A Wig to Match Your Lifestyle

Whether you’re the active type and need a wig that is full of life or you need a wig that needs a hint of glamour for that special occasion you have been looking forward to all year, our latest post explores the key things to remember when choosing a wig to fit into your lifestyle.

Choosing a wig for a trip to the gym. If you’re a regular gym-goer, you will know that it is inevitable that you’re going to sweat and the back of your neck is usually one of the worst areas affected. Just as you would with natural hair, tying it up is the best way to keep your hair off your face and keep it dry as you get through your workout.
Lace front wigs are great for the gym as their sheer lace front creates the most natural looking hairline. The lace front is so clever as it allows you to tie your wig back in whatever way you like and you won’t have to worry about any wig edges being visible – gym glamour at its best!

Choosing a wig for holiday. We all dream of lying on a white sandy beach, cocktail in hand and the sun giving us that gorgeous summer glow. If you’re lucky enough to be escaping to an exotic destination this summer, you’re going to need a wig that will keep you cool as you spend your days on the beach or lazing by the pool.
Try to avoid any heavy wefts that may trap in the heat and cause you to sweat. Monofilament wigs are a great choice if you are heading off to a hot environment. The innovative monofilament design uses a sheer mesh section made from a breathable fabric where each hair is individually hand-tied. Not only does this emulate the versatile movement of natural hair, it has the added benefit of providing you with cooling comfort throughout the day.

Whatever wig you choose, we also have a secret weapon that we recommend taking on holiday with you. A wig liner creates a cool and comfortable barrier between your wig and scalp, perfect for hotter climates and sensitive skin. Adding a little more luxury than a standard wig cap, the bamboo wig liner from the Christine Collection is soft and silky against your skin, helping your scalp to breathe and avoiding any unnecessary sweating.

Choosing a wig for that special occasion. We know that a special occasion, whether that’s a wedding or special birthday, requires a little extra care when choosing the right wig to make that ‘wow’ impact. Although ‘the look’ is so important and getting the right style, cut and colour should be high up on your priorities, the cap construction should also make it onto your list.

Hand tied wigs are one of our favourite construction types  as they offer so much freedom when it comes to styling. The hand-knotting technique relies on very skilled craftsmen to tie every hair onto the cap by hand, a process which can take up to three days – and the results are just amazing. For natural movement and hair that will feel like your own, we think this is the perfect choice.
