Make Wig Wearing Benefit You!

Make Wig Wearing Benefit You!

Yes, we talk about the challenges a lot, but there are also many benefits to wig-wearing. Like most things, wearing a wig and caring for it takes some work. But maybe you (like I) sometimes forget to think of the upside, the benefits. 

To get the most out of your wig it is important to know how to choose and care for them. Here are a few tips from the wig-wearing experts like some of you:

 

  1. Find a wig color that matches your skin tone. Treat the wig color just as you would picking a color to enhance your bio hair and your look in general. If you were a blonde before and know that blonde is a good color for you, it might help to stay in the blonde “family” when buying your first wig. You can branch out as you go and learn more about what wig colors are available. 
  2. If security is a challenge for you, look at the many ways to secure your wig, and there are many to pick from. Don’t spend your time worrying about your wig slipping or worse, falling off when there are so many securing options to choose from. Tape, clips, glue, caps, grips, and the list goes on. Find what works for you. Reach out for help if you are new to the wig world. You’ll find many people willing to give you the benefit of their experience. But remember, it is THEIR experience, and your issues or questions might be different. For example, some won’t leave the house without a wig grip and other items. Some leave the house with absolutely nothing between their wig and their head. It’s a very personal thing based on many factors. 
  3. Make the wig YOURS. I can’t stress this enough…do not think you will be able to pull the wig from the box, put it on your head, and love it unconditionally. This rarely happens. Believe me when I tell you, a one-time investment with a hairstylist to trim and shape it to your face is the best money you will ever spend. Along with this, please watch the many helpful videos WigStudio1 supports, and remember to take advantage of the great consultants they have standing by to help.
  4. Know your head size, and know that though wigs are mass made, you can find ways to achieve a good fit with a bit of work. You will find that some brands fit your head better than others. You will learn which cap construction types suit your head and your comfort level best. There comes experience. 
  5. If your wig has a part, and most do, don’t make it so straight and perfect. Perfect is not realistic. 
  6. Don’t be afraid to personalize it. You can wear clips/barrettes and other things to change up your look to fit your mood or outfit.
  7. Care, care, and care. Washing and conditioning your wig is important and can add not only to the look of your wig but to its life. 
  8. Appreciate the good stuff about wig-wearing:  
  • You can change your look in minutes. 
  • There are no more bad hair days.
  • There are no more minutes or hours in front of the mirror trying to hide your thinning bio hair.
  • There is little styling time required, saving you time and frustration.
  • You can try a new style and color without a costly long-time commitment as with bio hair. 
  • Wigs can help you through recovery from an illness or be a daily friend. 
  • Save your bio hair from repeated heat, coloring, or bleaching. 
  • Freedom! Change your style, your color, your look. Wigs are great!

 

Wishing everyone a great holiday season!
