Wigs for Black Women

Wigs are more common than you might think. In particular, there are wigs for black women that are very popular. On average, 50% of black women wear wigs. While natural hair is beautiful, for some black women, the effort to maintain it is exhausting, and similar or more elaborate styles can be achieved with a wig. Many people wear wigs for the convenience, versatility, and protection they offer, and simply for the fun of it.

Whatever your needs or style may be, there is a wig for you!

Benefits of Wigs for Black Women

Wigs offer many benefits that reveal why wig wearing is common among black women:

Easily Change Hairstyle: Many popular hairstyles among black women look great but take hours to style. This makes choosing a hairstyle a real commitment. But wigs are a quick and easy way to change your style, length, or color without the hassle.

Natural Hair Protection: Styling black hair with flat irons, relaxers, and even tight ponytails can cause hair damage. Wigs are a safe way to rock any hairstyle you want. They are also helpful for covering and protecting natural hair you are growing out from a shorter length.

Conceal Thinning Hair: Nearly half of all black women, at some point in their lives, will experience hair thinning which is a common reason for wearing wigs. Wigs help conceal thinning hair and create realistic full, luscious hairstyles. Wigs are a great way to boost confidence if you’re experiencing hair loss or thinning.

Wig Styles

Wigs come in all kinds of cuts, lengths, colors, and textures such as straight, wavy, curly, and afro kinky. There are many varieties of wig styles, and all the different terminology can get confusing, but here are some of the most common styles among black women.

• Lace-closure wigs offer full coverage and protection and can be parted in the middle or on the side. They are good for new wearers who don’t want a complicated wig application.

• Lace-front wigs achieve a very natural look and have a wide parting space thanks to the panel of lace at the front of the wig cap. They are highly versatile when it comes to styling.

• 360-lace wigs have a perimeter of lace around the wig cap. These are great for up-dos, like ponytails and buns, because the lace is seamlessly blended with your natural hairline.

• Hairpieces like ponytails and clip-in extensions are also a popular choice for adding length and accentuating your natural hair.
