Narrowing the Search for the Perfect Seasonal Wig

Ask yourself what type of cut brings out the best features for your face shape and which colours will compliment a light or dark skin tone. Do your research on this and you’ll find great resources online.

Narrow Down Your Wig Search

From creating a bold new style to seasonal comfort, choose wigs for their versatility. Think about what you want from a hairpiece and try and narrow your search.

When you have narrowed your search, the chances are that you’ll still find yourself looking at a shelf-full of wigs ranging in material and price.

Let’s try and narrow the field a little further.

Many shoppers are concerned about health issues that may arise once they start wearing a wig full-time. Some common questions are:

• Can I be allergic to any of the wig cap materials?
• Can wearing a wig for too long give me a headache?
• Does synthetic hair have adverse effects on scalp health?

Allergies exist but are uncommon if a wig is well looked after, while wearing a wig incorrectly can lead to headaches. Many issues are easily solvable, consult the sales person at your local wig shop or for any lingering concerns or individual issues. Do some reading on common health related questions and find answers on wig blogs, where you’ll be sure to find plenty of others sharing similar worries.

Synthetic wigs used to be less breathable and therefore less comfortable for some, but wig technology has brought lighter, more natural materials to the mainstream and now it’s easy to find a natural looking and feeling synthetic hair wig.

So what are some of the main talking points for synthetic versus human hair wigs when it comes to seasonal comfort?

Synthetic Hair Wigs

Some of the high end synthetic wigs are made from materials that benefit the scalp like seaweed enforced hair strands. Synthetic wigs cost a little less, so perhaps a budget could stretch to afford several wigs instead of one expensive human hair wig. You could look for cuts that will accommodate several seasons like a short bob for summer and a neck-length wig with a fringe for winter.

The cheapest synthetic wig hair is glued to an open-wefted wig cap. While you may not find these wigs to have the most natural look, the open design lets in air. These wigs could be perfect to take on a hot summer beach holiday.

Human Hair Wigs

Human hair wigs are soft, silky and full-bodied. These wigs often require a larger investment, but you’ll get your money’s worth if you’re willing to take good care of your hairpiece. Like biological hair, human hair wigs require a lot of tender loving care but will last longer than their synthetic counter parts. Whichever material you choose the same cuts will either let in air or keep you warm. A human hair wig, which is a little denser and so often preferred for extra warmth in winter, can be shaped by a stylist to protect your head from the elements.

When it comes to wigs there is no right choice, only the wig that suits your style and your comfort needs.
