Wigs are an amazing investment along your healthy hair journey. With any investment, you want to do your research and make sure you find a wig that fits your personal style. Here’s a few tips to think about when finding your ideal wig.
Tip #1: Know your wig size. Wigs come in different sizes. You may think all wigs are one size fits all but they indeed do not. It’s important to know your wig size to ensure the best fit. To find your perfect wig size, you should measure your head’s circumference. Remember this measurement when shopping for a wig in-store or looking for a ready to ship wig online. Custom wigs require even more measurements just to make sure it fits you like a glove!
Sizes start at extra small that measures between 19 to 20 inches. The next size is a small which fit heads from 20 to 21 inches. The average and the most commonly worn wig size fits a head measuring between 22 to 22 ½ inches. Lastly is Large which is for heads between 23 to 24 inches in circumference.
Tip #2: Decide between Synthetic or Human hair. Wigs are typically made with either synthetic or human hair. Synthetic wigs are created from artificial materials. These types of wigs come in a variety of styles and colors. Human hair wigs are made from real human hair making them the most realistic kind of wig. Human hair wigs can be pricey compared to synthetic wigs. When compared to human hair wigs, the affordability of a synthetic wig is usually the determining factor when choosing between the two. Keep in mind that while synthetic wigs are more affordable, they normally do not last for a long time.
Tip #3: Think about your lace product. Lace closures, frontals and full lace are options you want to consider. These lace products are very popular because they will give you the most natural looks, however, they can be a little more expensive. You can still achieve a nice look with wigs without lace products as well, such as a wig with fringe.
Tip #4: Think about your lifestyle. Consider your lifestyle when choosing the perfect wig. You want to ask yourself these questions so that you can find exactly what you’re looking for. Why do you want to wear a wig? Is it convenient? Do you want a wig that you can put on with minimal styling or do you want something that can be styled in different ways? Do you workout? Are you a heavy sweater? These are all questions you need to think about when purchasing a wig.
