Is It Okay to Wear A Wig Everyday?

It's OK to wear a wig every day as long as you take care of the hair underneath it. Be sure to wash your wig and your hair regularly to avoid dirt buildup. That is, wearing the same wig every day can eventually strain the wig. So follow these tips to make your wig look healthier.

1. Wash your wig before putting it on.
Don't wear it right out of the box. When you first take the wig off the wrapper, it tends to hold the shape of the wrapper, which will make it look less natural. You can either do it yourself or consider going to a hairdresser and asking for a natural cut.

2. Don't go for wild colors or dramatic styles.
If you want to wear the same wig every day, make sure it's versatile, meaning you can wear it for several different occasions, whether it's a formal occasion or a business trip. However, if you already own a traditional wig or two, you can treat yourself to a slightly outlandish wig for special occasions.

3. Consider partial wigs.
There's no need to buy a full wig every day, especially if you're new to wigs. Instead, try wearing half a wig, or try wearing a top. Just make sure it blends completely into your natural hair. But if you ignore the price, the full wig is still the best option, as wigs are now designed for beginners and you can wear them straight out of the box.

Synthetic and Natural

Wigs can be expensive. A wig made from human hair can cost between $400 and $5,000, depending on who made it and what type of hair they used. Fortunately, there are some well-made artificial wigs available for much less, sometimes less than $100, although these wigs are rare and require a lot of research. That said, artificial wigs typically last only a few months, or even less if you wear them regularly. But with proper care, you can use a human hair wig for years.

Types of Wigs

1. Ready-made Wigs
You can buy them at your local beauty supply store and hair salon. They are pre-designed, often synthetic, one-size fits all styles that can be adjusted to fit the wearer's head and are sold for a fixed price. For those of us with limited disposable income, they are usually budget-friendly.
2. Lace Frontal Wigs
These are typical human hair with a frontal sewn on to the crown (which looks like your natural scalp) and can only be parted in one or two directions at the front. After that, the footprints are sewn from ear to ear.
3. Full Lace Wigs
Usually made from human hair and a lace hat, "an all-lace wig is a ventilation device that has versatility and allows your hair to part in any direction." Whether you want ponytails or cornrows, an all-lace wig offers unlimited styling options." Derek explained. First, braid your hair, usually straight back; Put a little glue around your hair (don't let it stick to your own hair); The wig is then put on and secured in place by gluing the fake hair and securing it with a fake hairpin, if any, in the device.
4. Custom Wigs
As the name suggests, these wigs are designed specifically for one person, tailored to his head circumference and style preferences. Custom wigs are made by hair professionals who first create a base for your hair (usually lace or stocking caps with elastic, pre-measured straps) and then sew your hair of choice onto it.
