Wigs continue to be a popular choice for people struggling with hair loss due to illness, as well as those who want a new look without drastically changing their own hair, such as many celebrities. Lace wigs in particular have become the hairpiece of choice recently due to their versatility. The most natural look possible is produced by this type of wig which consists of a thin mesh cap worn against the scalp and hair follicles which look like they are growing out of it.
The majority of these wigs are made from human hair which provides more styling options and a more realistic appearance. Full lace units cover the entire head. They can be parted anywhere and styled in a ponytail or updo. Lace front wigs and lace frontals differ in that they feature lace only at the front of the piece, and are used to provide added fullness in the front.
In order for the wig to stay looking good and last for several years, it will need to receive proper care by the wearer. Most can be worn for up to two or three weeks before they require a new application. Wearers who have lost their own hair tend to be able to wear the wig longer because the adhesion is stronger.
Wig caps come in several colors, which should be chosen according to the wearer's natural skintone along the hairline, not the whole body. Transparent is best suited for those with a light complexion, beige is ideal for medium to tan skintone, and light or dark brown is appropriate for those with a darker color skin.
Hair types differ by thickness, sheen, weight, and texture. Wearers who desire a wig which is easy to dye and style may prefer the Chinese remy style, which also offers superb thickness, while those looking for matte waves may choose Mongolian remy, and wearers who want a sleek, silky look are likely to opt for the Indian or Malaysian remy designs.
Wearers must learn the proper method of applying and securing the wig if they want it to look its best. If there is natural hair it should be covered with a wig cap or cornrowed close to the scalp, the lace on the wig will need to be trimmed carefully to fit the hairline correctly, and it must be secured properly with combs and glue. Pulling a few baby hairs or strands of one's own hair through can help make the hairline look more natural too.
It's best to also purchase a wig stand where the unit can rest and hold its shape when not in use. To keep it clean, two spray bottles, one filled with water and shampoo and the other with conditioner and water can be used in that order, combing the solution through and rinsing in between, then blotting the wig dry and allowing it to finish drying on its stand.
Wigs fashioned from human hair can be styled more or less the same as one's natural hair. It is safe to use blow dryers, curlers, curling irons, and straighteners on remy hair wigs, but it's not advisable to try to straighten a very curly design, as it will likely go frizzy. If wearing the wig to bed, wrap one's head in a protective scarf and use a satin pillowcase.
