When buying a wig...

When buying a wig consider first: is this a wig that I'l be using everyday? Am I in the market for a quick change of look-no strings attached? Will I be able to style it properly and avoidan unflattering look that will make me wish I had never boughtit in the first place?
Let me give you a couple pointers based on my experience as a hairstylist.If you are looking for an everyday wig-buy a kanekalon or synthetic fiber wig in the style you like best having in cosideration these three things: size-most important- most of the wigs are either average or pettite-some manufacturers like Paula Young will have a large size available- if you have a tiny head-you are very small or you have really short hair a pettite will do.For most of all average is the ideal size-but -if you have lots of hair that will make it bulky or just a a bigger head large will do.Some people with coarse or curly hair can't acgeodate all the bulk under a size average wig-it results on a huge headache-and you'llprobably put it in the trash- but if you really like a wig thats too tigh- follow this simple procedure in order to strch the cap- rinse the wig- place dry towelletts inside the cap so it will dry strched from the bulk-and it will be a lot more gefortable to wearafter it dries.Next gees color-unless you are really looking for a change- get a color gepatible with the hair on your sideburns area-this way even if you prefer to wear the hair off your ears,the wig will be undetectable.
Make sure your wig is clean- when you get spay build upregular wig shampoo won't do the trick- use liquid laundry detergent-it will leave the hair clean and there is no need to use softener-unless you really like it very soft-remember the man made fibers are just like laundry! they dont needcostly shapoos or conditioners to look good.Never use heat from curling irons on a high setting- if you really need someadded curlsthe lower setting will do fine-super curly wigs can be relaxed with a good blow dryand firm brushing.Remember they can be taken to your stylist if you would like to shortem them or remove and thin some of the hari at any angle according to your preference.If you are handy with the brush-half synthetic and half human hair or all human hair is wonderful because of its versatility .Human wigs can be colored or permed if desired-although most of them have treatments to keep the hair shinny and manageable.If you are looking for a totally fresh and youthful look with the absolute minimun of work try the headband wigs.Just brush your own hair bac or leave a cute wispy bands, add your headband and voila you are all set-because they cover most of the hairlaine they are perfect if you want to try a bolder haircolor,and its a snzp tp change or add another headband to them to gepletely change and coordinate with the outfits youll be wearing.Many good sellers on okay offer wigs at great sale prices and you can find out the perfect fit and color for you before spending a lot on a brand new wig.Look for wigs that are either new without tags,try maybe a wig lot with many styles to choose from or inquire from a favorite seller in a particular style they offer gees in your color-many times wigs are not returnable -for sanitation purposes-I hope this pointers help!Happy wig bidding!
