Wigs: The Facts: Washing synthetic wigs? First, gently brush out the wig to remove any tangles (unless the wig is extremely curly and/or it came with a tag telling you that it shouldn't be brushed). Most of the longer styles will become quite matted towards the back, and it may be necessary to gently separate the tangled strands with your fingers. TIP: Apply wig spray as Lubricant to aid brushing and easy removal of any tangles. When the wig is ready to be washed, fill the sink with about 2 quarts of cool water. Never use hot water, as this could relax the curl that was set into the wig during the manufacturing process. Pour about 2 capfuls of synthetic wig shampoo into the water and then submerge the wig. When the wig is fully wet, swish it around for about a minute and then let soak for about another minute. TIP: Leave the wig to soak in the shampoo and water for 5 minutes before washing. This will loosen any stubborn debris and require less rubbing friction. Repeat the washing process if you feel that the first wash has not fully cleansed the hair or fibre. Remove the wig and rinse in cold water until no suds remain. Then place the wig on a bath towel to completely dry overnight, or you may place it on a folding wig stand, which will speed up the drying process. It is all right to blot the wig with a towel, but don¿t twist the wig or ring it out. You can use your fingers to gently separate and arrange the strands as the wig is drying, but don¿t try to comb or brush the wig while still wet. The fibers could be stretched to the breaking point. Tip: Always rinse the shampoo off with the water flowing in the direction of the hair fibre. Lightly spray conditioner onto the wig after towel drying to aid later brushing and to return oils lost through the washing procedure. If you wish, you can use a spray-on conditioner on the wig while damp. Work the conditioner through the strands with your fingers, NOT a brush or comb. When the wig is completely dry, you can brush it and style it as you usually would. If you¿d like to put a bit of curl back into your wig, read on. While re-curling a wig is possible, it can be very time-consuming if it is a very curly style. The best curlers to use are soft sponge rollers, and choosing the size will, of course depend upon the tightness of the curl that is desired. First, slightly dampen the wig with cool water and then put in the rollers. It is important to get each strand combed through before rolling it up to avoid any unsightly ¿kinks¿ when the curler is removed. Once the wig is all set, run HOT water all over it until fully saturated, then gently squeeze each roller to remove excess water. Let the wig dry completely before removing the rollers. Towel blot your wig. DO NOT PUT YOUR WIG IN A STYRO WIG HEAD TO DRY! The wig will have a tendency to stretch when wet. Lay your wig on a towel hair side up and let dry. Turn the wig over when the fiber is dry to complete drying inside. If you place the wig outside I the sunshine, it should dry approximately in one hour. If you place your wig inside, you should leave it overnight to dry. Drying time also depends on the length and thickness of your wig. ** In humid conditions or when time is of the essence, place wig on a towel in front of a fan. Once completely dry, carefully take out the rollers and you should have a nicely re-curled wig! Please be aware the hot water actually will take the curl completely out of a wig unless the rollers are in place, as it acts as a relaxer (kind of like a perm) which softens the fiber to the point that it can take on the new shape of the roller. So...if you decide to just re-curl the wig in a certain spot or two, it is really important to avoid getting any hot water on the rest of the wig!!! One word of warning: don¿t ever use any type of electric styling appliance on your synthetic fiber wig, thinking that this will be quicker than the method described above. Even on the coolest settings, a blow dryer, hot rollers, and curling irons will frizz the fibers, and may even melt them, therefore ruining the wig. Washing human hair wigs? Draw enough lukewarm water in a large pan or bowl to cover the wig or hairpiece well. Dissolve a capful of wig shampoo, along with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Squeeze shampoo solution through hair gently, keeping hair going in one direction or it may tangle. If front of cap has makeup on it, it may be scrubbed gently with an old toothbrush. Rinse wig well with plenty of lukewarm water. Dissolve a capful or so of wig conditioner in plastic tub or pan of water to cover well. Work mixture through wig hair (remember: same direction). Rinse with fresh water. Lay wig out on towel and pat out excess water. Pin on wig form and pick or comb out gently. At this point, a detangler may be used. If working on a long wig, start combing out the hair at the ends and work up the strand to the roots. Wig may be set in rollers if desired and placed under hood dryer, or left to dry overnight. A hot curling iron may be used on 100% human hair wigs, but on human-synthetic blend wigs, don't let the iron get too hot or it will damage the synthetic wig fiber. Human hair or Synthetic? Synthetic hair is not sussceptible to the elements and is less likely to lose it's style and shape, it is easier to dry and less likely to knot. Just a few things to bear in mind when making your decision. How to wear? Brush your hair back, and if you have one, put on a wig cap. Choose a cap closer to the colour of your wig, not the colour of your hair. Pull the two plastic hooks together and adjust to fit. Put the wig on front first and then pull over the back, align the tabs on the wig with your temples, and for a more secure fit, attach pins to pin to the wig cap. Make sure these are placed so that they are hidden. http://www.tgirlshomeshopping.com

Here are 3 simple steps to measure your head in order to determine your wig cap size: Before you measure, make sure to flatten your hair. This will help take into consideration the fact that you will probably be wearing a mesh wig cap liner beneath your wig for a more comfortable and secure fit. Use a cloth measuring tape, being sure not to pull the tape measure too tight. Just rest the tape over or around your head. Pulling the tape measure too tight will stretch the tape and will not give you an accurate measurment. While it is important to get an accurate measurement to determine your wig cap size, keep in mind that most wigs have tabs which allow up to one inch of adjustment for a more secure fit. 1) Measure Around Your Head: Measure the total distance around your head starting at your natural hairline in the front, to just above your ears, and around the back to the bend of your neck and to the front of your head. 2) Measure Front to Back: Bend your head back. Then measure from your natural hairline in the front of your forehead, back over the crown to the bend where your head meets the top of your neck. 3) Measure Ear to Ear: Measure at the top front of one ear, lay the tape measure up and over the crown of your head to the same position on your other ear. The 3 measurements listed above will determine the circumference, the depth and width of your wig cap and allow you to choose your correct size. The following sizes should be used as a guide only, as cap sizes may vary by manufactorer. *Head Size - Child: (19" Around the Head) (12" Front to Back) (12" Ear to Ear). *Head Size - Petite: (21" Around the Head) (13 1⁄4" Front to Back) (13" Ear to Ear). *Head Size - Petite/Average: (21.5" Around the Head) (13 3/4" Front to Back) (13 1/4"Ear to Ear). *Head Size Average: (22" Around the Head) (14 1/4" Front to Back) (13 1/4" Ear to Ear). *Head Size Average/Large: (22.5" Around the Head) (14 3/4" Front to Back) (13 3/4" Ear to Ear). *Head Size Large: (23" Around the Head) (15 1/4" Front to Back) (14" Ear to Ear). How To Put Your Wig On. 1) Take the wig out of the box, shake it gently to loosen fibers. 2) Find the front and the back of wig (remember the label goes in back). 3) Brush your own hair back, securing any longer pieces with a hair pin and place a wig cap over your head (keeps your existing hair from falling and the wig securely in place. 4) Grasp the wig at the top and slip it over your head from hairline to back. 5) Adjust wig so that the edges meet with your own natural hairline. 6) The wig should feel secure but no too tight. If necessary, adjust the back elastic straps with hooks toward the inner label for tightening, and away from the label if you need to loosen it. 7) Style as you would your own hair, keeping in mind to be gentle with the hair. Most wigs will require some cutting and styling to create the individual wearer's desired effect. A professional wig stylist who can help you achieve your look and teach you how to use various approved wig care products is preferred. Remember, you would be best to take off too little than too much as it will not grow back. Styling and Maintenance of Your Wig. 1) Cleaning Your Wig: - Brush the wig thoroughly, remembering not to pull too hard on the hair fibers. - Fill your sink or basin with cold or luke warm water, adding shampoo specifically designed for synthetic hair, or shampoo for color treated hair. - Let your wig soak for 5-10 minutes. You can move the wig around in a gentle motion, but do not rub it. - Rinse in cold or luke warm water until thoroughly rinsed. - Generously apply conditioner to the wig, working it through with fingertips. - Rinse again until all conditioner is removed from the wig. - Gently blot the wig with a towel. Do not rub. - Run your fingertips through the wig fibers without pulling to loosen any tangles or knots. - Place the wig on a wig stand to air dry. If the wig is human hair, you can use a blow dryer, but it is recommended you use a wig stand as well to preserve the wigs longevity. 2) Styling of Synthetic Wigs: - If upon receiving your wig, you find you need it altered or restyled, it is advised you take it to a professional stylist to achieve the desired effect. Do not fuss with the styling of a synthetic wig, as most often a simple shake it and go method works just fine. Hence, these were made specifically for ready to wear. You can of course, clip and pin different sections to your liking for a change of style, but as you get used to the wig, you will most likely find that you do not have to do anything if at all in maintaining it's style. For curly wigs, use a pick or comb to loosen fibers, but do not pull on the hair. 3) Styling of Human Hair Wig: - If upon receiving your wig, you find you need it altered or restyled, it is advised you take it to a profession stylist to achieve the desired effect. After air drying or using a blow dryer with the hair completely dry, use a wider tooth comb or brush, starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. Remember it is human hair, and it too can get split ends if not treated delicately. Place the wig on it's wig stand and use hot rollers or a curling iron on a low setting to style the hair to your liking. 4) Storing Your Wig: - Store your wig on a wig stand in a clean, damp free and heat free environment. This will ensure it stay tangle and soil free between wearing, as well as maintain the wig's style.

A good costume wig will complete any costume. They have the power to transform the mundane into something attractive, or, if you wish, they can do just the opposite by making something very ugly that’s normally beautiful. After applying your wig, (which only takes a few seconds), it will draw attention and admirations for the entire evening. Party goers have used wigs for centuries to recreate a certain era, style, or idea, and today they’re as popular as ever. In fact, they’re available in party stores and online super shopping centers—which makes buying a wig that meets your tastes, needs, and budget easier than ever before. Wigs range in cost from almost nothing to hundreds of dollars. The price variation is due to the fact that costume wigs are made out of a variety of different materials. The cheapest wigs are made out of synthetics that appear to be similar to real hair, but they don’t act or feel like the real thing at all. They’ll be good for a couple of parties or so, but after that the wig will be so ragged and disfigured that you’ll have to get a new one. Better wigs are made out of Japanese Kanekalon fiber which is soft and supple and provides a natural look and feel. But the best wigs are, of course, made out of real hair. You’ll pay a lot of money to wear one of these wigs, but many think it’s worth the cost because it makes their costumes seem very realistic. And if properly cared for, genuine wigs will last a very long time. Where is it appropriate to wear a costume wig? Costume wigs are great for Halloween parties, theatrical costumes, dress ups, Mardi Gras, and for being fun and crazy on a Friday night. They can even be worn during religious and ceremonial events to attain a traditional look. What kinds of wigs are available? It depends on where you look. Selections in traditional bricks-and-mortar stores are limited, but it you look online, you’ll find pretty much anything you want. And I mean anything! Afros, witch wigs, mermaid wigs, Elvira wigs, Marie Antoinette wigs, Colonial wigs, and celebrity look-a-like wigs, such as Halle Berry wigs, Ahslee Simpson wigs, and Snoop Dog wigs, are all easily accessible on the internet. In addition to wigs, there are costume beards and moustaches for men. No costume is complete without a quality wig. It will reconfigure you’re hair into something completely crazy, beautiful, classy, or unexpected—it’s your choice.

You want to look good; you've bought a new wig and are all ready for the grand makeover. In all the joy of trying out the new look you forget to enquire how to keep your good wig looking great. Well, here's how you can keep your lace wig in perfect condition. Lace wigs are lightweight, comfortable and give you the perfect look. When you first receive the lace wig put your hands inside the wig and give it a gentle shake. This will loosen and open out hair. If the hair is straight use a wig brush to gently comb it through. If it is a curly wig, simply run your fingers through the hair. Washing You can wear your lace wigs for up to 30 wearing or 6 weeks depending on the adhesive used. If you use the wig in harsher environments like strong direct sunlight or smoky conditions you must wash the wig more often. The best way to know when your wig needs a wash is if it gets sticky, tangled and seems lifeless. It's just like your own hair so you will know when it is time. Gently brush the wig at the bottom to untangle any knots. Soak the wig for a few minutes and then wash with a wig shampoo in the washbasin. Never out it in the washing machine. End with a rinse. Be gentle at all times. Drying To dry, pat the wig with a towel. Remember, never wring the hair or else it will loose shape. Don't air dry it or comb when dripping wet as well. Hang the wig on a wig stand to dry. You can spray a wig conditioner and then gently use your fingers to smoothen it out. Use Proper Products Your lace wigs have been treated with care. You must use only dedicated and specially formulated wig care products like shampoos, conditioners and brushes. Often you may come across certain products, which are advertised as being mild and delicate like baby care products for example. These are definitely not suitable for your wigs. They may actually make your wig dull and loose their colour. Do not use hairbrushes with nylon bristles especially on curly wigs. The curls will open out. Avoid hairspray, mousse and permanent hair colors as well. Also remember to use the products correctly and in right quantities. Avoid Damaging Agents Excessive heat and cold can play havoc with your wig. Avoid direct heat from ovens, blow dryers and clothes dryers, hot boiling water, barbeques and such objects. You can wear a cloth on your head to minimize any effect. If you are caught in the rain, snow or steam like conditions just wait for your wig to dry before you do anything. Avoid Friction It is preferred that you remove your wig when sleeping. Friction with the pillow or high furniture, car headrests etc can cause wear and tear and cut short the life of your wig. Just bear these points in mind and you can have great looking lace wigs that last for a long time.

It seems every generation has a female superstar that is idolized. Some of us can remember - or at least we have been told that Marilyn Monroe was one such person. She was beautiful and her hair was unique. So what happened? There was a sudden demand for Marilyn Monroe wigs. Another such idol was Dolly Parton. Not only does she have a unique and beautiful voice but she is pretty and her hair/wigs styles are appealing. In recent times Hannah Montana has reached superstardom - at least with young females. And her trademark wig is also idolized. It seems every little girl's fantasy is to look like Hannah Montana. Where there are customer demands there are always wise entrepreneurs/business owners ready to meet those requests. It's undeniable that little girls love playing dress-up. The way they choose to dress during this play depends on who or what they desire to impersonate. For many little girls the choice is obvious - they want to dress-up to be Hannah Montana. In order to look like Hannah the most essential item required is the infamous wig. Therefore many parents across the nation have been on a quest for just that. Of course there are plenty of blonde wigs available on the market, but if it isn't labeled as a Hannah Montana wig it just isn't the same. Although parents may not always find the wigs at their local department store they can easily be found on eBay. The key is to only order after checking a photo to ensure that you are getting the right look. Hannah Montana's hair is a rich blonde with honey highlights. Although Hannah is known for her long straight hair there are times that she has a few waves or textures to the style. However, the sought after wigs have straight hair. The wigs should provide a comfortable fit but also be snug enough to stay in place. Hiding existing (natural) hair usually is not a problem because the wig style is long and has bangs across the forehead. Many girls find that in addition to playtime the wigs can be worn to parties and concerts. During Halloween the Hannah Montana theme seems to be everywhere one looks, as it is a favorite costume. In order to keep the wigs looking great for a long time it is important that they be cared for properly and handled appropriately. Since the hair is long and the wearer is likely to be dancing during the wear-time tangles may develop. An occasional gentle combing may be needed. Ideally the wig will be kept on a mannequin head. This will help the cap to maintain its shape and also help to keep the hair from getting tangled. If a mannequin head is not available the wig should be carefully placed in a box that allows the hair to lay straight or the wig can even be clipped to a clothes hanger in order to allow the hair to hang freely. If needed, a plastic bag can be cut at the bottom and placed over the hanger to cover the wig. Curling irons and other heat units should not be used on the wigs. Since the hair is synthetic heat may lead to melting the individual strands. The wigs will eventually need to be cleaned. Keep in mind that warm or hot water should never be used. There are shampoos and conditioners made specifically for synthetic wigs. Mix the shampoo with (cool or cold) water in the sink and then submerge the wig. Gently move the wig around in the water. Afterward gently rinse the wig in cool or cold water followed by blotting the hair dry with a towel. Never use a blow dryer. Allow the wig to air dry. You can either spread the wig out on a towel or hang it up, or place it on the mannequin. Synthetic wig conditioners are put on the wigs while damp. They are not rinsed out. After the wig is dry you may need to gently comb the hair to avoid tangles. Only use styling products made specifically for synthetic wigs. With proper care the wig should last through many, many hours of dress-up and fun!

Have you ever wondered what the secret is to the incredible hair of celebrities? Some have naturally beautiful hair but most obtain their gorgeous locks with the help of wigs and hair extensions. With the help of professional stylists, celebrities achieve their glamorous signature look. In a world where first impressions and beauty are everything, wigs and hair extensions are essential in helping celebrities create their glamorous allure. With the proper extensions, you can obtain immediate hair volume for tresses that are otherwise unimpressive and dull. Alternatively, the appropriate wigs can disguise a bad haircut or even baldness. Carefully chosen extensions or hairpieces are definitely the preferred choice in dealing with hair issues. Once you have purchased the wig or extensions that will enhance your look, you should protect your investment by caring for your products properly. Proper care can extend the life of your wig or extensions. There are several essential guidelines for proper wig / extension care. Firstly, It’s absolutely critical to not sleep on wet hair if you have hair extensions. Be sure to always dry your hair thoroughly prior to going to bed. To ensure your extensions do not tangle, put your hair in a ponytail or braid prior to going to sleep. When washing your hair, stay away from extended contact with chlorine. If possible, put on your shower cap– it will guard you against the effects of chlorine. Swimming is generally not recommended, but a swim cap may be used if you are going to swim. It is important to wash and condition your hair right after your swim session to prevent your extensions from having extended exposure to chlorine. Avoid any exposure to chemicals to lessen the extensions exposure to damaging substances. For daily care, shampoo and condition them as you would your own hair. You’ll want to keep your extensions free from the natural oils of your scalp. Synthetic and Human Hair pieces require different attention than hair extensions. Wig care focuses more on the washing process. Synthetic hairpieces need to be washed in lukewarm water with gentle shampoo specifically for synthetic hair. Shake the wig softly in the water. Dip it in very gently and then soak it completely in water. When removing your wig from the water, shake it delicately and let it drip dry. We advise against the use of blow dryers, heat rollers or curling irons. Synthetic wigs are not to be styled with heat-styling tools and use of them on your wig can leave permanent damage. Never brush your wig when it is wet. Only style your wig after it has completely dried. If your wig has curls, we recommend leaving them intact and not brushing them out. Once the wig has dried completely, the curls will re-form. Your wig is still versatile and you can style it many ways without the use of heat styling tools. A good quality hairspray will do all the styling work for any of your synthetic wigs. A good professional hairstylist can also create the desired style for your wig without any effort on your part. Protect your investment toward beauty and the new glamorous you. With some extra care and attention in maintaining your wigs and hair extensions, they will last much longer than expected. Proper care for your hair extensions and wigs is caring for your looks

Many people today experience stress from a busy daily agenda or a demanding job schedule. This can cause them to constantly feel drained of both energy and time. It is this common stress factor that can cause “hair loss” patterns among almost anyone. Luckily for those who suffer these symptoms, there are now stores like Vogue Wigs, a place where you can shop online for the best quality wigs discretely, in the comfort of your home. Wigs are, effectively, artificial arrays of human or synthetic hair intended to hide balding spots or cover up excessive hair loss. They are also commonly used in Hollywood by actors and models to look the certain part in a movie or advertising role. Some members of the “glamour” crowd take such a liking to wigs or hair extensions that they wear them off-camera too to enhance their public image. Everyday there is more publicity about wigs in popular women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan and InStyle. At an online wig store, you can browse a wide selection of human hair, synthetic, and even trendy African American wigs. Whatever your hair needs or budget, you can find a wig that will be just right for you. Online wig stores offer all the best brands available on the market today. Although not every store may carry the brand you are looking for, you shouldn’t always limit your search to the same old wig brands either. Look for a store with an established reputation of selling hairpieces, so that you can find a shop a good selection and also benefit from experienced customer service. If you are on a tighter budget, you can look out for special wig sales to take advantage of even greater savings. Most wig stores have a discount section. For the more budget conscious, coupons may be available too depending on the season or holiday. If you have any questions about wigs, it is always a good idea to find out as much information as possible before your purchase. Most online wig stores offer a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section to answer common first-time-buyer concerns. Both new customers and experienced wig buyers can benefit from the information offered on these pages. If the information is not on the page, then emailing the wig seller can help you determine how good their customer service is. Depending on your satisfaction with their response, you can conclude whether you want to buy products from them. For many people who use them frequently, wigs are more than a luxury accessory. For these people, wigs have become a necessity for everyday life or work appearance. Each person has developed a special sense for the type of hairpiece which suits their personality. Regardless of which qualities you are searching for, the vast array of products available in a reliable wig store is certain to provide you with many options to consider. Even if you are very set in hairstyle, you may stumble upon a new style which may give you the opportunity to try something different.

AHalloween costume wig can turn a frumpy costume into a fantastic one. When you select a wig, consider your costume as well as the image you want to convey. A costume can go from tame to tantalizing with just the flip of a wig. It's all in the hair, honey. Why a Wig? You may be asking, "Why a wig?" Well, Halloween is a time for fun and fantasy. Face it, Halloween is just as much fun for the adults as it is for the kids - only the candy is a little different. A Halloween costume wig can take your look to the next level. Wigs make it easy to change your look in an instant with little effort. If you are normally a brunette haired homemaker, why not don a French maid costume and an auburn wig? Hello mamma! Ooh la la! Types of wigs The beauty of wigs is that they come in every conceivable color, length and style. You can select a blonde wig with long, wavy hair or a short and sassy brunette wig. Take your look to Funkytown with an afro wig or go for the glitz with a silver halo of curls. You are only limited by your own imagination. Selecting your Wig Selecting a Halloween costume wig is a little different from choosing an everyday wig. Since you will not likely wear the wig on a daily basis, you don't have to be quite so specific on fit, but you do want it to be comfortable. Your Halloween costume wig should be a little snug so that it won't fall off, but it should not bind or cut into your skin. Some wigs are actually hair pieces and can be simply pinned into the natural hair. Be a Bombshell with a Blonde Wig A blonde wig can give your costume some vavava voom! Whether short and flirty or long and sleek, you can give your look a golden touch. Remember in the movie "Pretty Woman" where Vivian wore the blonde wig and it gave her a really sexy look? Well, it doesn't just work for movie stars; it can work for you too. Find your Funk with an Afro Wig If you want to give your costume a cool flair, get an afro wig. Straight from the seventies' disco era, a "natural" or afro wig brings life and fun to your look. Whether it is close to the head or long and wild, you will definitely get a reaction! Match your Wig to your Costume Your Halloween costume wig should match your costume. While it is certainly fine to let your wig throw a fun spin on your costume, you don't want something that is so conflicting that it is difficult to look at or just looks bad. Try it all on together, wig, costume, everything; before you commit. Sweet or Sexy: It's all in the Wig! So you want a sweet look or do you want to go all goth and vampish? Well, it is all in the wig. Think about the look or mood that you want to convey, then it is a matter of putting it together. Now, whether you go with the wig first, or the costume is just a matter of the chicken or the egg. It makes no difference. Do what works for you then hit that Halloween party and have an awesome time!

The reason of wearing a wig depends on the individuals. Some wear wig as a fashion statement, some wear wig just for fun, and some wear wig to cover thinning hair or bald areas. Whatever the reason is, someone should learn how to pick the right wig so that it is a worth buying. The first thing to consider is how frequent you want to use the wig. If it is for a daily use, you might need to spend a little bit more. In general, the higher the price the better the quality of the wig and the longer its life spans. If you just want to use the wig for once in a while occasion, pick those less expensive. The wig for a daily use should be light, fine and has air circulation through the wig and scalp. Therefore, the wig is suitable to be wear for a long time in a day. The second thing to consider is how you are going to style the wig. If you want to color, curl or perm the wig, then you should go for a human hair wig. Though it is more expensive then the synthetic wig but you will be satisfied with the ability to alter the style anytime. The third thing to consider is what types of wig suit you best. Is it the full wig or the 3/4 wig or the clip-on wig? If you want to try a wig which is different from your own hair color, then you can pick the full wig. It will cover you head entirely. If you have hair color that almost exactly like the wig’s color, than 3/4 wig could be the best option for you. You still have your original hair visible, but as they blend together it will look very natural. Another option for those having the same color as the wig is the clip-on wig. You can comb your hair to the back, tied it and then put on the clip-on wig. The fourth thing to consider is which style of wig suits the shape of your face. If you have a round shaped face, a linear and long hair style suit you best. If you have a diamond shaped face, a short chin-length style suit you best. If you have an oblong shaped face, a soft curl around the neck or a long front hair that swipe you face suit you best. If you have an oval shaped face, any style, layered of texture can fit into you. If you have a square shaped face, a curly texture or a straight style suit you best. It is important that you incorporate the above tips into your decision making before buying your wig. Shop around and make the very wise purchase. Good Luck!

Whether they chose cheap wigs or very expensive ones, all new wig owners raise a few questions about how they should handle and style their new fashion accessories. As with every new purchased item, people want to know how to use and take care of their wigs in order to maximize their investment. African american wigs are worn just like any other wigs, although long-length hairpieces may require a bit more effort at first. In order to put on a wig correctly you will first need to give it a gentle shake. Then you will need to identify the back and the front of the wig. There may also be some Velcro tabs or hook tabs used for sizing but for now you should ignore them; they are to be adjusted later, if necessary. Next you should place the wig on a flat surface so that you are looking on the inside of it. Even cheap wigs have the label sewn to the inside, so make sure it is at the top (labels are always sewn at the back of the wig). Place your hands on each side of the label and grasp the wig. Slip it over your head; always start at the hairline and then towards the neck. If you do this correctly you will have the front of the wig lying on the front hairline. The wig should feels snug but not overly tight; if you need to, you can use the fitting tabs to adjust the size. Once you have mastered the technique of putting on your wig properly, you are ready to style it. Remember that styling greatly depends on the type of hair that the wig is made of. Cheap wigs are made from synthetic hair, while expensive ones are made with either a combination of synthetic and human hair, or 100% human hair. You can style your wig using a wig brush, comb or even your fingernails. You should know that there are brushes and combs especially designed for wigs; never use hair tools designed for human hair as they can create tension that can damage the hair. You should also avoid combing curly african american wigs as this is likely to deteriorate the style. The simplest thing you can do to style your wig is to spray some cool, clean water over it. This removes static electricity and makes the wig return to its original style. You can also use some mousse or styling gel that is designed for wigs. If you have a straight wig you can simply mousse it and brush lightly; or you could add height by lifting the hair with the wig comb. For curly african american wigs you should hand scrunch and then pick the style into curls. Don’t worry if you are not satisfied with the results; you can wash the wig and allow it to dry over night and it will return to its initial look. Styling wigs should be limited to simple procedures. Even cheap wigs have had their hairs ventilated much like how real hair grows, so dramatically changing the wig style will only damage it permanently. However, if you still wish to significantly restyle your wig it is recommended that you take it to a professional stylist.

How does their website look? If it looks amateurish, in need of a makeover, why select them for your lace wig makeover? An ecommerce web site is like a brick and mortar business. (A brick and mortar business is a business with a physical location where a consumer may walk in and purchase goods and services.) Their physical presentation on the Internet would be exactly the same in person if their business was a brick and mortar location. I am sure you would not purchase an expensive item from an ill looking store visited. When an ecommerce web site cannot and will not invest in their own appearance, why would they invest in yours? Where are the contact telephone numbers and what are are the hours of operation? If you do happen to stumble upon a web site that takes the time to build a comfortable environment for you (their ecommerce web site), how can you reach them for questions? Is this fancy web site like a posh boutique where the attendees may linger in the back until you call for them and when you call for them, do they answer? If you are unable to reach this lace wig seller before the sale, it is unlikely they will be available after the sale. It is best to stay away from email contact only lace wig seller web sites. As with everything, email may be fallible. Waiting on an emailed response is pain staking. Purchasing your perfect lace wig requires more than an email address as the solo point of contact. At least think about the amount you are spending. Is not your purchase worth more than just an email contact? You have a telephone number for a wig seller. Great! Let’s call them. Oh! They are only open from 9 AM to 3 PM or 9 AM to 5 PM. Most people work during these hours. I am sure your employer would not be happy to learn you are spending working hours on the telephone handling personal affairs. Moreover, think about the whispering you will have to do while talking to these lace wig sellers with limited support hours at work. Some of us would not want our coworkers knowing we wear a wig. Being able to call from the comfort of your home is a tremendous benefit! After all, hours such as 9 AM to 5 PM are banker’s hours and many of us know how hard it is to work around this schedule. Why should you work around a lace wig seller’s schedule? Their goal should be to assist and support you. 9 AM to 5 PM are luxury hours to a company bent on accommodating themselves, not you. Hours of operation is also a dead giveaway as to which lace wig web sites are being run by part time hobbyists or a full time corporation. Are there a lot of pictures for every lace wig they sell and how do they look? The drawback to buying online is that you miss out on the ability to touch and feel tangible products. This is where a top notch lace wig seller goes above and beyond in order to give you a virtual touch and feel. Notice the number of pictures taken of each lace wig. Notice the camera angels used in each picture. Notice the pixel quality. Do the pictures have different background colors that look like a hodgepodge possibly snatched from other web sites? Lace wig sellers that do not take the time to give you a lot of pictures of their lace wigs are not taking the time and effort needed to showcase every aspect of the product to you. This may mean there is something to hide. You cannot gather a clear idea of exactly what you are buying. Additionally, with the wide variety of ethnicities purchasing lace wigs, has this lace wig seller shown how their wigs look on various complexions? A top notch lace wig seller will give you variety in several pictures. How well are you treated? If you are able to get a telephone number from a lace wig seller and are also able to call them within their allotted hours of operation, how they treat you is important. Do they refer you back to their web site when you ask a question? Are you being rushed off the telephone? Purchasing a lace wig is a detailed process. You want to make sure that you have chosen the most perfect wig. This includes fit, hair origin, and construction options. Your relationship with your wig seller should be the same as the one with your physician. Lace wigs are a personal product where intimate topics and personal considerations will be discussed. Their customer service and confidentiality with your questions show care and respect. The goal for every lace wig seller should be relationship building. Many business owners fail to realize that consumers are worth more than their weight in platinum. The lifetime value of a consumer is important to a business’s growth. How much do they know about lace wigs? With lace wigs being today’s hottest trend, many people that have set up shop by creating an ecommerce site have little knowledge about lace wigs. Is the information on their web site easy to understand or do you need a cosmetology license to decipher their “code speak”? Scour the lace wig seller’s web site for FAQ (frequently asked questions) or a glossary. When a lace wig seller takes the time to create and maintain a FAQ and glossary section this shows a bit of their knowledge and effort to educate you on their product and services. Also keep in mind that on the Internet, any web site may look as if a genius runs it. Call them and ask questions. This is a fool proof way of experiencing not only what they think about their customers but how much they know about lace wigs. A top notch lace wig seller should be devoted to helping achieve your new look. Giving you access to a live person during extended hours is essential to being able to build a long term relationship. Lace wigs are an investment. Doing business with a lace wig seller that understands and respects the investment on your behalf in addition to meeting these top five essentials is the lace wig seller to choose.

To make a tinsel hat/wig all you need is... Some tinsel in whatever colour your choose, 4M is more than ample. A stocking or a tight leg and a needle and thread. Start off by cutting the toe from the stocking and disregarding it. Pull the leg part of the stocking over your head so that it sits comfortably in place. The finished hat/wig will end up being a little smaller, pull down the stocking an extra few centimetres, maybe so that it covers your eyebrows. With the stocking still on your head (You don’t look silly at all Ho Ho Ho!) Tie a knot in the surplus stocking hanging at the top of your head. Make the knot small, neat and tight and very close to your head, mid your hair though. This is the base of your hat/wig. Pull the stocking over a football. This keeps the stocking taught, as it would be on your head. Starting at the knot, stitch and secure a length of tinsel to the stocking. Working in circles around the knot, tack the tinsel to the stocking. The stitches can be roughly 3 to 4 CMS apart. If the hat/wig is to be one colour, continue working round in circles until the stocking is covered. For two colours, join the second length of tinsel next to the first and take it in turns with the colours to make circles. The tinsel will spiral down the stocking. Continue in this way until the stocking is covered in tinsel. Did you know that in the old days wigs were not just worn as a fashion accessory but they also hid skin diseases and head lice - Yew!
