5 Tips for Making Your Wig Natural
No matter what your reason for wearing a hairpiece, no one wants their wig to actually look like they are wearing a wig! Here are a few tips for making your wig natural in appearance and in your everyday lifestyle.
1. Try it on. This seems simple enough, but an ill-fitting wig or one that does not complement your face shape and skin tone will be a dead giveaway that you are wearing one. Stop by a shop like Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique to find out your head and cap size, then try on different styles and colors.
2. Customize. Human hair wigs boast the benefit of being able to be cut, colored and styled by a professional hair stylist. With these wigs you can completely customize the look to your face shape and skin tone. You can also change up your style before purchasing a new wig.
3. Consider your lifestyle. Are you active or do you pull your own hair back a lot? If so, you may want to consider wigs with cap constructions that appear the most natural, like lace front or monofilament. The caps allow for hair to be pulled back, away from the face or parted just about anywhere, with a seamless hairline.
4. Confidence is key. Hold your head and your wig high. If you are constantly checking your wig in the mirror or pulling at strands and adjusting the cap, that is just calling more attention to your hair and wig. As with any style, the right attitude can make or break it.
5. Take care. Of the wig, that it. Be sure to follow instructions carefully on how to care for and maintain your wig, including how often to wash it and which products to use. You’ll have to use shampoos and conditioners made especially for wigs, as well as specialty tools like brushes and cap stands. Keeping your wig looking like new is a one of the best ways to keep it looking natural.
