If you’re new to the world of wig-wearing, you may be a little bewildered by the options available and uncertain about whether you’ll be able to enjoy a comfortable experience.
One of the best ways to introduce yourself to the range of wigs available and to learn more about wearing one is to research wig stores in Miami and then schedule an in-store visit to talk things over with an expert.
But if you bought your wig online and didn’t receive any personalized advice, you may find the following tips help to give you a better, more comfortable wig-wearing experience:
How to keep your wig securely in place
It would be embarrassing for your wig to suddenly fly off your head in a gust of wind or fall off in a shop when you bend over to pick something up or tie your shoelace. A good wig should feel secure on your head. You can achieve this by wearing a wig cap or wig grip underneath your wig. Additionally, using a bobby pin or similar item to secure the wig cap netting to the wig can provide extra peace of mind.
A well-fitting wig cap should enable the wig to feel secure, and when you bend over or turn your head quickly from side to side, it shouldn’t budge.
Choosing the right kind of wig
While there will always be advocates of human hair wigs (and usually with good reason), it can sometimes come down to how you would like to style and wear your hair—as well as your circumstances—as to whether you choose a human or synthetic hair wig.
If you want to be able to do all the things you did with your natural hair—such as straightening and curling, etc.—with your wig, then one made from human hair is the obvious choice. However, it’s imperative that if you do choose a human hair wig, you go for a high-quality one. Remember that a human hair wig will act the same as natural human hair, including becoming frizzy in humid conditions, or having the curls fall out after some time.
Should you prefer to have a wig that you can simply throw on your head and walk out the door wearing (while looking great!), then you may decide on a wig made from synthetic hair. Even once washed, a synthetic hair wig will retain its style while it dries, and damp or humid conditions won’t spoil its look.
Once you’ve chosen the right wig to match your preferences, you should already feel a lot more comfortable when wearing it.
Buying a wig with a lace front
Not all wigs have a pre-trimmed lace front, but those that don’t are typically much more difficult to work with. A wig with a pre-trimmed lace front can be taken out of the box and put right on your head without any fuss, difficulty, or discomfort. With a natural-looking lace front wig, the hair can still be pulled back from the face and look entirely natural, with the lace giving the illusion of hair growing naturally from your head. While not every style needs a natural-looking lace front, if you do enjoy wearing your hair pulled back into a braid or ponytail, they can be crucial for achieving these styles successfully.
When wearing a wig with a lace front, it’s wise to check the lace once on your head, just to be sure that there isn’t any hair caught up under it.
Detangling your wig
Longer human hair wigs in Miami are particularly prone to tangling, and it’s important to understand how best to deal with it when it happens. Always use a special wig brush or comb, and begin at the bottom, working your way up to the root. Begin at the back of the wig, next to the nape, and use slow, gentle movements. Where possible, detangle your wig on a stand, but if your wig is aging and more prone to tangling, you may wish to keep it for use at the gym or while swimming, for example.
