The important of wig styling

Wig styling is necessary to keep your wig look at its best and wig styles require as much care and attention as your natural hair. How to style your wig depends on your own preference and what makes you look great and feel comfortable.

Don’t forget some wig styling accessories in the wig styling process. When trying new wig styles, always use wig brushes and wig combs instead of regular brushes designed for natural hair. In general, wig combs and wig brushes are designed with softer ‘rounded’ bristles and prongs to ensure that the fibers are not dragged when detangling your wig. If your wig styling requires cutting, we recommend visiting a hairdresser to have your wig shaped, styled and cut to your personal preference. Wigs can be shortened, layered and thinned, a customized cut can make a world of difference.

How to Style Human Hair Wigs

If you’re wondering how to style human hair wig then we recommend that purchasing wig care set designed specifically for human hair wigs is a great place to start. By caring for your wig and keeping it in quality condition, it’s ready for a variety of wig styles. Using a set offers optimal care for your wig as the deep, penetrating and intensive care shampoo and balsam will make the hair smooth, soft and give it a silky gloss. Follow this care routine with a wig conditioner to protect and repair any stressed hair.

Once the wig is washed and left to dry, comb the wig with a wig detangling comb whilst your wig is placed on a wig stand. Alternatively, make an upright fist with your hand and place your wig on the fist as you comb the wig with your other hand. Don’t comb the mesh at the base of the wig as this could cause damage to the wig construction. Use a wig brush or comb and brush gently through the human hair from base to the ends of the hair. Remove tangles first, starting at the bottom and working your way up to prevent breakage. You may use heat appliances such as rollers, curling or straightening irons to give your human hair wig a personal style however try not to use these regularly when creating new wig styles.
