Wig Styling Tips

Synthetic Wigs

GOOD NEWS!  Your synthetic wig doesn’t require “re-styling” as the style is “built into” the fibre.  However, you do want it to look natural so here are some tips:

A.  Make sure the wig is sitting properly at your natural hairline and     
     temples.  If the fringe is too long, it is better to have the   
     fringe trimmed rather than push the wig back which will distort
     the shape of the wig and it will not fit properly or be secure.
B.  To add volume and loosen the fibres, gently shake the wig before
     putting it on – this works best  with short & medium length;
     curly and/or wavy and layered cuts.
C.  Many wigs have the option of changing the parting and you can
     experiment with your style to see if this works by gently brushing   
     in the direction you want.  It may take a little gentle coaxing as
     most wigs are finished with a parting in place.
D.  If there is too much volume; gently press that area with your
     hands for a brief period to decrease the volume.
E.  If you need to add volume, the fibre can be gently teased but you
     may find “fluffing” with your fingers may work just as well.
F.  You can use water-soluble hair spray, but we recommend
     spraying your fingers and applying rather than spraying the
     whole wig.   The more product you use, the more often you have  
     to wash your wig.
G.  Allow your wig to be a little “messy” ... no one’s hair is always
     perfect and you don’t want it to look like a helmet!

Enjoy looking great at a moment’s notice without effort. It doesn’t get much better than that!!

Human Hair Wigs

There is nothing more beautiful than human hair, however, it does require more care than a synthetic wig.  If you like your hair longer and basic without much in the way of layering or volume, a human hair wig is the perfect answer.  You can let the wig dry naturally and gently finish with a flat iron if needed or blow dry if desired.

If you have short to medium length hair and a specific style that requires blow drying, curling, etc. you will have to do that re-styling after every wash ... just like you would on your own hair.  For some this would be an enjoyable exercise but others may find it too difficult and/or too much trouble.  

As with any wig,  those with Mono-Top, Lace Front and Hand Tied Constructions offer the greatest opportunity for customizing partings, fringes and other style elements.

The great thing about a human hair wig is that it can be professionally cut into any style you wish and you can even re-cut as desired for different styles.  We do recommend that you make certain you find a hairdresser that is experienced in wig cutting prior to making any style decisions, as it won’t grow back!
