(Newswire.net — October 18, 2022) — Finding the right wig can be difficult, but the first step is identifying your hair type. If you’re good with combing or styling a daily or weekly occurrence, synthetic full lace wigs might be all you need to keep your style. Most wigs with lace front areas need a lot more attention to make them look good, and they lack the maintenance of synthetic wigs or human hair. Here we’ll discuss four tips for finding the right type of wig for your hair type.

1. Choosing the Wig Styles

Wigs are either full lace wigs or synthetic wigs. Synthetic wigs never need to be heavily styled. You can put them up, take them down and sleep on them. They are always ready to look good and feel comfortable. Full lace wigs have parts woven into an elastic netting around your head. These are commonly called a bonnet, a veil, or a cap. These parts can be replaced so you can wear the same style all the time, allowing you to change your hairstyle and color.

2. Wig Color

There are many types of colors available in synthetic wigs. The colors are often chosen from a swatch of fabric. These colors cannot be customized. Full lace wigs can be ordered with custom colors from various dyes and come in various lengths and thicknesses.

Matching the wig’s color to your hair color is essential for a good match. Darker natural hair and wig colors are more challenging to reach. Light-colored wigs and darker natural hairs are easier to match. The wig’s color can be easily changed by brushing or shampooing it, so if you choose a lighter-colored wig, you can always dye it to your liking.

3. Head Size

A wig will never fit perfectly on your head. The most important thing is to make sure it doesn’t fall off when you move your head or flop down to remove it. It can be adjusted to fit your head regardless of your measurements. If the wig doesn’t fit your head, it’s not the right wig for you. You want to ensure that it provides comfort, even if it doesn’t match your natural hair color. If you wear a cap during sleep, measure around your head and see how much extra length you will need for a larger hat.

4. Cap Construction

Wigs are available in different cap types but are typically constructed with a net or foam. A foam cap is a less expensive alternative but can be heavy and uncomfortable. You want to ensure the wig will fit correctly and that your head size matches the sizing chart on the package. A good quality front synthetic full lace wig is made from 100% fiber with a mono top for added strength.

Finding the right wig can be difficult, but once you match your wig to your hair type, the right fit will be a breeze. The tips will help you find the right look based on your hair’s behavior, whether you are wearing a lace front or a synthetic wig.
