It’s an age-old question amongst the wig-wearing community, with pros and cons to both. In terms of wig care tips, our experts recommend having a variety so that you are fully equipped with a range of wigs for all occasions. Ultimately though, it depends on your own style and habits.
Tip 1
If you want to restyle your wig with heated products regularly, then a human hair wig would suit you, as heated products on most synthetic wigs are a no-go.
If you prefer your wig to keep its style for as long as possible, with minimal effort, then a synthetic wig may suit you better. To fully understand the benefits these wig types can provide, check out our blog on synthetic vs human hair wigs.
Tip 2: Cutting your wig
The idea of taking some scissors to your wig may make you feel uneasy, but just in the same way that you wouldn’t cut your own hair unless you’re confident in your hairdressing ability, you wouldn’t cut your wig unless you felt comfortable with the scissors. If you want to add a fringe, layers, or give it a tidy up, then take your wig to your local hairdressers for a cut, to reshape your wig in a way that’s more suited to your own personal style. It’s hard to reverse the damage to a wig, so we definitely recommend visiting a specialist if you’re unsure about anything!
