How to wear a wig and precautions

It is very important that the wig looks natural. The quality of the wig itself is important, but the key to whether or not a wig looks natural is how you wear it. If any part of your hair is imperfect, such as your hairline, floating sides, or volume at the top of your head, it will look unnatural.

Basic wearing method

If you want to wear a full wig, a necessary item is a wig net. Without a wig net, your natural hair will not be contained and the sides will float. After storing your natural hair in the wig net, put on the full wig. On the other hand, point wigs do not require a wig net. It is important to match your natural hair and wig well. Point wigs can be attached using Velcro, barrettes, pins, etc.

So, what do you need to be careful about when wearing these?

Point wig precautions

Wearing a point wig is very easy, but there is one thing you need to be careful about. Point wigs are attached directly to the natural hair, so care must be taken to match the color with the natural hair. It will look unnatural if the difference in color is obvious. Even in the case of gradation, be careful of the difference in color from your natural hair.

Precautions for full wigs

Full wigs completely cover your natural hair and require care, so there are many things you need to be careful about.

adjuster

Full wigs cover the entire head, so if the size is too loose, it may slip off, and if it's too tight, it can cause headaches and pain. Therefore, we recommend choosing a wig with an adjuster that allows you to adjust the size. The adjuster is inside the wig and you can adjust it to your size. When purchasing, check whether there is an "adjuster".

You can also prevent the wig from shifting by adjusting the size using the adjuster. One of the causes of misalignment is the wig net. If you wear a full wig directly over your natural hair, the sides won't be able to hold back the natural hair and the wig will slip, causing it to shift. Therefore, a wig net is required when wearing a full wig.

Next, regarding "wig net", wig net has two main uses. They are ``fashion use'' and ``medical use.'' Fashion wig nets are mainly made of polyester and have excellent elasticity. However, it is not recommended for medical use.

For medical use, please use a wig net made of skin-friendly material (e.g. cotton). Even if you have a fashion wig, you can use gauze, etc., but medical wig nets (mainly called inner caps) have good ventilation and reduce stuffiness on your head. Use wig nets for fashion and medical purposes depending on the purpose.

"Stuffy" in summer

Especially in the summer, fashion wigs have the problem of ``stuffy hair.'' Being stuffy increases the risk of poor health conditions such as heat stroke. If possible, take measures such as temporarily removing it in the bathroom or somewhere out of sight.

In the summer, there are also events such as swimming and barbecues on the beach. Be careful not to get the wig wet as much as possible. The wig will shift or come off, and since it is different from your natural hair, it will look very unnatural if it gets wet. If it gets wet, wash it thoroughly with shampoo.

The above is how to wear a wig and what to keep in mind. Enjoy a comfortable wig life by paying attention to the following points: ``adjuster'', ``wig net (inner cap)'', and ``stuffiness''!
