How to Transition to a Different Wig Style

There are a number of advantages to wearing a wig. Less styling time is required, no costly hair trims are necessary, and you’re spared having to use smelly hair dyes. Here are ways to make that switch less obvious.

On the other hand, if you get bored with one hair length or style, you can’t just wait for it to grow out. That’s why you’ll eventually want to switch to a wig that has a significantly different length and style. If you are going shorter, it’s as easy as showing up wearing a new wig, just like you have had a new haircut.

Discreetly going from shorter hair to longer hair can be a bit trickier. Here are ways to make that switch less obvious.

Variety

You don’t want to be trapped in a single hairstyle forever. One way to make a change without people realizing it is a wig is to incorporate your new wig into part of your ongoing style updates. If you’ve had the same wig for a while, you can ease into a different look by first revising your current one by adding a few fresh. Wear your wig with a festive scarf or headband wrapped around your head one day. Pair it with a hat or add a barrette or other decorative jewellery in your hair.

Pair your wig with a hairpiece enhancer to add some length to your current hairstyle or try attaching some hair pieces for additional variety. That can make it easy to discuss the fact that you’re wearing a hairpiece. No one needs to know you are pairing it with a wig. Once people are used to seeing you occasionally in a longer hair style, you can switch to a longer wig and no one will be surprised at your new length hair. Even just adding a variety of looks to your current hair length will make a switch to a new look and a new wig less of a dramatic step.

Transition Wigs

Rather than going directly from wearing a short wig to wearing a lot wig, you can also purchase a third wig in a shoulder length style. Natural Image wigs, for example, provide a great selection of gorgeous wigs in different lengths at affordable prices. This will not only help make a more gradual switch from one length to another but give you more wig options so you’ll have something perfect for any event.

Pair with Other Changes

People often notice that something is different without being able to figure out what exactly has changed.  That’s why a different hair colour or highlights can help to disguise the fact that the length has changed, as well. Switching from curly hair to straight or from straight to curly is another way to distract from a change in wig length. If you’ve purchased a wig that can be heat styled, you can even adjust the look of the hair different days to fit your mood.

Embrace the Change

Keep in mind that wigs are becoming increasingly popular. From celebrities to the people at work, you have probably seen plenty of people who wear wigs and hair extensions and rejoice in their versatility. You can do the same. If you wear a wig to cover hair loss, no one else needs to know that’s the reason. You can simply proudly change looks whenever you want and be happy with the variety of options. Different wig colours, different wig styles – the only limit is your imagination. You can have the look you what, when you want it. No more waiting for hair to grow out or for repeat touch up appointments with your hairstylist.
