How to Make Synthetic Wigs Look Natural

When you ask hairstylists for their secret in keeping up with frequently-
changing hairstyles, most of them will answer, "Wigs". In the world of
fashion and entertainment, wigs are one of the most valuable possessions.

HUMAN HAIR WIGS

There are two categories of wigs: human hair wigs and synthetic wigs. These
two wig types differ in arrangement and composition of hair strands.

Human hair wigs often have natural hair strands that are individually woven
into the wig cap. On the other hand, synthetic wigs are made up of animal
hair and processed human hair. The most commonly used animal hairs are horse
hair, buffalo hair, and yak hair. They are mixed with processed human hair.

Synthetic strands are woven into the cap in clusters. Commonly, wigs with
colored and styled strands are synthetic wigs. Examples of these are curly
blonde wigs, straight red wigs, and bob-cut wigs.

Most people prefer synthetic wigs because these require little maintenance
and are inexpensive. The costs for short-strand and shoulder-length
synthetics may reach up to $60. Conversely, human hair wigs can cost up to
hundreds of dollars. The price difference may be due to the fact that human
hair wigs look more natural than synthetic wigs. Nevertheless, you can also
make your synthetic wig appear natural. The wig's appearance depends on how
you take care of it. Here are some hints and tips to make your synthetic wig
appear as natural as human hair wigs.


First, reduce the amount of wig shine on synthetic wigs. Synthetic wigs have
processed and simulated hair strands. Manufacturers use chemicals to enhance
their luster and texture. They use wig shine to make strands look polished
and glossy. However, some wigs are saturated with wig shine. Apply a small
amount of baby powder on the wig's strands. Gently massage the powder onto
the wig surface. This will soak up some of the wig shine.

Second, thin down your wig. Some synthetic wigs look very thick and dense.
When you put the wig on, it appears obvious that you're using an artificial
hairpiece.  Bring your wig to professional hairstylists. They can trim down
some hair strands from your wig.

Third, choose a wig that perfectly fits. Synthetic wigs look best when they
fit snugly on your head. Measure your head and hairline perimeter. By
knowing these measurements, you can determine which wig fits you best.
