HOW TO LOOK FOR WIGS FOR BLACK WOMEN

It is no doubt that wearing wigs has made looking good easier, but how do you know the perfect wig to compliment that exquisite look especially as a black woman? Time allows us access to make recognizable improvements on everything that beautifies life, and wigs are no exceptions. They keep coming in more beautiful texture and looks. The wigs are beautiful to behold but you are unsure whether it would be beautiful on you or stand the test of time. This piece would serve as a guide to help you get that wig that would blend with your glowing black colour.

There are two major types of newly made wigs: natural hair and synthetic wigs. You can choose either of these wigs depending on how you want to wear them. If you want wigs that would allow different styles, synthetic wigs would be a better option, they can stay in any position you style them. But if you need wigs that would look like your natural hair, then natural hair wigs would suit better. They look real and you can wear them on a daily basis as if they were your hair. But be aware that if you are going for the natural wig, you would be ready to give it regular maintenance. If not, it would lose its natural features.

Cap Construction
Cap Construction

One of the basic things you look out for in wigs is the wig cap construction. The cap is the base upon which the prepared hair is attached to form the finished wig. With the evolution of time, wig caps are no longer as they used to be. Having a cap that assumes the shape of your head upon wearing it indicated a better fitting wig and vice versa. If you are unsure of the cap and how well it will size your head, you can get a wig with adjustable straps on the cap that would help you adjust the cap to the size of your head. This is better than the tedious task of applying adhesive whenever you have to wear your wigs.

Different caps have different designs with which the hair strands get attached. Of these designs, the best for the black woman is the 100% hand-tied monofilament design. This design also called 100% hand-knotted appears like individual pieces or strands of hair attached to the cap. It is as opposed to machine – attached hair and allows each strand to move freely and makes it possible for the wig to be combed or parted in any direction giving the wearer an undiluted natural look. It creates the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp.  Some wigs have both designs combined in one where the hand-tied method is used in some sensitive part of the wig like the crown while the remaining parts are machine-attached. As a black woman, it may be better to go for the 100% hand-tied monofilament because of the natural look and the comfort that comes with it, but you may need to consider your pocket to make a better decision.

Except you have a look you want to mirror, natural colours like black or brown wigs look more natural on black women. There may be rare exceptions where a black woman has a naturally light coloured hair, she may choose to help her natural hair colours by wearing the light coloured wigs. These natural colours can also be dyed into any other colour of your choice. But trust me, natural coloured wigs are more appealing on a black woman than the brightly coloured ones.

Length
Length

You would also need to consider the length of the hair. Wigs come in varying lengths. The length you would choose should be dependent on the occasion you are wearing it and the look you want to wear. Long wigs can serve for any purpose, especially for a social function. Shoulder length wigs are perfect for dinner parties. It blends with the dinner wears to give the wearer a classy look. You can also rock short wigs (pixie cuts) as a black woman. It is easier to maintain and does not tangle like long hair.  The longer the hair length, the higher the chances of tangling it has.

Also, a black woman can never go wrong with a front lace wig. Once this type of wig seats on your head perfectly, it would be difficult for one to tell that it is a wig. It gives a black woman a natural look plus the fact that it gives an illusion of hair growth from the natural hairline thereby enhancing the natural look the hair gives. Ensure you test if the wig sheds. Shedding of wigs, whether natural of synthetic wigs fastens the life span of the wig.

Research has shown that black women tend to react easily to the weather. Going for wigs with enough ventilation would serve as a saviour even in hot weather. This ventilation would reduce (or prevent) irritation. You are also sure not to sweat because of the free air passage. This can help you wear the wig for a long time regardless of the weather.

You may want to go for wigs that can easily be curled or straightened to fit your choice at a particular point in time. It is only wigs that are rich in high-temp fiber (which is safe for use with curling irons) that can serve this purpose.

For a black woman, the texture of the hair should be of utmost importance especially if she wants a natural look. Some wigs are smooth and curly almost like the hair of these women black women. Those wigs are recommended.

Remember, that your budget is very important while choosing wigs. Some wigs are affordable and have good quality. Overpriced wigs are not necessarily the best wigs.

If you put all these are put into consideration, I am sure that you would be able to get the perfect wig that would serve the purpose it is meant for while complementing your looks. Don’t forget that the durability and longevity of any wig are dependent on how you use it. Ensure to use good products on your wigs to enable them last longer while looking healthy.

 

Why I don’t suggest you to cut all the lace on synthetic wigs?

If you ask what’s the most important suggestion I will offer for synthetic wig beginners, that must be “don’t cutt off all the lace”. There’s no rule that people can’t cut off all the lace. But I want to show you why I say don’t cut off all the lace.

It looks too wiggy if you cut all the lace and it’s hard for me to adjust the wig because there’s no lace. When you put your hair behind your ear, the edges will be lifted up. You know why it’s lifted up? Because you have no lace to help support you right there. If you didn’t cut off the lace, you would have lace right there that goes over your sideburn.

If you want to create a little bit edge so it can look like a frontal, you need to own one of wig brushes. Use a comb and take a little bit of hair and make sure it’s behind your ear. Take your got 2b ultra glue and hold the hair down. When you do that, you need to manipulate hairs over the ears. Take your ratatat tail comb and bring the hair down a little bit. It will look more natural. Cut of any unnecessary hair.

If you do cut off all the lace and you want to lay it down, it’s gonna be hard. I cut off all the lace of one of my wigs and I applied the glue underneath the wig, lay it downand tried my best. The next day I woke up bumps all on my head. It was disgustig. Why did I break out and bumps when I didn’t have any lace? When I usually have lace, I never break out of bumps. That’s probably another reason why I tell you to leave a little bit lace on. The wig itself is on your forehead glued down and it’s not safe for your skin. The lace is like a protective and protect your head from breaking out. I’ve never broken out from the glue ever except for that time I tried to put glue under a wig that I could have all the wig on.

Follow the steps I mentioned above you can’t even see the lace because the lace is brown and it blends in with my skin. I don’t leave a whole bunch of lace. But I leave it enough where I can adjust the wig. I can add some subsides.

How to keep your wig feeling super soft this season

So, it’s still a little chilly outside, and all we want to do is cosy up indoors under snuggly blankets until the sun properly returns. When we do have to leave the comfort of home and brave the outdoors, cold weather, harsh winds and snow can be damaging to our skin, our hair… and our cherished wigs! Until Spring arrives, protect your investment by considering these methods.

Use a pH Balanced Shampoo
Our skin and hair’s natural pH balance is on the acidic side, so acidic based shampoos are very good for hair! (these shampoos are the opposite to regular alkaline based shampoos which can be very drying to hair). Acidic based shampoos close the cuticle shaft of hair and keep moisture in the hair, as well as not stripping off all of the hair’s oils. Any shampoo bottle that says it is pH balanced is going to be acidic based. So, wash your wig with a pH balanced shampoo to protect it from drying out.

Condition
This may sound obvious, but conditioner makes hair soft! It protects hair from dryness. If you want to protect your investment apply a generous amount of conditioner to your wig after washing. Let the conditioner sit for 15 minutes to an hour before rinsing in mild water for a deeper condition. A hair serum applied after styling or leave-in conditioner will also give your wig long-lasting protection and shine.

It’s how you brush
Brush through your wig gently to avoid the hair becoming frizzy or ripping the hair from the wig tracks. Start brushing from the ends of the hair and work your way up. If possible, try and separate the tangles with your fingers as this is very gentle. After brushing, a light oil sheen can be sprayed onto the wig to restore lustre, this can be done on synthetic and human hair wigs.

Dry naturally
To let your wig air dry after a wash rather than blow drying is much better for your wig’s condition. Also make sure that the hair is completely dry before going outside in cold weather or it could freeze! Wigs are more suspectable to freezing and this can cause brittle hair and breakage. Make sure you allow plenty of time for your wig to dry, letting it air dry over night is always a good way to know it will be dry in time.

Limit heat
Heat tool styling depletes your hair of moisture. We know, we know, heat tool styling provides hair with the most sleek and flawless looks! But consider cutting down during the cooler months to notice a difference in the softness of your wig. Of course, many synthetic wigs are not able to withstand any heat styling, so be sure to double check if yours is heat-friendly.

Cover up
Cover up and protect your wig! Always check the weather before you head out the door, and if there’s any chance of rain, snow, or generally bad weather, wrap your hair or wear a hat (silk lined is best to retain the hairs moisture) or grab an umbrella.

So that is how you keep your wig protected from the cold weather until the sun returns for spring! We can’t wait!

Details about UniWigs blonde wigs

I’ve got tons of wig review requests about UniWigs. I haven’t even loved every single wig but I have tried a few of them. They are a great company and they made really high quality products. This is my newest one. I’m so excited about it.

It is super glam blonde lace front wig. I want to give you guys a slay this summer. I’m going to give all details and show how I install this wig, what I did to my natural hair underneath and how I lay the perimeter of it.

Before I show you how to put on this wig I want to give you guys the specs of this wig. This is a 22 inches synthetic lace front wig. It is light beige blonde color. This is a 200% density wig, which means that basically there’s twice as much hair on this wig than the average wig. You can get more hair and a nice thick wig.

I’m going to explaining the whole process of how I prepared my natural hair. My hair is getting longer so I just make two little pigtails. This is the easiest thing to do since I don’t know how to cornrow still and it’s fast, simple and actually works. My hair is getting longer now so I have more and more hair to try to fit up under my wig and still make the wig lay flat especially when I do a straight middle part wig, you need your natural hair to b laying as flat as possible across the top. Otherwise the wig will not look great. All I prepare my natural hair is wash it, condition it with whatever you want to wash your hair. Make sure you use something moisturizing. Let your hair be nourished ad moisturized under your wig so that your hair can grow while you wear a wig

I have my wig cap. I like to use a wig combination of wig caps depending on how and what I’m doing. I have the net cap and sock cap. I use net cap when I wear glueless method because it allows me to stick the comb through the net and into your hair.But since I will do the glue method and I’m going to secure it around the perimeter rather than really rely on the comb going to my hair. I like to use the stock cap.

The next main ingredient to clean all wig should not be surprise to anybody who wears wigs or frontals. It’s got2b glue. I will apply just a little bit on my edges. After I did my makeup they start frizzing a little bit. The glue really helps to split down your edges before you put on your wig that way everything is pulled back out of the way and you don’t have to deal with it. It lays nice and flat under your wig cap. I also slap a bobby pin to help dole it down.

I put the wig cap pretty low at first to get it on there. Basically I crisscross my braids and tuck it in. I try to flatten it out and scoot it down. It also helps if your natural hair is damp. My hair is still damp from washing it earlier. 

It is a synthetic lace front wig. It has huge lace where the hairs are hand tied off the lace. It’s in the very back of the wig where there are actual tracks. It also has two combs on either side of your head, which helps a lot if you are doing any type of ponytail or high bun. There is also an adjustable strap around the nave of the neck, which allows you t tighten or loosen the whole wig to fit your head perfectly.
