5 Styling Tips to Wear Wigs

No matter if you’ve purchased a wig because of the different styles, colors, and lengths that they offer or to cover your hair loss, there is no denying the fact that wearing a wig can be a lot of fun. With that being said, there are a few things that you should keep in mind while wearing a wig to make sure that it can provide you with the desired look. To make the wig wearing process simpler for you, we’ve created a list of 5 important tips to help you out while wearing synthetic hair wigs. 

 

 Tip 1. Taking Care of Your Natural Hair

While wearing a wig eliminates the need to style your natural hair, it is still crucial to make sure that your natural tresses are in an excellent condition. Even if your natural hairs are braided, make sure that you wash them thoroughly with shampoo and only wear the wig when they are completely dry. Wearing a wig on damp natural hair can result in mildew and bacteria. 

 Tip 2. Caring for the Edges of Your Hair

While wearing a wig, avoid compromising the edges by clipping them around your hairline. A better alternative is to buy a wig that has a built-in cap to offer a comfortable fit without the use of plastic clips. For securing your hair, make use of Bob pins behind your ears or in the crown where the chances of damaging the edges are minimum. 

 Tip 3. Creating a Strong Foundation

To achieve the desired look with a wig, it is important first to prepare your natural hair for it. Wash your natural hair, condition them and then use a hot oil on them to keep your scalp and hair moisturized. Once you are done with the hot oil treatment, braid your hair to the back, hold the ends and fold them in between the parts before sewing everything that is flat. According to the experts, this is the perfect way to make sure that your natural hairs don’t look bad. 

 Tip 4. Buy a Wig Head

Apart from caring for your natural hair, it is very important to care for your wig as well. Rather than throwing your wig on your bedpost at the end of the day, buy a wig head to neatly place your wig on it. This will allow the wig to retain its bounce and shape. 

 Tip 5. Avoid Buying Shiny Wigs

If you are planning to buy a synthetic wig, avoid purchasing the one that is too shiny as it is easy for everyone to know that you are wearing a wig. There are many Synthetic hair wigs available in the markets that are not very shiny. And if you have already purchased a shiny wig, you can reduce the shine by brushing the wig with a paddle brush. 

These are 5 of the most important styling tips to maintain the health of your natural hair and wig, and to ensure that you can achieve the desired look with utmost convenience.
