United States?
All of them are dual voltage. We also sell an EU version of the Iron Pro ($139, Champagne) that ships with a Type C plug and a removable Type G adapter. To use that one in the US you would just need a plug adapter, which is not included.
Will a curling iron make my hair frizzy?
The TYME 1.25" iron emits negative ions, which reduce frizz and static as you style. Pairing it with a heat protectant such as Moroccanoil Perfect Defense keeps both your own hair and your hairpiece smooth.
