Do you want to be a blonde one day and a redhead the next? One way to
do this is to dye your own hair and restyle it, but you can achieve the
same effect with much less effort - just buy a wig. To select a wig that
would be indistinguishable from real human hair and become your favorite
fashion accessory, though, you need to know a few insider tips.
First of all, if you’re worried that a wig will look natural on your
head, never fear! A properly made wig - even the quality synthetic
varieties - can look totally realistic.
Which is best - synthetic or human hair wigs?
Wigs can be synthetic or made from real human hair. Synthetic wigs are
cheaper, but the very cheap ones you can find online don’t look real
enough. On the other hand, high quality synthetic wigs like Revlon, Raquel
Welch or Paula Young wigs look very real. Also,
synthetic wigs are easier to care for, as you don’t need to restyle them
every time you wash them.
Real human hair is in limited supply, so human hair wigs are much more
expensive; typically they several hundred dollars. Human hair wigs look
and feel very natural. However, it is important to know that the quality
of your wig depends on the origin of the hair used. The cheapest hair
comes from Asian countries, but their texture is different from the hair
of European women. The best human hair wigs are made from European hair
but, unfortunately, they cost a small fortune.

What wigs styles are available?
You can get ¾ wigs as well as full wigs. A full wig covers your entire
head, so none of your own hair is visible. This type of wig is great when
you want to try a color different from your own.
A ¾ wig is clipped to the top of your head. Because your original
hairline is visible, the wig looks very natural. Also, your head doesn’t
get "toasted" under a wig cap. On the downside, though, three quarter wigs
have to match your hair color very closely, otherwise it won’t look
convincing. It is best not to buy this type of wig online because the
colors on the color charts are usually not very accurate.
A very interesting style of wig is the headband wig. A headband wig is
a full wig with a headband attached to its front. It is especially useful
if you are always in a hurry, because the headband ensures that none of
your own hair is visible. This style is recommended if your natural hair
is a dramatically different color from the wig.
Wigs come in all shapes and styles - from very short to 30 inches long,
in straight, curly, wavy, braided, layered, spiky or ‘the wet look’. It is
important that you look at many styles before you decide which one your
heart desires.
It is a good idea to have your wigs customized, too. If you can find a
hair salon that can trim your wig to make it fit your face shape, go for
it. Customizing a wig isn’t cheap, of course, but it will make your new
wig look more realistic and suitable for your face.
If you feel like a change, get yourself a wig. It is amazing, how much
having a different hairstyle can transform a person. And for a woman it is
always important to vary her image and look fresh.
