It stands to reason that you might feel a bit unsure or intimidated about the prospect of wearing a wig for the first time. The quality and feel of modern wigs should allay those fears as you can get one that will help make you look and feel great.
However, it makes sense to introduce yourself gently to wig wearing. A good way of doing that is choosing a design and manufacture that is suitable for first-time wearers.
If you want a solid suggestion for your first purchase, glueless wigs are highly suitable for beginners.
Let’s explore your options and learn more about why glueless wigs and other certain features are such a good choice for first-time wearers.
Synthetic or human hair?
One of the biggest pitfalls that first-time wig buyers fall into is to buy a poor quality artificial wig that requires a lot more styling and maintenance than you can handle if you are new to wearing a wig.
Synthetic wigs can be fine for beginners if you are prepared to pay for better quality.
The price you pay for a synthetic wig is normally an accurate representation of how much you spent.
Some of the typical problems you get with a poor quality wig is a poor fit, an unnatural appearance, and even an uncomfortable wearing experience when it feels itchy.
You may consider synthetic wigs a relatively budget-friendly option and a breeze to care for – perfect for dipping your toes into the world of wigs. They even come in styles inspired by celebrities, like the chic Raquel Welch short hair looks.
You should also bear in mind that you will need to find a wig that is made from heat resistant fiber if you want to style the wig without ruining it.
Human hair can be great for beginners. They might cost more but they look more natural and are often easier to style and maintain than a synthetic wig.
Both synthetic and human hair wigs both have their pros and cons. Talk to your supplier about your requirements and budget and they should be able to guide you toward the best option.
How easy is a wig to wear?
One of the most common anxieties experienced by new wig wearers is how easy it is to keep their wig in place.
Lace front wigs are a good choice because they are designed to emulate your natural hairline. They are also easy to put on and remove with the minimum of fuss.
You use grippers and clips to keep the wig in place. Glueless wigs are easy to wear and you shouldn’t worry about the wig staying in place as they have been designed to achieve a good grip that is comfortable.
How do I get the right size of wig?
In order to get the best possible fit you need to measure your head so that you can get the correct cap size.
You can get guidance on how to measure your head from your supplier. It is easy to do and will help you choose the right cap size.
You should be able to pick the perfect wig using these guidelines. A good wig supplier will also be happy to answer any questions you have and guide you on which wig to buy as a beginner.
