1. Choosing your womens wigs size
The first and most important step in picking your women's wig is size. You want a women's wig that’ fits well and sits well above your neck.
You'll want to take measurements first to get the right womens wigs for your head.
- Measure the circumference of your head:
Measure from the center of your front hairline, back to the tip of your left ear, back down to the nape of your neck, back up again to the tip of your right ear, and then reach back to the center of your front hairline.
- Ear-to-ear measurement:
Measure the length across from left to right ear through the top of the head point.
- Front-to-back measurement:
Measure the length from the center of your front hairline back through the top of your head and point down to the nape of your neck.
Whichever one of these measurements is the longest is YOUR wig size!
2. Finding your style
You can choose between either synthetic womens wigs designed to maintain and support one style or a human hair wig that you can style every day like your natural hair.
If you want something in between, you can also choose VersaFiber® wigs that are heat-styleable!
The choice of styles is practically limitless, and you can go from short pixies and bobs to long and curly womens wigs, depending on your personality and taste!
3. Finding your color
There are as many colors out there as there are womens wigs. Choose a color looks good with your skin tone and speaks to your personality for a daily look. Once you get the hang of wearing wigs, you can experiment with different colors that are brighter and bolder.
How to wear a womens wig for beginners
A fuller and natural look with a wig
If you have long hair, tightly wrap it before wearing your wig over it.
Part your hair in the middle like you would if you were to make pigtails, then cross each end to the side hairline of the opposite side and clip it there. After clipping both sections to the opposite sides, you’re ready to put on your womens wigs.
If you’ve got shorter hair, it’s even simpler, comb your hair back, give the wig a shake, and put it on.
Maintaining womens wigs
Maintaining wigs is very important if you want them to last. For your synthetic wig, you can wash it in a shampoo bath in your sink, rinse and condition it. Ensure you don’t brush the hair when wet, and use a towel to pat it dry before hanging it out.
When it comes to a natural human hair wig, you can shampoo and wash it in cool water, rinse in warm water, and then gently brush it from the nape to the crown. After that, you can let it air dry.
Conclusion
These are all you need when looking for womens wigs. Once you have the measurement, find a style and color that speaks to your personality!
After you have your wigs, don’t forget to maintain them to make them last longer.
