To get started, we sat down with our fabulous Ashro hair and wig stylist, Carrie Berry, to get an experienced perspective on how to wear a wig and tips on how to look absolutely gorgeous in them.
Let’s dare to be ourselves.
When our hair doesn’t feel like the inside of us or when it becomes like what we’re trying to achieve in the world, Lido, it’s time to move on! You may be ready to reveal the amazing things that are happening now, and now is not the time to lag behind. Why not open your mind and imagine something new? Sometimes it means humiliating our way of going a little bit; and sometimes it means seeing a whole new look.
Let’s choose the right type of wig for us.
1. Synthetic Wigs.
This type of wig is made from man-made materials. It tends to be more affordable, so if you want to experiment with a new style that you are not sure about, this is a great option. Warning: Hot styling will ruin most synthetic wigs. Do not use curling irons, flat irons or hot blow dryers on them unless the manufacturer clearly says so. Thankfully, some retailers are now making heat-resistant synthetic wigs, but always follow the manufacturer’s temperature recommendations. The good news: You can cut synthetic wigs and even use hair products. For the most part, synthetic wigs come pre-styled and retain that style until they get basic care. They even stand up to wind, rain and moisture.
2. Human Hair Wigs.
This type of wig is made from real human hair. It looks “real” because it is real. A human hair wig is ideal for women who want a very natural look and for a woman wearing a real wig. A woman who knows her style and is confident that she will use it. A human hair wig can handle everything you do with your own hair: you can cut it, color it, curl it, straighten it and make it dry. For this reason, a human hair wig is perfect for a woman who wants to play with the “wig” and customize her wig. Keep in mind that the lighter you are in your wig, the longer it will last. You still have to condition it after washing because it can no longer make its own oil. And just like real hair, moisture and wind can affect it.
3. Human Hair Blend Wigs.
This type of wig is a blend of human hair and synthetic fibers. It usually has a medium price, which gives you a more realistic look without spending so much on 100% wigs of your hair.
A compound looks great and wears well. This is a great road option. See the manufacturer’s details for heat and style tolerance.
What is a lace-front wig and why do I want it?
A lace-front wig is built on the ball line and usually in this part, with a sheer, almost invisible part of the lace mesh. This material is lightweight for comfort and slightly lighter for better fit. Human or artificial hair is tied with great effort to its tiny holes.
Because this sheer material sits right against your skin, it gives you a realistic-looking hairline in front of you. And if that’s part of you, the mesh lets your scalp show, so it looks like the wig is really growing out of your scalp. If you wish, you can also apply wig glue or styling gel to the lace to keep it in place very securely. You will need to take care when using lace front wig. It’s fragile, so if you’re not careful, it can tear or lose. Go to website Cynosure hair for tips on how to apply a lace front wigs human hair.
A wig – the basics of how to wear.
As flat as your hair can be. You want your wig to lie close to your scalp, so it looks natural. The easiest way to do this is to braid your hair at the corners, and then apply a wig cap that is close to the color of your scalp. Keep in mind that the scalp is usually lighter than the skin on your face. Wig caps can be purchased cheaply at your local stores.
When you apply your new wig, keep it as close to the natural hairline as possible. If it’s just below your forehead, it will look “wiggy”. If it’s too late, your own hair will show up too much.
How do I make sure it sticks? First, get the right size. Measure your head according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
Many wigs also come with built-in combs – or a wig strap that can be tightened for a snug, comfortable fit. Add your own bobby pins for even more security. With the help of a lace-front wig, you can use a few points of wig glue along the hairline or for a lighter option, the extra sticky styling gel can do the trick.
