How To Find Natural Looking Wigs

Wigs have come a long way in recent years. Today’s market is full of natural-looking wigs that use the highest quality materials and advanced construction techniques to create beautiful results. Investing in the right wig can make you look great and feel more confident than ever. However, with so many options on the market, it can be challenging to know which products will provide the right combination of durable construction, flexible styling, and a natural look. With this comprehensive guide, you can get the information you need to narrow down your choices and find a natural-looking wig that enhances your appearance.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Synthetic Wigs

Wigs are either synthetic or natural. Synthetic wigs are more affordable and worn right out of the box. In addition, the fibers hold their shape, so your curly or wavy hair won’t need to be restyled and set regularly.

However, you won’t be able to change your look without purchasing additional wigs. In addition, synthetic wigs run their course quicker, and replacing them adds up. While synthetic wigs are more affordable, they don’t offer the same look, texture, and durability as wigs made from human hair.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Human Hair Wigs

Human hair represents the ultimate in high-quality wigs hence the higher price tags. However, that price tag provides you with a natural-looking product you can style over and over. In other words, higher quality with a low chance of needing another one.
Wigs made with human hair also make it easier to create a natural look by providing a wide range of colors, textures, and curls. In addition, you can chemically process human hair and dye it to match your natural hair color or a new look without damaging the hair. Hair in our custom wigs is not previously exposed to chemicals either.

Remy hair wigs are a popular option because of their virgin hair, and every strand is handpicked and woven in a way that hair follicles point in the same direction. While the hair will come from different sources, only the best strands make the cut. Laying them in the same direction helps prevent tangles and makes your wig easier to maintain.

There are also human hair wig options that avoid using chemicals and provide you with untreated, virgin hair. These wigs are sourced from the same person and only use hair that hasn’t been exposed to any chemicals. The wig will provide a healthy-looking hairpiece that can be washed, combed, and styled just like your own hair. 

Lace Front Versus Full Lace Wigs

Wigs vary by their construction. Lace front wigs feature a lace panel along the hairline of the wig. Strands of hair are hand-sewn into the lace to create a flexible, stretchy border that mimics the natural hairline.
Lace front wigs are less expensive but have some significant drawbacks. You will have to use adhesive to secure the wig, and these materials can cause damage to your scalp or cause the wig to slide around if they aren’t applied properly. In addition, you won’t be able to part your hair in different places without exposing the wig cap resulting in non natural looking wigs.

Full lace wigs or “the premium option” offer the most natural look. In addition, the design is lighter and more breathable, allowing for styling flexibility. You can put it in a ponytail, style it into an updo, wear it down, and part it anywhere.

The highest quality full lace wigs use a wig cap made of monofilament. This material adds natural movement to your hair and offers the most realistic appearance of a natural scalp. Each strand of hair is hand-tied and knotted to the cap for an incredibly life-like final product. If you want to invest in the most durable and natural-looking wig, purchase a combination of human hair with a full lace design and a monofilament cap.

How to Make a Wig Look Natural

Your best bet to making your wig look natural is to start with the best materials and construction techniques. While there are a variety of wigs available at a range of prices, you only want the best for your hair and appearance. Cheaper wigs made from synthetic materials can’t offer the same look as human hair wigs.

It’s essential to learn how to apply and wear your wig. First, you want the wig to match your natural hairline. Depending on the wig and your hair, you may also be able to blend your hair with the wig to create a more seamless hairline. Correctly attaching and tightening the wig will also ensure you can enjoy all your favorite activities without worrying about having to readjust your wig.
