Research suggests that feeling confident in your appearance can influence how you carry yourself physically – A little-known advantage that makes wigs truly special!
This confidence can be particularly difficult for those experiencing hair loss due to genetics, medical conditions, or stress, and their wigs offer an instant solution, allowing individuals to regain their sense of self and change their appearance.
But again, wearing wigs daily asks for comfort, confidence, and style. A great wig can be your companion- a secret that pushes you to present your best self to the world.
Today, men’s wigs are witnessing amazing market growth, while women’s wigs remain a strong contender in the market. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have further popularised wig-wearing among women, with influencers showcasing creative ways to wear wigs that refine their looks.
But let’s be honest- making your wig-wearing experience convenient sometimes feels like a task. That’s where these top 10 tips for wearing wigs every day come into play.
So, let us have a look into them.
Selecting a wig that fits your head perfectly is the first thing to look for.
An improperly fitted wig will cause you discomfort and may slip throughout the day. To avoid such problems, keep in mind these everyday wig tips to measure your head accurately to find the right size. Typically, they come in petite, average, and large sizes.
Now, as you are supposed to wear the wig every day, choose the lightweight wig with breathable materials. In this case, the wig variants to consider are lace-front wigs or human hair wigs. They can exactly match the natural hairline flow and avoid that “too perfect” look synthetic wigs can sometimes give.
Here are the necessary accessories every wig owner should have.
Wig stands: They help you maintain the original shape of the wig.
Detangling brushes: Such brushes are specially designed to avoid pulling fibres.
Silk scarfs: These prevent friction and keep edges smooth, etc.
The difference between a ‘convincing wig’ and an ‘obvious one’ is often criticised by looking at the fit. Adjust the wig’s straps or use wig grips for a perfect fit. Remember, you want your wig secure but not too tight.
In Elton John’s hair loss journey- From transplant to wig, he expressed satisfaction with his current wig, stating, “I’m very happy with my wig now. It looks good, I’m happy with it”. This highlights not only the importance of fit but also how a well-fitted wig can positively impact one’s self-esteem.
To maintain its appearance, wash your wig every 8 to 10 wears (depending on your lifestyle), one of the first wig care tips for daily use. Overwashing can lead to damage, so find a balance that works for you.
Before wearing a wig, check that your natural hair is neatly secured. To check the same, you can use pins, gel, or wig caps to keep everything flat and secure.
If you are used to consistent styling with heat tools, try to apply a heat protectant spray first. This will help prevent damage and keep your wig looking fresh.
To protect the fibres of your wig, remove it before bedtime. Sleeping with a wig can cause friction, damage, and disturb its shape over time.
In the UK, the weather is unpredictable; in that case, wearing wigs can be challenging. Use a light mist of anti-humidity spray in summer, and during colder months, switch to synthetic wigs as they resist static better than human hair wigs.
If you wear the same wig daily, it may look worn out too quickly.
Consider following this daily wig-wearing guide and keep three wigs in rotation to increase the life of wigs. Also, give yourself options to style the wig in different ways. Think of it as your “wig wardrobe.”
Bonus Tip: Confidence is your superpower
Synthetic lace front wigs are the best for everyday use due to their natural look and low maintenance requirements.
Use wig tapes, wig glues, and caps for a secure fit. Also, we’ve written a detailed guide on this- check it out here.
Wear a wig grip band to stop your wig from slipping off during the day.
Wash your wig once a week if you are wearing it daily (In case of more sweating, try to wash it twice a week).
Use a silk or satin bag, storage box or wig stand. Find out the detailed guide written on how to store wigs.
