Types of wigs by type of material:

• Natural. Made from natural hair. They are purchased at hairdressing salons and handed over for further processing. In factories, short curls are glued together, dyed and a full-fledged hairpiece is made.
• Artificial. This is an imitation of natural hair made from nylon fibers. Although now it is quite difficult to distinguish artificial curls from natural ones, since they no longer resemble doll curls

In addition to the material, wigs differ in the base. She may be:

• Lace. This is a lace cap with hair woven into it. It has elastic bands or silicone straps to securely attach to your head. The cap is stretchable, but there is a significant drawback: all such wigs are made with bangs. Accordingly, their price is low
• With hairline. The base is a lace cap, but the hairline is carefully worked out, the wig is difficult to distinguish from a natural one
• "Hollywood". The base of this wig is made of natural leather that breathes. You can sleep and swim in this product. It is securely attached to the head, and the skin does not sweat

HOW TO STYLE A WIG

The question of how to style a wig usually arises for those who have recently purchased such a wig product or are just thinking about buying it. We will be happy to share our experience and tell you what to do in this or that case.

Wigs, as you know, can be natural or artificial.

Let's start with the last ones. How to style a synthetic wig correctly?

Synthetic hair wigs are convenient because they do not need to be styled at all. The structure of the hair, its length, shape - everything was initially set by the manufacturer. The main thing is to find your hairstyle, your image.

The use of various thermal devices: curling irons, curling irons, hair dryers is not permissible for working with such wigs. Moreover, the heat from the oven, fireplace or open fire is very dangerous for him! Please be careful and attentive!

There are still small tricks that will allow you to slightly transform your wig even without special styling.

Firstly, you can change not only the parting line, but even its direction. This is not difficult in wigs with a monofilament insert on the crown area. The larger the area, the more opportunities you have for changes.

Secondly, it is not difficult to create soft waves from curls and reduce the volume of the entire hairstyle. To do this, we need a special comb that will gently smooth out the waves and add volume. If you want to raise the back of your head, this is not a problem! A few precise movements of the comb and you will no longer be recognizable! Bright, fashionable, modern!

The resulting hairstyle can be fixed with a special hairspray for artificial hair. It will not harm your hair or stick it together.

Do you want to bring back those naughty curls again? Easily! Just shake the wig well and the hair will return to its original shape.

A natural wig is a Klondike for creativity! You can curl it, straighten it, cut it, dye it, change your styling every day! “ How to style a human hair wig correctly? " - you ask. We answer...

Firstly, the wig can be taken to a salon, where it is bathed using special shampoos and masks. Styling your wig is a piece of cake for a specialist. This procedure in the salon will take 1 hour, while, for example, curled curls will last almost a month.

Secondly, you can style the wig yourself, at home, using special devices, which we will describe in detail.

You will need:

• A mannequin head on which the wig is attached and the styling process itself takes place;
• A special comb with “bumps” that will not damage the base of the wig and will carefully comb your hair. Start the procedure from the ends, carefully working your way up the hair;
• The double-sided styling comb is ideal for creating volume at the roots. Don't forget about the hairdryer in this case; without it, no comb will work!
• Brushing is a round comb with bristles. This is a universal product for styling hair of different lengths. It is not difficult for them to twist various strands or, conversely, straighten their hair. It must be handled correctly to avoid kinks and hair damage.
• Velcro curlers are easy to use, suitable even for beginners. By twisting and fixing strand by strand on curlers, you can create a gorgeous hairstyle without visiting a salon. True, this will require more time and your skill! Try using curlers on slightly damp hair (after washing) and leaving the wig to dry naturally, on a special stand.
• Thermal appliances: hair dryer, straighteners, curling iron. These are your indispensable assistants in creating flowing strands or delightful waves. You can spend hours watching the master work, his smooth movements, each time being surprised at the magnificent result obtained!

We would like to warn you: when working with a hair dryer, do not get carried away with high temperatures, so as not to harm your hair. All these devices should not be used more than once a month;

• Professional styling products: spray and wig varnish. It is better not to use conventional styling products. They quickly pollute the hair and weigh it down. Washing your wig frequently is not advisable, so control your fantasies!

Real hair receives nutrition, hydration and lubrication from the hair follicle. This is not possible for wig hair, so it is necessary to use professional products to care for such hair. For example, a spray from the German company Dening Hair GmbH moisturizes and nourishes hair. Makes them easier to comb, prevents tangling, and provides gentle care. Wig varnish reliably fixes the hairstyle, while at the same time not strongly gluing the wig hair.

Now is the time to start styling.

It is not advisable to style a dirty wig. It is better to slightly moisten a clean wig before styling. Water from a spray bottle or a special spray to make combing easier will help us with this.

Now place the wig on the mannequin head, securing it with pins. Have you already figured out what you want to get? Flowing waves or mesmerizing curls? Your imagination is limitless here.

At the end of the styling process, you can apply oil (fluid) to the tip. It prevents them from dryness and brittleness.

Using our tips, you can style your wig yourself, come up with a new hairstyle, and add hair care products. We will always help if you need our help. He who does nothing makes no mistakes!

Taking care of you, your City of Wigs.

How to comb a synthetic hair wig

The main task is to give the hair a parallel arrangement in relation to the strands to each other, as well as the desired direction.

1. Using a special stand or head-form, secure the product at five points: two clips in the temple area, two in the neck and one on the frontal part.
2. Before combing your wig, separate the tangled hair into sections. Determine their size by the strength of confusion. The larger it is, the smaller the area.
3. Start combing from the lowest areas, using a brush with sparse metal teeth and a long handle. Go over all areas thoroughly, then comb the entire wig.
4. Finish combing with a massage brush with wooden teeth. She will help you arrange your strands and style your hair. Movements during combing should be directed from top to bottom.

What types of installation are possible?

Styling artificial wigs made of Kanekalon or modacrylic is not difficult - these products return to their original shape even after washing. But natural curls require careful care. In return, they offer much more styling options.

For natural wigs

Today, the buyer can be content with a wide selection of natural curls of various lengths.

A wig made of human hair with a short haircut may lose volume during transportation: individual curls and bangs may become crushed. In this case, it is necessary to perform a number of procedures to restore its previous appearance: steaming, combing, drying using a round comb at the roots and fixing with varnish.

A product with long strands suffers much more during transportation. To style it, you need to steam the curls along the entire length, comb them successively from the tips to the base, lift them at the crown, straighten them with an iron, and, if desired, curl them with a curling iron. Using straight curling irons you can create a softer curl, and using round curling irons you can create an expressive wave.

Perms are acceptable and permitted, but the quality of wigs varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You should ask a specialist at a beauty salon about the product’s resistance to curling.

For artificial hair

It is dangerous to lay artificial strands made of kanekalon or modacrylic. Their composition is destroyed under the influence of high temperatures.

Products made from other materials are less demanding. A high-quality synthetic wig can withstand high temperatures - it can be blow-dried, curled with a tong or curling iron, or styled using hot rollers. It depends only on the owner’s imagination how she decides to style her artificial hair. Even with frequent wear, as well as regular curling, strands of synthetic material do not lose their properties.
