Wearing a Wig
The image that probably most often comes to mind when hearing the word 'wig' is a cheap, flimsy-looking Halloween costume accessory or a haphazardly placed toupee on a bald man. But in reality, wigs are now a trendy and functional fashion piece.
Wigs allow you to change your hairstyle effortlessly without all of the time, money, and hassle it takes to go to a salon for professional styling. You can change up the color, the length, and the texture however you please.
How to Wear a Wig
Securing your wig into place is essential to keep it on your head throughout the day so it doesn't shift or come loose. Most wigs utilize adjustable straps or head caps to hold them in place. Other methods used to hold your wig in place may include:
- Wig glues
- Built-in hair combs
- Double-sided tape
- Adjustable wig bands
- Bobby pins
- Metal wig clips
Use care when removing a wig secured with glue or tape as it may further damage your natural hairline;You'll also want to use a wig liner to help contain your natural hair underneath and to protect your wigs from the oils in your scalp that can degrade their quality over time.
Finding Your Wig Size and Fit
To determine the proper wig fit, you will need to take some measurements of your head. Use a soft tape measurer.
You will want to measure the circumference of your head, starting at your natural hairline at the front and wrapping around your head to the nape of your neck and behind your ears.
Next, you will need to measure your head from ear to ear to just in front of your earlobes and over the middle part of your head. And then you'll want to measure from the front where your natural hairline starts to back at the bend of your neck.

Types of Wigs
Wig types can vary based on the amount of coverage, the kind of hair used, and your style needs. If u want to be easier, u can just order Ready-made wigs, human hair wigs or synthetic hair wigs,Or you can order hair bundles and frontal/closure to make yourselves wigs, that will be more fitting for you. We mainly talk about the “human hair wigs” Here are the 4 types of wigs and their specifications.
Full Lace Wigs
A full lace wig are made by hand, which makes the perfect combination of human hair and lace, and also makes the ventilation effect better. They are more breathable and comfortable to wear, which makes them much more expensive than standard wigs.
360 Frontal Wigs
A 360 frontal wig only has lace around the cap to create a more natural-looking hairline. the 360 lace area is made by hand It is natural and breathable, too, and allows for more versatile styling. The lace area is little than a Full lace wig so it is more affordable than a full lace wig.
Lace Front Wigs
Lace front wigs only has the lacing on from the part for an adaptable part and hairline. the different lace areas decided it's a different name, usually, we called 13x4/13x6 lace frontal wig, 4x4/5x5 lace closure wigs, and also it has 13x4x1 lace part wig, It provides a high-quality wig for a fraction of the cost of the more expensive wigs.The size of lace determines the price of headgear. The larger the area of lace, the higher the price of headgear.
Hair Types for Wigs
Hair for wigs can be made from synthetic materials, real human hair, or a combination of human hair and synthetic hair. Pre-colored and textured human hair wigs are also available.
Although wigs with human hair are more expensive than those made from synthetic hair, human hair wigs are preferred as they hold up longer than synthetic wigs. Human hair wigs are also easier to style than synthetic wigs.
Wigs with human hair may be better for those who lead more active lifestyles as they can be washed and worn for activities like swimming. While synthetic wigs are better for individuals who are more stationary, such as working at a desk job most of the time.
Buying a Wig
Once you have decided what type of wig and hair you want, there are some other factors you'll want to consider as well. For the ultimate customization, you'll want to determine the following.
Color
Wig colors can range anywhere from more natural hair color tones such as blonde, red, black, or brown. To more vibrant colors like hot pink, neon orange, and electric blue.
Wigs allow you to change up your hair's color palette whenever you please.
Style
While wigs with human hair can be styled in many ways on their own, wigs can also come pre-styled. Textures from curvy and curly to straight and shaped
Wigs enhance your look with a variety of styles that take the hassle out of everyday hair styling.
Length
Wigs can also vary in length. From short and sassy bobs to medium shoulder length and extra long.
Wigs let you play around with several different lengths without actually cutting your hair and waiting for it to grow back out again.
Wig Care and Storage
If you buy a packaged wig, do not attempt to wear it straight out of the package. Wigs need to air out and breathe for a few days. You will need to put it on a wig form to stretch it out to fit on your head and also to brush, shape, and style it.
Wigs that are worn frequently should be washed weekly. If you only wear certain wigs once in a while, a monthly washing is fine.
Use conditioner and clarifying shampoo for heavily soiled wigs and gentle cleansing shampoo for mildly dirty hair. Air dry wigs only as excessive heat can damage them.
Hang your wig up or leave it on a wig form when not in use. If you do not have a wig form or have limited space, put a hairnet over it and use a plastic storage bin, shoebox, or a satin bag for storing your wig. Keep it out of direct sunlight and in a cool and dry location.
With regular and proper care and cleaning, your wigs will stay looking shiny and beautiful for a long time.
