Today more and more people are wearing wigs to try out new hairstyles, deal with hair loss, or protect their natural hair. Wearing wigs is fun, but there are some things you need to do to make your wig look seamless and natural. Wigs come in different lengths and colors to suit your individual needs. Some people like to wear their hair up, while others tend to keep it down. Consider the style when choosing a wig because particular wigs won’t look natural if pulled into an updo.
The next crucial aspect is to ensure a proper fit. Look for a wig cap that is adjustable and includes combs to hold everything in place. In all cases, though, remember that quality matters most. No matter what material the wig is made of, a well-made wig will fit best and look seamless.
- Purchase a Wig Cap
You will need an adjustable wig cap to keep your hair in place and give you a clean, flat base for placing the wig. It is also crucial if you want to protect those luxurious locks you’ve been growing with the help of rice water. A wig cap can be purchased from most wig stores or an online retailer. It is vital to make sure you are getting the correct size. If it is too big on your head, it won’t hold your hair correctly underneath the wig.
- Length and Color
The fun part is choosing the perfect style. If you’re trying to match your natural hair color, you can find multiple options, and if you choose a human hair wig, you could also dye the hair any color to match. On the other hand, if you’re looking to change colors entirely, wigs are the best way to temporarily try out cuts or colors.
Wigs are lovely because they can give you a quick style with little effort. Most wigs and extensions come in lengths that range from 14 inches to 30 inches (or more!) To make the style look more natural, choose a believable and manageable length.
- Maintenance Is Key
You’ll also want to wash your wig every 10 to 20 years (or as needed). To wash synthetic wigs, you will need to be gentle and use specially-designed shampoos. Leave it on a dry towel to air dry overnight for the best results. For human hair wigs, use your favorite shampoo and conditioner, and you can also style them with heat.
Comb through your wig using a wide-tooth comb. Detangle the hair, especially the hair at the nape of your neck, to help the style last longer.
- Wear It Proudly
Whether you’re new to wigs or just new to a particular look, it can be tempting to go for the most dramatic wig in terms of color and style. However, it’s good to start with something similar to your natural hair. That way, you’ll have an easier time blending the wig and wearing it in public. Once you get used to wearing one style of wig consistently, then you can start experimenting with more dramatic styles if you want.
Don’t forget—although you can change up your hairstyle every day, you don’t have to! Our top tip to make your wig look seamless and natural is to have it installed by a professional stylist who will ensure your style lasts for weeks.
