Choosing your staple wig can be an overwhelming task. Since you will be wearing your staple wig a majority of the time, you want something that fits your style and gives you confidence. With so many wig options, choosing the right one to be your staple can seem like the most difficult task in the world. There are many reasons why you would need a wig, but no matter what that reason is, this how to choose your staple wig guide should help make your decision easier.
Head Size
Buying a wig is just like buying clothes. We all have that pair of jeans that fits perfectly and you want your wig to fit just as perfectly. You can measure your head yourself by tracing a cloth measuring tape around your hairline. The measuring tape should be snug, but not too tight. However, to get the best results, it’s best to have someone help you measure your head size. If you’re completely new to buying wigs, our wig experts here at Wig-a-Do can measure your head for you and get you the perfectly sized wig.
Hair Type
The next thing you need to consider is the type of hair you want your wig made out of. There are three different options for wig hair: human hair, synthetic hair, and heat resistant synthetic hair. You might automatically think you want human hair because you think it will look the most natural, but synthetic hair can look just as natural. It’s best to look into these different options and see which one works best for the kind of wig you want. You should also consider your daily activities and how often you style your hair like curling it or straightening it.
Cap Type
Like the hair type, there are different options for cap type: classic, monofilament, hand-tied, and lace front. Classic caps are traditional rows of hair sewn together. Monofilament caps are the most expensive because they are the most natural-looking. Hand-tied caps mean that each piece of hair was hand-tied to the cap. Lace front caps have individually tied hairs on the lace front hairline so that you can pull your hair back and still have a natural look.
Style and Color
Once you’ve determined the first three items, you can get into the fun part of picking out your staple wig: the style and color. From different lengths, shades, and waves, the options for style and color are endless. You can choose a style and color similar to your natural hair, or you can do something radically different. Buying a wig can be a way for you to show off a different part of your personality that no one has seen before, but for a staple wig, you’re going to want to choose something that you are 100% comfortable in.
