Wigs have now gained widespread recognition in the beauty community, age of social media and the celebrities set wearing them without shame, after decades of being a mainstay in so many people's beauty regimes. No longer regarded as a dirty secret, they now are widely praised for their adaptability, allowing people to modify their hairstyles on the go without committing to a specific look.
Cliff Vmir, hairdresser and star of a digital BET show Wig Out, sat down with us and explained some of the most common wig-wearing blunders he encounters – and how to avoid them.
Purchasing lace-front wigs that have a strong lace attachment
Whatever your budget, be sure the lace-front Human Hair Wigs Canada you're buying is well-made and has a thin lace closing that will lay flat and look scalp-like once implanted. A closure is a hairpiece sewed across the front of a unit to mimic a natural hairline. The heavier the closing looks, the thicker the material is.
Behind your wig, refrain from combing your hair.
The way you prepare your hair beneath your wig will determine whether or not it is bumpy when you put it on. Remember to braid your hair in dreadlocks before putting the device on. "To preserve that smooth foundation below, everyone needs little braids that go straight back," Vmir adds. "Some folks don't even use braid foundations beneath their wig caps."
Knots that haven't been bleached and plucked
It's worth bleaching and plucking the knot in the front of your wig for a more core byproduct if you really want to make sure it's unnoticeable for even the most discriminating eye. Individual strands are hand-sewn to a mesh foundation, resulting in small knots at the end of lace-front wigs. When black hair is utilized, the knots look as little black dots that stand out a lot, especially in which the units is parted.
Putting too much effort into your child's hairstyle
While highly styled baby hair is still popular, when wearing a wig, it's best not to go overboard to ensure the unit blends in with your natural hairline. "When you're wearing someone else's Jon Renau Wigs, you want to keep it as fresh as possible without overdoing it." Vmir emphasizes, "Less is more." Although it is tempted to mold your wispies in intricate ways, just lightly rub them away with some edge control will do.
If you're looking to make a curly middle part, the curls must all flow along," Vmir says. Also, for a seamless, glamorous finish, comb or pull out each curl.
