A Few Things to Know About Wigs
If you’re thinking about wearing a wig, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, make sure you choose a lace front wig for the most natural look. Second, if you want bangs, go for it! Bangs are fabulous and can hide an unnatural hairline on a budget wig. Third, make sure you select a wig made from high-quality synthetic or human hair. And fourth, remember that wigs can be worn year round so consider choosing one you might want to wear again for cosplay, new years eve, or anytime you want to look a bit extra.
To make them look as natural as possible, you’ll also want to be sure to wear a wig cap underneath to keep your own hair from showing.
