If you’ve lost all or most of your hair(no matter what reason–chemo or genetics), you might want to consider a wig. But choosing a suitable one, there must be many things to be considered, hoping the following guide will enable you to select a wig that suits you.
1.) Choose the hair material, human hair or synthetic hair?
You need to decide whether you want to buy a human hair wig, or a synthetic wig. Human hair can look as realistic as real hair and can last much longer than synthetic wig, but need to be designed by your hairstylist according to your face shape, with also caring for it as well. Synthetic hair is simply much easier to style and care for because the artificial polymers hold their shape much better than real hair does, the price is also much cheaper than human material. All of these are things you need to take into consideration.
2.) Select the cap construction: Capless, Lace or Mono top?
After confirming the material, you need to choose the cap, now there are three normal constructions like capless (all machine-made), lace and mono top. Usually if you like synthetic material, capless will be OK. But for human hair, lace and mono top will be better.
Lace and mono top are all hand-tied. This gives the appearance of individual hairs growing from our own scalp, which is very natural looking.
3.) Measure your head–how do I know my head size?
Head size has very little to do with the overall size of a person. It is best not to make any assumptions about fit, but to take measurements. Please check the following picture, measure your size step by step. You will know your cap size: Small, Medium or Large.
4.)Styles
If choosing synthetic material, please browse through our catalog and determine which styles fit your needs. For human hair, all can be made into wavy or curl, but if you have some new ideas about wigs, please choosing a normal one, then let your hairstylist cut and design some new styles according to your request.
5.) Colors
Choosing the right wig color can be a challenge, I advice that making wigs with softer, more natural colors or blends of colors, that will be more natural looking and simply easier to make you look great. After all, most woman’s hair isn’t just a single color, rather it’s a mixture of coloring, so mixed colors will look more natural than stark solid colors.
