Do you want to be a blonde one day and a redhead the next? One way to
do this is to dye your own hair and restyle it, but you can achieve
the same effect with much less effort - just buy a wig. To select a
wig that would be indistinguishable from real human hair and become
your favorite fashion accessory, though, you need to know a few
insider tips.
First of all, if you're worried that a wig will look natural on your
head, never fear! A properly made wig - even the quality synthetic
varieties - can look totally realistic.
Which is best - synthetic or human hair wigs?
Wigs can be synthetic or made from real human hair. Synthetic wigs are
cheaper, but the very cheap ones you can find online don't look real
enough. On the other hand, high quality synthetic wigs like Revlon,
Raquel Welch or Paula Young wigs look very real. Also, synthetic wigs
are easier to care for, as you don't need to restyle them every time
you wash them.
Real human hair is in limited supply, so human hair wigs are much more
expensive; typically they several hundred dollars. Human hair wigs
look and feel very natural. However, it is important to know that the
quality of your wig depends on the origin of the hair used. The
cheapest hair comes from Asian countries, but their texture is
different from the hair of European women. The best human hair wigs
are made from European hair but, unfortunately, they cost a small
fortune.
What wigs styles are available?
You can get ? wigs as well as full wigs. A full wig covers your entire
head, so none of your own hair is visible. This type of wig is great
when you want to try a color different from your own.
A ? wig is clipped to the top of your head. Because your original
hairline is visible, the wig looks very natural. Also, your head
doesn't get "toasted" under a wig cap. On the downside, though, three
quarter wigs have to match your hair color very closely, otherwise it
won't look convincing. It is best not to buy this type of wig online
because the colors on the color charts are usually not very accurate.
A very interesting style of wig is the headband wig. A headband wig is
a full wig with a headband attached to its front. It is especially
useful if you are always in a hurry, because the headband ensures that
none of your own hair is visible. This style is recommended if
