How to choose your first wig

With millions of people wearing wigs every day, you are definitely not alone. In fact, today's top celebrities don't just wear wigs on red carpets and movies, but in everyday life as well. If this is your first time wearing a wig, you can learn some tips here to help you choose the right wig for you.

For your first wig, you should consider wearing something that better matches your current or previous hairstyle. Using something you are familiar with will make the ongoing maintenance and styling of your hair easier.

Many wigs can be styled differently, so you can always consider taking your wig to a salon that specializes in wig care, or do it yourself later.

How to take my measurements

Before you start measuring your head, make sure your hair is all pinned and laid flat (with or without a wig cap). Your hair must be prepared the same way you prepared it before using the wig. This will remove the bulge that distorts the outline of the head. Use a tape measure to measure. Most lace wigs are measured in inches. Do not stretch the tape measure while measuring. When measuring, keep the tape measure outside your natural hairline.

Moving on to factors about choosing your first wig, here are 5 factors that can help you find the perfect wig to make you more beautiful: hairstyle, length, texture, color and flip.

What is your face shape?

When choosing a wig style, the main consideration is not your personal preference. Instead, you should carefully consider which type of wig is best for your face shape.

Even though you may prefer a certain wig style, the most important thing to remember is which wig will best shape your head and face.

This will help you determine the length, texture and overall style of the wig to choose from.

length

Available in 3 lengths: short wig, medium length wig and long wig

Short wigs are better for areas or if you feel like your body is always hot.

The longer the wig (just like the longer your hair), the more heat it absorbs, and you'll feel warmer throughout the day.

Short wigs are easier to maintain, dry faster, style faster and cost less. (But the choice is yours, don't let money get in the way of getting the look you want.

texture

Wavy: Flowing and bouncy, but not frizzy.

Curl: Heat friendly, spring back like tights.

color

There is no shortage of variations in wig color, however, finding the exact color that matches you or your original hair color can be a tricky task.

If this is your first wig, you may want to consider keeping it closer to your natural hair color. You can always try new, different colors in the future. It's also important to keep your natural skin tone in mind when choosing a wig color.
