Choosing the Right Wig For You

Choosing a wig can be a complicated and difficult process. Losing your own hair is never easy, but with a little help, you can choose a wig that you will feel comfortable and attractive wearing. Now is your chance to experiment with new styles and colors you wouldn't have with your natural hair.

You should know whether you want a human hair or synthetic wig. The difference between the two is the amount of effort they take in styling. Human hair wigs are a little harder to take care of and do not come pre-styled, so you will have to straighten or curl it just as you would your own hair. Synthetic wigs, on the other hand, are much easier to handle. Just set it on your head and go! If you really loved styling your hair in the past, you may enjoy the human hair wigs, but if you like the ease of the "shake-n-go," stick with synthetic.

If you've never considered a shorter hairstyle, now might be a good time to try it. Not only is it a fun new option, but shorter wigs are also easier to take care of. They require no combing or finger styling at all. You can always get a longer one if you don't like how it looks.

Most people prefer wigs that match their natural hair color, but maybe you've always wanted your hair to be a shade darker or lighter. Feel free to experiment. Ask friends, family, even a local hair stylist for suggestions on your new hair color and style.
