Picking the right wig/hairstyle is very important, we don’t want to turn out looking drab but fabulous and ready to take the day. Here are a few things to consider for sure when picking the right wig.
Take note of the cap size
Knowing your cap size is very important because if your wig is too tight or too loose, it would not be comfortable. Most people wear an average wig cap size but it is important to know what size works for you. You can get the measurement for the circumference of your head for a cap size with a tape measure.
Wig colour/length/style
Before picking out a wig you need to be sure what colour, length and style suits you best. It is best to go with something close to your skin tone. If you want to be adventurous, you could opt for long lengths or short cuts with highlights of different colours. The styling is also essential because it has to suit your face whether it’s a side part, center part or afro style choosing the one that flatters your face shape and appearance is key.
Wig type
Another important step in slaying the right wig is determining the type of wig. This helps you know how you would wear your wig, style your wig and take care of your wig. There are different types of wigs to choose and the most common types are; lace front wigs, hand-tied wigs, monofilament wigs, wefted wigs and closure wigs. These wigs give you versatility and durability depending on your preference. We have the lace fronts that give you a more delicate “like your hair” feel, the wefted wigs that give you durability and the hand-tied wigs that offer you comfort and ease.
Hair type
Last but not least is picking the hair type for your wig. There are two different hair types for wigs which are human hair and synthetic hair. The human hair wigs (as the name suggests) are made from human hair and have a softer and beautiful look. They are delicate and require care as good as taking care of your actual hair. Synthetic hair wigs have a shinier beautiful look and come in grades (high-grade synthetic hair which is heat friendly and the regular one which isn’t heat friendly). Both human and synthetic hairs offer their pros and cons so it all depends on what works for you or what you choose for yourself.
