Why Short Hair Wigs And Weaves Are Dope

Short hair has been assigned its place in the black hair beauty community. Pixies and edgy cuts are reserved for women who are ‘feeling themselves’ or who are ‘about to change their lives.’ Truth is, not everybody can confidently pull off short hair.

It takes a bit of sass and a certain level of self-assuredness to wear your hair short. A woman with short hair has to know how to wear the hair and not have the hair wear her. People should see the person and not only the haircut. This kind of attention is what might make a woman hesitate when considering a haircut.

Cutting your hair short is a true commitment. It’s one you can’t turn back from. If you’re not one who can handle the attention and the upkeep, you may find yourself in a sticky situation. You may even be forced to wear weaves or wigs to cover up your mistake. But, the fact of the matter is that you can go for a test drive before you buy the car.

I have a friend who believes that every woman should keep at least one go-to wig* in her stash. Wearing weaves* or wigs isn’t only an option that’s available to those women who have mistakenly chopped off all their hair and now regret their decision. Short wigs and weaves can do the same thing for your style as 32 inches of Brazilian Body Wave can. They allow space for you to be versatile with your hairstyles.

Pixie wigs*, in particular, have gained a lot of popularity lately. From the time Rihanna donned a pink one to JHud cutting all off, celebrities and non-celebrities alike are killing the short hair game. And the funny thing is that a lot of them are doing it with wigs* and weaves.

Here are few reasons you should explore short hair wigs and weaves*.

Versatility

This is an obvious one. Wigs and weaves* give you something to play around with. You can explore how well a certain style fits your face shape. Or if you want to know if that swoop bang will annoy you before you actually get your hair cut that way, try it out with a wig or weave* first. If you hate it, you can just chuck it and nobody gets hurt.

There are also so many options available as far as synthetic hair or human hair. Then there is the issue of which texture you may want to have fun with. Maybe deep wave suits you or a super curly look may be what you need for that tropical vacation. It’s all up to you.

Test run

As mentioned above, short hair may not be for everyone. If you want to take that test drive, try a pixie cut wig. These are often very easy to get your hands on as most beauty supply stores or hair stores carry them. Because the hair is short, pixie wigs* are also budget friendly because the hair used to make them doesn’t have to be human hair in order for the wig to maintain its shape when cut.

Shortcuts come in a variety of styles as well. A wig is a great way for you to experiment with a bowl cut pixie or a super short traditional pixie. See if you prefer the sides longer or shorter. Or maybe you like how the hair accentuates your nape when it’s styled to give the wispy look. If you take a wig cap*, you can try on the different styles right there in the store before you even spend any money.

 Add Color

Color your hair is one of the easiest ways to switch things up if you’re bored. It is also one of the most common ways to damage your strands. Especially if your hair is relaxed or otherwise previously chemically treated.

You don’t have to give up color completely, though. Get a few tracks, dye them, bleach them, lift them to the high heavens. Then add them to your  own hair and voila! Instant gratification with no damaging side effects. It’s a win-win. And if you really want to be daring, you can do like RiRi and just straight up get a pink wig and rock out with a full head of colored hair.

Wigs* can also be a great option if you want to give your hair a break from coloring. For instance, if you deal with frequent dye jobs to cover gray hair, you can use a wig that is dyed the color of your natural hair so that you’re able to squeeze in more time in between the coloring treatments your real hair needs.

Whatever the reason, give a short wig or weave* a try have some fun switching things up.  When you do, you’ll see that short hair wigs and weaves* are dope.
