Are you searching for a new look without the long-term commitment? Whether you want a quick style change, miss your long hair, or are dealing with hair loss, synthetic wigs are the way to go. They're easy to use, especially for beginners, thanks to their open-weft design. No need for glue, and the breathable cap keeps you comfy all day.
So let's see what you need to use and maintain your synthetic wig!
The First Steps With a New Wig
When you first open your wig, gently go through the hair with your fingers to remove any loose strands. Then, use a wide-toothed comb, starting at the ends and moving up, to avoid any tangles. This is a good routine to follow every time you put on your wig.
Here is an example with our Tamara wig:
Notice the elastic straps for adjusting the circumference, as well as elastic lace for extra security.
Getting Your Hair Ready: What to Do Before Putting On the Wig
If you have long hair, tie it up or braid it close to your head. Then secure it with a wig cap, which is basically an elastic net that fits snugly on your head. If you have short hair, using a cap is optional.
Wearing Your Wig: Finding the Perfect Fit
Putting on an open-weft wig is as easy as putting on a hat. Line it up with your natural hairline and pull it over your head. Then use the ear tabs to adjust the fit. Make sure the elastic strap is comfortable but secure, so your wig stays in place, even on windy days.
Personalize Your Look: Working with Bangs and Style
Most of our wigs come with long bangs, giving you the option to trim them to your liking. Take for example our Willow wig, its long bangs provide many options for styling.
You can also sweep the bangs to the side or pin them back. It's all about making the wig a part of you and your style. You can use hair pins to arrange the wig how you like, just try to make yourself comfortable and happy with your appearance.
Taking Care of Your Wig: Maintenance Tips
Cleaning the wig once a week is enough if you're wearing it daily. This is a very simple process. The combing is always the same: using fingers and then a wide toothed comb.
Use cold or lukewarm water with a teaspoon of detergent for synthetic fibers. Let it soak for 30 minutes, give the cap a gentle wash, and then rinse it off. Let it air dry, keeping it away from direct sunlight.
Storing Your Wig: Keeping It Fresh
When it comes to storage, you have several easy options. You can use any old shoebox, or even satin bags in a closet. The goal is to keep it dust-free but still let it breathe.
There you have it: the ultimate, easy guide to living the wig life. Whether it's for a fun style change or a more long-term choice, a synthetic wig offers you the ease and flexibility you're looking for.
