Wigs have become a very popular choice to change your look or to make you feel more confident when you have hair loss. We know it’s important to you that you want your wig to look as natural as possible, no matter what the occasion. The good news is that there are many ways to make your wig look more natural. Here are five tips to help you do just that.
1. Choose a Wig Color That's Right for You
Choosing the right color is one of the most important aspects of making your wig look natural.
If you want to match your natural hair color, take a photo of your hair to help you find the right shade. Try to take the photo in direct sunlight to capture the true tone and undertones. Remember that natural hair often has different tones and highlights, so a wig with several different shades will look more natural than a solid color wig.
If you want to try a different color than your natural hair color, consider choosing a color that matches your skin tone. Cool skin tones work best with cool hair tones, like ash blonde or black, while warm skin tones work best with warm hair tones, like blonde or auburn.
2. Consider the Style and Length of Your Wig
The style and length of your wig can also have a big impact on how natural your wig looks. If you have short hair, consider choosing a wig of similar length. If you have long hair, look for a layered or dynamic wig that matches your natural hair color. It’s also important to choose a style that complements your face shape.
For example, if you have a round face, a wig with a voluminous top and sleek sides can help elongate your face.
If you have a heart-shaped face, a wig with bangs can help balance your forehead and jawline.
It’s important to try different styles and lengths to see which works best for you. Don’t be afraid to try new things!
3. Find the Right Size
To find the perfect size for your head, take the time to take precise measurements. Take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your head from hairline to nape, ear to ear across forehead, ear to ear across crown, temple to temple across back of head, and finally to nape.
Compare your measurements to each wig manufacturer's size guide. When you wear a perfectly fitting wig, not only will it feel more comfortable, but it will be comfortable to wear and won't look like a wig at all!
4. Customize Your Haircut
Sometimes, customizing your haircut to your personal features can ensure that your hair falls as naturally as possible. Take your wig to a hairdresser and, while the wig is on, ask them to make any adjustments to the haircut to really accentuate your facial features and make your wig really fit you. Just a few trims and modifications to your haircut can make a big difference.
5. Practice, Practice, Practice
Finally, the key to making a wig look more natural is practice. The more you wear a wig and try different styles and techniques, the more comfortable and confident you will become.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes or try new things. With a little patience and practice, you can make a wig look so natural that no one can tell you're wearing a wig!
