Choosing Your Wig Style to Get the Perfect Cut for Your
Face Shape
Take a look in the mirror. Go ahead, the rest of the article will be here when you return. Now that you have a fresh mental image of your beautiful face, let's determine what shape it is. The shape of your face has a lot to do with the success of the hairstyle you choose. You may see a style you adore on a celebrity, but whether or not it will work for you depends largely on the shape of your face. So, in order to determine a hairstyle that is perfect for you, the first step is to see what shape your face is.
Now go back to that mirror, love what you see and choose your wig style
accordingly.
With these tips and suggestions, your inner
beauty is sure to shine right through to the outside!
Buy a wig that fits properly.
Finding a wig that fits is key. Most people wear “average”
sized wig caps, however, that may not be what works for you. In some cases, your head may be too small for
a specific wig cap and it could bunch in spots or slide too easily off your
head. Conversely, a wig that is too small for you could feel too tight or ride
up which would be very uncomfortable for all day wear.
If you feel that the average cap will not suit you, click here for instructions on how to measure your
head to determine a better cap size.

Please also note that all wigs can be adjusted to fit your needs. Wig caps will
have Velcro tabs or plastic sizing hooks located in the back which can be
tightened or loosened for fit. If your wig is still too large, you can secure
it with bobby pins or additional combs or clips can be sewn in.
At Lori’s Wigsite we are able to custom size any
wig of your choice as well.

Wig Cap Liners are the fastest way to keep hair tucked.
Wig cap liners are by far one of the best tools to have for
wig wearers. These nylon caps secure the natural hair so the wig can sit
properly on top.
Wrap your hair around your head and pin it in place if you
have medium to longer hair. Cover your hair with the cap liner and this will
allow a smooth look underneath the wig.

Clean your wig regularly.
Not many people understand the importance of washing a wig.
Wigs are exposed to the elements just as human hair, so it helps to refresh
them. Cleaning and caring for your wigs is easier than you might think and all
wigs will come with detailed washing instructions. Your investment is worth
preserving and by regularly washing your wigs, you’ll make them last much
longer.

Whatever the reason you’re looking for a new wig, approach
the process with optimism and excitement! A new wig can create a new you – to
whatever extent you desire! When looking for a new wig, consider a subtle
change in length or color, or go for a drastic change. The choice is yours!
There are several things to think about when looking for a new style. For
starters, check out what’s trending by scrolling social media or by talking
with your hairdresser. You may also want to consider the time of the year. For
the colder seasons, you may want to let your hair flow long to your shoulders or
beyond. Long hair trends may include layers that frame your face or drape over
one side of your forehead. Parting your locks on the side is a must to boost
volume and style.
When the weather starts to warm up, you may opt for shorter hairstyles. A short
haircut can look edgy, but it can also look clean and well put together. To get
that perfect balance between the two, go for longer layers on top that can be
neatly tucked behind the ears with bobby pins and accessories or just as easily
tossed into messy waves with a bit of product.
Another decision to make when shopping for a new wig is
color. A wig allows you to augment your usual color with highlights and
lowlights or use this opportunity to change your color altogether. The latest
trends in color include an ombre fade that takes a natural looking dark color at
the roots and extends it into a sun-kissed blonde at the ends.
One great benefit to wearing a wig is the versatility and
ease with which you can sample trends that may seem like a frightening
commitment when done to your natural hair. Use your wigs to your advantage! The
search for a new wig can be a fun experience if you bring along a playful
attitude and a loving & honest friend. Whatever decisions you make,
have
fun and love yourself!
