If you’re considering a human hair wig, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by the different options and the idea of wearing a wig for the first time. Whether you’re looking for a wig due to hair loss, a style change, or to enhance your natural look, human hair wigs offer a natural, stylish, and comfortable option. In this beginner’s guide, we’ll walk you through the key steps to wearing real human hair wigs confidently, from selecting the right wig to caring for it properly.
1. Choose the Right Wig for Your Style and Comfort
The first step to wearing a human hair wig with confidence is choosing the right one. There are a wide variety of human hair wigs available, from Ellen Wille wigs to Belle Madame wigs, each offering high-quality, realistic options. It’s essential to pick a wig that suits your personal style, face shape, and lifestyle. When choosing a wig, you’ll need to consider factors such as length, texture, and colour. Some wigs come with built-in fringe, while others offer longer, more natural styles.
At Julia Lampard Salon, we recommend starting with a wig consultation, where our expert stylists can guide you through the best options for your face shape, hair type, and the look you want to achieve. A consultation is an excellent way to get professional advice on the ideal wig for you.
2. Understand the Different Types of Wigs
When you start exploring options, you’ll likely come across different types of wigs, including lace front wigs, full lace wigs, and 50/50 hair and special heat fibre wigs. The difference in these styles often comes down to how they are made and how flexible they are for different styles.
50/50 hair and special heat fibre wigs combine the natural look of human hair with the convenience and durability of synthetic fibres. They are a great choice for those looking for versatility and ease of maintenance.
3. Learn How to Put on Your Wig Correctly
To wear your wig comfortably, it’s important to know how to put it on properly. Before you start, make sure your natural hair is smooth and secured. If you have longer hair, you may need to braid it or use a wig cap to keep it in place. Wig caps can help secure your natural hair and provide a snug fit for the wig.
When you’re ready, gently place the wig on your head, starting from the front and adjusting it until it sits comfortably. Ensure that the wig is positioned properly to avoid discomfort or irritation. If you’re new to wigs, it can be helpful to practice in front of a mirror, adjusting the wig as needed to find the most natural look.
4. Caring for Your Human Hair Wig
Once you’ve chosen the right wig and learned how to wear it, the next important step is maintenance. Human hair wigs require proper care to maintain their shine, texture, and longevity. Just like natural hair, they need to be washed and conditioned regularly.
We recommend using products specifically designed for wigs, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate hair fibres. It’s also essential to protect your wig from heat damage, especially if you’re using styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners. Many 50/50 hair and special heat fibre wigs are designed to withstand heat styling, but it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
5. Confidence in Your New Look
Wearing a wig can feel empowering, but it may take a little time to adjust. Confidence comes from wearing something that feels right for you. Once you’ve chosen the perfect human hair wig and learned how to maintain it, you’ll feel more comfortable and confident. Whether you’re wearing it for medical reasons or simply as a style choice, a wig offers a natural, beautiful way to transform your look.
When you leave the salon with a wig that perfectly suits your style, you’ll not only look great but also feel great. At Julia Lampard Salon, we offer personalised advice and a selection of wigs that cater to your unique needs, from Ellen Wille wigs to Belle Madame wigs.
