Buying a wing for the first time can be daunting. You might feel confused and scared of this experience. Because there is a chance that you’ll look absolutely flawless wearing that wig or look like you have a bowl of spaghetti on your head.
It is necessary to understand that the perfect wig for you is out there, you just need the right knowledge and research to find it. If it’s your first time buying a wing, buying it in-store is a safer option as you’ll get to try them on.
For buying the perfect wig, here is all you need to keep in mind when buying a wig.
1. Human Hair Vs Synthetic Hair Wigs
This one is easy to answer because your budget decides the hair type of wig you can buy. Human hair wigs are costly and last longer. So, if you are willing to invest in wigs and plan on wearing them for up to 6months or a year, you should buy women’s wigs made of natural hair.
But, if you need it for cosplay, or want to have the same hairstyle every day, a synthetic wig will do a better job. Unlike human hair, synthetic hair doesn’t lose its styling and color. Synthetic hair women’s wigs can make you look the same as the day before. With a perfect hair wig do you can enjoy months without spending time or energy styling your hair. They have a high shine that makes them look unnatural especially in the daylight.
Human hair wigs or hair toppers look more natural and can be customized or styled daily. Natural wigs made with real human hair have fluidity and texture that stay intact for up to a year. Natural wigs are pricey but they can suit most individuals since they come in natural hair colors and can be styled every day.
Many women end up buying 3 to 5 synthetic hair wigs looking for the right one. The problem most of the time is: none of them looks natural. Instead of choosing synthetic wigs over and over again, you can buy a natural human hair wig that not only looks and feels natural but also saves you the time and money you spend on so many synthetic wigs.
2. Construction Cap
Everyone has different styling preferences, hairlines, and levels of comfort. That is where the construction cap comes in. Wigs have different construction caps for various women’s needs. For example, women who are suffering from hair loss, prefer wigs that have a tight or secure construction cap so they don’t come off easily.
Three types of Cap construction wigs are front lace, closed front, and French top.
1. Lace Front
Lace front wigs have a seamless hairline and some hair knots at the hairline to give a more natural hairline effect. It is hard to detect these knots in the hairline and create a natural effect in wigs that are brushed back. Some women prefer wigs that let them feel more comfortable and keep hair away from falling on their face. Lace front wigs are perfect for them because they let your face stay hair-free.
2. Closed Front
Closed front wigs can be worn on your hair directly. They are quick and easy to put on and the cap integrates with your head and hair. The closed front wigs have bangs or side fringe to conceal your natural hair.
3. French Top
French top wigs have very unnoticeable knots that blend in well. These hair wigs have a side part or middle part hairstyles. The hairline and part are very undetectable with double layers; one lace and one monofilament between the hair.
3. Select a Wig Style
Wigs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Ideally, you should choose a style that you are comfortable with. If you have always been wary of bangs, don’t buy an expensive wig with bangs right away. Take your time and select a wig style that you feel comfortable in. You are buying a wig to wear it not throw it inside your closet and forget about it because you bought something you aren’t comfortable or happy to wear.
Go online and search for different natural wigs and synthetic wigs. You can use an app to put a certain hairstyle on a picture of you. Apps can give you an idea of how you’ll look wearing a wig of a particular style. However, if you are buying an expensive natural hair wig for the first time, you should buy it after careful research or buy it in-store after trying it on. Take a friend with you and try on the wig you want to buy. Look at yourself and wear it for a few minutes. If you feel comfortable and it ticks all the boxes-buy it. However, shopping online is better if you want to choose from a wide variety of wigs.
If your goal is to increase the length of your hair or add volume, you can also go for hair toppers. Hair toppers that match your natural hair color can blend into your hair and give you luscious long hair and volume. Choose the hair type that matches your hair, for instance, if you have wavy hair, select a wavy hair topper. Choose from hair toppers that match your hair color and also have a similar texture and type.
4. Wig Brands
The quality of the hair used in your wig is extremely important. Do some research and find out about the reputable brands that offer good quality wigs. Some brands that offer a huge variety of wigs are often involved in their mass production and don’t pay much attention to quality.
Some stores care about selling you women’s wigs and don’t exactly care about selling the right one. The salesperson at a store earns a commission on every wig they sell. They can flatter you as you try on a wig and make you feel it is perfect when it may not be right. You might buy it and regret your decision later.
Before you choose the brand read their reviews, testimonials, and their services. The wig buying experience is very interesting and fun, make sure that you choose something comfortable and amazing!
