I wouldnt use mousse or hairspray on synthetic hair, it will ruin it.Styling synthetic hair extensions?
If you plan to curl your own wig you must first make sure that you own the proper curling iron. You will want to purchase a curling iron with the lowest possible heat setting. Usually the least expensive curling iron will be the one with the lowest temperature output but always read the packaging label to make sure.
Secondly, you must make sure that you use a technique designed to minimize the curling iron's damage on the hair. If you are curling a synthetic hair wig, mist the hair with water before styling since the hair strands are made of plastic or nylon and can melt easily under high heat. The water will provide a barrier to high temperatures. If you have a human hair wig you can skip this step. Next, you will need to place another barrier, such as a thin cloth or a piece of tissue paper (the papers that come in home perm packages work great for this) between the hair strands and the barrel of the curling iron. This material will help distribute the heat, lower the temperature, and protect the actual hair strand.
Finally, when actually applying the curling iron to the hair strands you will want to use a gentle touch, do not tug on the hair strands or place too much pressure on the clamp of the curling iron. Once you have the hair wrapped around the barrel keep the hair strand moving across the heat source. If you allow the hair to stay against the barrel for any period of time it can damage the hair strand.
As an added layer of protection, you may want to purchase a heat protecting styling product if you plan to curl your own wig frequently. Specially formulated products are available that will help protect your wig from the heat and condition it during styling so that the hair won't melt or frizz during curling.
Instead of heating the rollers, roll up the synthetic hair in it..unheated :P.. Whilst it is rolled up spray it..let open the rollers and mousse it.
You can curl them on low heat
Then put some hair spray and leave-in-conditioner on them to amke them look more realistic

You can curl them on a very low heat setting and then hair spray them.
