How to choose the perfect wig

Are you looking for a new wig? Read on to learn what considerations you need to take into account when choosing the perfect wig.

There are many reasons why people choose to buy Sunber Hair wigs – including fashion, convenience, or medical reasons. And with so many styles, materials, and features available, selecting the perfect wig can feel overwhelming. This article will walk you through key points to consider when choosing a wig that best suits your needs and personal style.

1) Bear in mind why you need the wig

Before deciding on styles and materials from the Sunber Store, understand why you need a wig. Are you looking for a wig for daily wear, a special occasion, or medical reasons, such as hair loss? Understanding its purpose will enable you to make decisions about durability, comfort, and styling flexibility.

2) Choose between synthetic and human hair wigs

One of your biggest decisions is choosing between synthetic and human hair wigs. Each has its advantages and considerations:

Synthetic wigs: These are affordable, low-maintenance, and pre-styled. High-quality synthetic wigs can closely resemble natural hair but you may notice limitations in heat styling and longevity.
Human hair wigs: These have a more natural look, have greater styling versatility, and last longer. However, they need more care, like regular washing and styling, and can be more expensive.

3) Select the right cap construction

The wig cap is the base to which the hair is attached, impacting comfort and natural appearance. Here are the most common types:

Lace front wigs: These create a natural-looking hairline, making them great for styling hair away from the face.
Full lace wigs: These offer maximum versatility, allowing you to part the hair anywhere on the scalp.
Monofilament wigs: Individual hair strands are tied to a soft mesh, providing a natural scalp appearance and added comfort.
Basic c wigs: These are affordable and have machine-sewn wefts, but they may lack breathability and a realistic scalp look.

4) Pick a style that suits your face shape

Different wig styles suit different face shapes. So it is importance to understand your face shape when picking a flattering wig. Here are some styles that suit different face shapes:

Oval face: Most wig styles work well.
Round face: Long, layered wigs help elongate the face.
Square face: Soft waves and curls can soften angular features.
Heart-shaped face: Chin-length bobs or side-swept bangs balance the forehead.
Long face: Shoulder-length styles with volume add width.

5) Find the right wig size

It’s essential to ensure your wig is fitted properly for comfort and a natural look. Use a measuring tape to measure the circumference of your head, from your hairline to the nape of your neck, and compare it to standard wig sizes (petite, average, or large). Many wigs come with adjustable straps for a better fit.

6) Consider the hair density and length

Wigs come in different densities, ranging from light to heavy. If you prefer a natural look, choose a density that closely matches your natural hair.

Hair length also plays a role in overall style and maintenance. For example, shorter wigs are easier to manage, while longer wigs offer more styling versatility.

7) Match your natural hair color or try something new

If you’re looking for a wig that will match your natural hair, choose a shade close to your natural color. This might be right for you if you are wearing a wig for medical reasons, and don’t want people to realise.

However, wigs can also be an opportunity to experiment with different looks, such as bold colors, highlights, and ombré effects ,without damaging your real hair.

8) Think about wig maintenance

If you take care of your wig, you will extend its lifespan. Synthetic wigs need special shampoos and minimal heat styling, while human hair wigs require washing, conditioning, and heat protection. Investing in a wig stand and storage bag can also help maintain the shape and longevity of your wig.

9) Try before you buy

If you can, try on wigs in a store to see how they look and feel. If you are buying wigs online, make sure you read reviews, check return policies, and consider virtual try-on tools offered by some retailers.

10) Decide on your budget

Wig prices range from affordable synthetic options to high-end human hair wigs. So decide on your budget before you start shopping. Think about what you need your wig for, and how long you will wear it. Investing in a higher-quality wig may be worth it for long-term use.

Find your perfect wig

To choose the perfect wig you need to think about your lifestyle, budget, and personal style. Whether you decide on synthetic or human hair, lace front or full lace, the right wig should make you feel comfortable and confident.
