Coping with a serious illness takes its toll on us – mentally, physically and emotionally. But when this illness results in hair loss, it can be doubly difficult to deal with the additional emotional impact. However, it’s important to remember that there are solutions – it may just take a little time to get comfortable with them. Without a doubt, finding the right wig can help you to regain your confidence and bring back the joy of feeling beautiful. Curly wigs for women, in particular, can provide a stunning look that mimics natural hair.
In this article, we will explore when to choose a curly wig over a straight hair wig, how to care for and style a curly wig, and recommend some popular products available at Hair to Ware.
When to Choose a Curly Wig over a Straight Hair Wig
While both straight hair wigs and curly wigs have their unique appeal, there are some scenarios where curly wigs may be a better fit.
- Natural look: If you had naturally curly hair before losing it, a curly wig can help you achieve the same look and feel. Curly wigs tend to look more natural on women who previously had curly hair.
- Volume: If you’re looking for a hairstyle with volume and bounce, a curly wig can provide just that. Curly hair wigs add volume and create the illusion of fuller hair.
- Easy styling: Styling a straight hair wig can be time-consuming and require expertise, especially if you’ve always styled curly hair. However, you’ll find curly hair wigs are easier to style as they already have a pre-defined shape and require minimal effort to look great.
It’s good to remember that when you choose a high-quality human hair wig, you will enjoy the versatility of styling it as you would normal human hair. (Obviously, you just need to be a little more gentle!)
How to Care for and Style a Curly Hair Wig
Caring for a curly hair wig requires a slightly different approach than caring for straight hair wigs. Here are some tips to keep your curly wig looking healthy and bouncy:
- Wash your wig: Curly wigs need to be washed regularly, especially if you wear them daily. Use a mild shampoo, and be gentle when washing. Do not scrub or twist your wig, as this can damage the hair fibres.
- Dry your wig: After washing, gently pat your wig dry with a towel. Do not squeeze or wring out your wig, as this can cause tangling. Leave your wig on a wig stand to air dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer if you can, as too much heat can damage the fibres.
- Use a wig brush: Use a wide-toothed wig brush to detangle your curly wig gently. Start from the tips and work your way up to the roots. Avoid using regular brushes or combs, as they can damage the curls.
- Store your wig: When you’re not wearing your wig, store it on a wig stand to maintain its shape. Avoid placing your wig in direct sunlight or near sources of heat.
- Use wig care products: Use products specifically designed for curly wigs, such as leave-in conditioners and curl enhancers, to keep your wig looking its best. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fibres.
