What Every Buyer Should Know About The Purchase And Care Of Full Lace Wigs
Whether someone has lost hair due to cancer treatment or alopecia, or just wants a different look for a special event, a wig can achieve this effect. One of the most popular types are the lace wigs, which consist of a lace cap worn tight to the scalp along the wearer's hairline with realistic-looking tresses that appear to be actually growing from the scalp. They come in a wide assortment of styles, and can be worn in many ways.
Because most of these wigs are manufactured from human hair, they not only provide a natural look, but also allow the wearer to style them any way they wish. Full lace styles cover the whole head, whereas lace frontals and lace front wigs only provide added fullness in the front and cover that area.
If the wig is well maintained, this will improve its durability and how long it lasts which can be for several years with proper care. When adhesives are used, the wig may be worn for as long as two or three weeks before it will need to be reapplied. Those without natural hair, have better adhesion and can typically wear the wig longer.
The cap of the wig is the part which fits against the scalp, so it is necessary to select a color which best matches the skintone of the wearer's hairline. Fair skinned people should choose a transparent cap, tan or medium complexions are best served by beige, and those with a dark complexion can pick either light or dark brown.
The type of hair the wig is made from can vary in terms of texture, weight, thickness, and sheen. Some are more easily dyed another color if desired or styled than others. The Chinese remy style is the thickest and best for dying and styling, while the Indian remy offers fine, silky, sleekness, and Malaysian and Mongolian remy styles provide thickness and shine and matte waviness respectively.
Wearers must learn the proper method of applying and securing the wig if they want it to look its best. If there is natural hair it should be covered with a wig cap or cornrowed close to the scalp, the lace on the wig will need to be trimmed carefully to fit the hairline correctly, and it must be secured properly with combs and glue. Pulling a few baby hairs or strands of one's own hair through can help make the hairline look more natural too.
A wig stand should be purchased for safe storage of the wig as this will help it keep its shape. For washing, use two spray bottles, one containing a water/shampoo solution, and the other containing a water/conditioner solution. Spray wig with shampoo mix and comb it through then rinse out and repeat with the other bottle, pat dry and place it on the stand to continue drying.
What makes wearers so fond of these wigs is the fact that they can basically wear and style them as they can their actual hair. Most can be curled with an iron or curlers, straightened with a flat iron, or blow dried. At bedtime, the head should be covered with a scarf, and a satin pillowcase should be used.
