Choosing a Natural Looking Wig

For those seeking confidence and versatility in their hair, wigs are the go-to hair solution. Whether you’re looking for quick styles or experiencing hair loss, finding a perfectly fitting wig is essential.

In the past, wigs were uncomfortable and looked unnatural, but that’s no longer the case. However, there are key factors to consider when choosing a natural looking wig that also perfectly complements your personal style.

1. Think About Your Face Shape and Skin Tone

Choosing a wig that flatters your face shape and complements your skin tone is essential to achieving a natural look. For instance, wigs with longer layers is very suitable for people with a round face shape because it creates the illusion of length.

But you should consult with a wig specialist and experiment with different styles to determine which options are best for you.

2. Choose the Right Wig Cap Construction

To achieve a natural look, the cap construction plays a critical role. Common cap types include hand-tied, monofilament and lace front. For the upmost comfort, choose a hand-tied wig as it provides natural movement because each hair strand is individual tied to the cap.

If you’re looking for a wig that simulates natural hair growth patterns, go with the monofilament cap construction. For a seamless blend with your natural scalp, lace front wigs feature a shear lace material along the hairline.

3. Consider Color and Texture

Not all wig colors and textures match every person. So, choose colors that match your natural hair color or experiment with shades that best complement your complexion. When it comes to texture, decide if you want curly hair, straight or wavy. While you can choose a texture that resembles your own hair, selecting a different texture can give you an instant new look.

4. Select Your Preferred Wig Material

Synthetic and human hair wigs are the two common types of wig materials. Although synthetic wigs are more affordable, they also have limitations. For example, many of them are not heat resistant. But synthetic wigs benefits include pre-styled, require less maintenance, and generally are less expensive.

On the other hand, human hair wigs provides the most realistic look and feel, as well as versatility in styling.

Whichever cap construction, texture, color or material you decide on, remember to experiment from a selection of wigs.
