The Ultimate Guide To Buying And Maintaining Wigs

Your perfect hair accessory awaits, but first, let’s find out what suits your style, budget, and maintenance needs.

If you want convenience and minimal upkeep, pre-styled synthetic wigs will be your best friend. But if you’re a beauty chameleon who loves to switch things up, a human hair wig will give you the ultimate freedom to experiment with various looks.

And don’t be fooled by the seemingly straightforward choice between synthetic and human hair wigs. The wig-scape is brimming with endless possibilities, from hair textures to shades, and it’s your time to shine and explore every nook and cranny of this universe.

There are three fantastic types of wig fibers out there. Let’s take a closer look at each one!

Human Hair Wig

First up, we have the ever-popular human hair wig.

These wigs are made from real human hair, giving you the most natural look possible. But that’s not all – you can style it just like your own hair, whether you want to use a curling iron, straightener, or even dye it to achieve the perfect shade. With a human hair wig, the possibilities are endless!

Synthetic Wig

Get ready to revolutionize the way you think about synthetic wigs! Contrary to popular belief, not all synthetic wigs are created equal.

Say goodbye to any misconceptions, leap into the wonderful world of heat-friendly hair enhancements, and hello to the salon-quality synthetic wig fibers that are a cut above the rest!

The easy-care Kanekalon®/synthetic wig fibers are perfect for those who want natural-looking hair that is soft, light, and resilient hair.

If you’re after a style that won’t frizz or droop in any weather, you’ll love the remarkably light and comfortable WhisperLite® wig featuring baby-fine fibers that keep you looking chic and sophisticated.

And for those who love to switch up their style with heat tools, VersaFiber® wigs are the perfect match, allowing you to style your hair up to 350˚F for a natural-looking finish that’s as unique as you are!

Blended Wig

If you’re not a seasoned wig pro, chances are you’ve never come across the magic of a blended wig. But trust us; this is something you don’t want to miss! A blended wig perfectly fuses human and synthetic hair, giving you the best of both worlds.

You’ll get the natural look and feel of human hair, plus the durability and versatility of synthetic hair. And that’s not all – with a blended wig, you can also experiment with heat tools on moderate settings without causing any damage.

A blended wig is a secret weapon for anyone who wants to amp up their hair game!

How To Care For Wigs?

Make your wig last and look fabulous by following these 4 often neglected hair care tips. Forget the countless online tips because these 4 easy steps will keep your wig healthy and luscious.

Quality Care Kit

Say it with us: “Not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal.”

Beginner wig wearers often make the mistake of using everyday shampoo and conditioner on their wig, which can be detrimental to the wig’s health. Traditional hair products contain harsh chemicals that can lead to permanent damage.

Unlike natural hair, your wigs’ hair fibers cannot repair themselves over time. Investing in a quality wig care kit is essential to ensure your wig’s longevity.

Shampoos and conditioners designed for wigs and your natural hair are the secrets to keeping your hair wigs looking luscious and healthy.

Clean Wigs

Upgrade your wig care game with these 5 easy techniques:

  1. Avoid rubbing the shampoo in the wig. Instead, soak it in soapy water and swirl the wig around for a residue-free wash.
  2. Rinse with care with lukewarm water and repeat until all the soap has been washed off.
  3. Keep your wig silky smooth by conditioning it with the same gentle technique.
  4. Tangle-free tresses are just a brush away! Detangle your wig immediately with a detangling brush.
  5. The best method to dry your wig is by air-drying, but in case you are in a hurry, you can use a heat protectant spray on your wig made of either heat-friendly synthetic fiber or human hair and then blow dry it. Be careful not to use too much heat on your wigs!

Store with Care

Keep your gorgeous wig shining like a star by storing it in a cool room. Add a small humidifier if you live in a dry climate to prevent your wig from drying out. Use a wig stand or case and a light cover to shield your beloved wig from dust and exposure. Easy peasy!

Love Your Locks

Here’s the most important wig care tip: keep your scalp and hair clean!

Not only will a healthy scalp prevent natural oil and perspiration from building up, but it’ll also keep your wig brand new. It takes practice and dedication, but with these tips, your wigs will look better and last longer.

Conclusion

Get ready to slay effortlessly with your perfect wig!

Finding the ideal wig that suits your style and lifestyle is a piece of cake when you know what to look for. Plus, with a little tender love and care, your wig will look brand new.
