HOW TO TAKE CARE OF WIGS

Tip one:

If you want to restyle your wig with heated products regularly, then a human hair wig would suit you, as heated products on most synthetic wigs are a no-go unless you specifically buy a heat-resistant wig.

If you prefer your wig to keep its style for as long as possible, with minimal effort, then a synthetic wig may suit you better.

 

Tip two:

The idea of taking some scissors to your wig may make you feel uneasy, but just in the same way that you wouldn’t cut your own hair unless you’re confident in your hairdressing ability, you wouldn’t cut your wig unless you felt comfortable with the scissors. If you want to add a fringe, layers or give it a tidy up, then take your wig to your local hairdresser to reshape your wig in a way that’s more suited to your own personal style. It’s hard to reverse the damage to a wig, so we definitely recommend visiting a specialist if you’re unsure about anything!

 

Tip three:

One of our favourite hair care tips for wigs is making your wig your own; personalising your wig with various hair accessories and scarves can really give it that personal touch. We’d also recommend trying something new as your style may have evolved since the last time you tried on a hair accessory, and it might just be the missing ingredient to complete a look.

 

Tip four:

To keep your wig looking fresher for longer, you need to make sure that you use the correct wig care products based on the type of wig you wear; ensuring you buy the relevant products for synthetic and human hair wigs.

 

Tip five:

There’s no better way to refresh your wig than by giving it a was with your special wig shampoo and conditioner. However, an important hair care tip for wigs is to use the correct method of washing your wig to ensure that no damage occurs during the process. Although very similar in term of the processes, there are a few differences between washing a human hair wig and washing a synthetic wig. Luckily, we have an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide for both!

 

Tip six:

Wig care tips to achieve a natural look is a commonly researched topic, and having a natural-looking wig can be extremely important for many wig wearers. The best way to achieve a natural look is to ensure that you find a wig that matches your skin tone. If a wig is too dark, it can make you look washed out, and something too light can look unnatural and give the game away. Most people know their natural hair colour and find that something as close to this as possible is the best way to keep things looking natural. Learn how to match your wig colour to your skin tone.

 

Tip seven:

If you have a synthetic wig that you feel doesn’t look natural, this could be due to the nature of the fibres in the wig. Never fear though, there are ways that you can remove the shine from these wigs so that they look more natural and blend in. For example, you may wish to use a powder or wash your wig to remove any excess shine. Learn about the best methods for removing shine from a synthetic wig.

Tip eight:

Similarly to washing and maintaining a wig, when it comes to wig styling, you need to make sure you are using products that are designed for the type of wig you have. Wig spray is a great styling product to ensure your style holds but without any stickiness, with various brands catering for either synthetic or human hair wigs.

 

Tip nine:

In terms of wig styling tips, we would always recommend that you try different styles and play around with your own style. Practicality is key, though, with summer hairstyles of ponytails and braids perfect for reducing sweat in the warmer months; check out our tips for putting a lace-front wig in a ponytail on our blog!

 

Tip ten:

Although sticking to your original hair colour is great for achieving a natural look, you shouldn’t be scared to try something new if you fancy a change. Seasonal change is often a good place to start, going a few shades lighter or darker than normal rather than a completely different colour altogether.
