Wigs, tips for use and care
The right color
While a wig can be any color for a costume party, if you want a natural look, you will have to accept some restrictions when it comes to the color of your wig.
To decrease the chances of your hair showing up as fake, you just have to start with your natural hair color and go up to three shades darker or lighter.
You can also change the color depending on the season, with darker tones in the colder months and lighter for spring and summer.
Customize your wig
The worst thing you can do is take the wig out of the box and put it on. First you have to customize it, in this way it will not be noticed that it is about false hair.
Whether it's made from human hair or synthetic fibers, a wig always looks its best when it's styled to suit your face shape.
Caring for the wig with the right products
Even if you buy a cheaper synthetic wig, you should invest in products specifically created to make it look better.
For wigs made from natural hair, gentle colored hair products are needed and it is important that they are also sulfate-free.
Not completely hiding natural hair
The crescent that is formed by the wigs that are placed under the natural hairline is what makes them noticeable. In case the hair is somewhat visible, the hair of the same has to match the natural one.
Heat and wig
Extreme heat can damage both natural and synthetic hair wigs, but sometimes even heat from the sun or from a kitchen is also damaging.
Avoid standing next to a boiling pot in the kitchen or opening the oven door to look inside, especially if wearing a synthetic wig.
More than one wig
You don't have to wear just one, but alternate between two or three wigs. This will extend their lifespan and also make it easy to style or wash the others.
Avoid volume
Even if you have a retro hairstyle, the volume at the crown is what gives the wig the most because it increases the artificial appearance of the wig.
Invest in a wig holder
It is important to place the wig on a suitable support when not wearing it, in order for it to retain its shape. It is also important to wear a suitable cap under the wig, to prevent the sebum from the scalp from ruining it over time.
