Is Your Wig Making You Look Older?

Even though you might not notice it, you could be in need of a wig makeover to update your style and maintain your youthful glow.

Wigs are versatile, stylish, and help us feel great about ourselves. Unfortunately, for some people, wigs are not doing all that the could be to help them look young. Even though you might not notice it, you could be in need of a wig makeover to update your style and maintain your youthful glow. Here are tips on making the most of your wigs.

Wig Style

Take a close look at the cut of your wig. Does the shape flatter your face? If so, does the cut look modern? If you’ve worn the same style for a while, it could be time for a fresh cut. Human hair wigs and some types of synthetic wigs can be recut and styled. If you have a human hair wig, you might want to go to the salon to have your favourite hairstylist see if it is time for a new style.

Even if your wig’s haircut isn’t dated, it could still be time for you to consider a new style. Sometimes it’s simply time for a new look. You may feel younger once you see yourself in the mirror with a different hairstyle. You may also get a boost to your self confidence after you get compliments on your updated look! Often looking younger is a function of feeling younger and more confident.

Wig Colour

Wig colour is very important. In fact, there are three major issues to consider with regards to your wig’s colour.

Does your wig colour look good on you?

As we change over the years, our complexion may change, too. This means that the colour we may have selected years ago is no longer the best look for us. Your natural skin tone, the amount of sun you get, the type of make-up you wear, and your eye colour can all play into how your appearance works with your wig. Take a close look to see if your current wig colour works for you. If you have stuck with the same colours for a long time, it may be that a new range of shades and tones will compliment you even more than the ones you currently wear.

Is the wig colour still in fashion?

Colour trends come and go. That’s particularly true of the styles in highlights and lowlights. Even with grey hair there are colour trends. In the past, white hair or grey hair with a bit of colour tint was popular. Now silvery greys are in style along with salt and pepper greys.

Does your wig have good highlights and lowlights?

One of the ways hair colour is most likely to look dated is through the style of highlights and lowlights. Big chunks of colour can be popular for a while, followed by finer highlights. More natural-looking highlights are less likely to become dated but they are more likely to be eye-catching and fashionable during the years they are popular.

Wig Design

Another factor that can make your wig seem dated is the materials used in the wig’s construction. Human hair wigs and higher-quality synthetics appear more natural and hold up well for long-term use. Inexpensive wigs can lack the natural hair lustre. Modern construction materials and features like lace-fronts also allow a more youthful, natural hairline. The type of cap materials can make a difference in how well the wig fits your head, the wig’s comfort, and the way the individual hairs flow from the cap. Simply updating to the same style of wig that is made with higher quality materials can result in a more youthful appearance.
