Misconceptions about Wigs

Wigs can be a mystery to many. Many people don’t know much about wigs has they haven’t had any exposure to anyone wearing wigs or have worn wigs themselves.  Wigs are becoming more popular as they are easy to wear and look great.  The right wig can make life easy for the client.  Below are some of the misconceptions that we have found:

1. Wigs Look Fake

There will always be some cheap and nasty wigs around.  However, if  you do a little research you will find some really great features of a wig that can make them look very realistic.  A good lace front wig can give you such a realistic hair line.  A mono top wig can help with styling a wig to suits you as you can move the part from left to right or place in the centre.  Choosing the right colour can certainly help with not making a wig look fake.  Obviously a bright purple wig will look fake as its not a natural colour.  As long as your wig fits well and is taken care of properly wigs can look really realistic.

2. Wigs are Hot and Itch

Wigs are designed with in mind of the comfort of the wearer.  Good quality wigs are made up with good fabrics and materials. Many mono top wigs are really soft and comfortable for the wearer.

3. Wigs can fall off Easily

Wigs have adjustments along the nape to help making the wig to fit firmly and comfortable.  You should always change the adjustments to suit yourself.  Please note that a wig adjusted too tight can actually push the wig upwards and will feel like its coming off.  If you take a little time to try a couple adjustments you will find the right measurement for you.

4. Wigs are too Costly

There are so many wig styles to suit many budgets without compromising the quality of the wig. Synthetic Wigs start as low as $100  and can be as high as $700 for a premium quality wig.  The inside cap and the hair quality is where you will see the differences between the budgets.

5. Wig slows hair growth

People think that if they wear a wig their existing hair underneath will stop growing.  This is not true at all. Wigs sit over the top of your existing hair and place no strain on your hair.  Hair Extensions and clip ins can pull on your hair and hinder natural growth but not wigs.

6. Wigs don’t have Natural Hair Movement

A good quality wig can have great natural hair movement.  However, this will depend on the quality of the wig.  Some premium brands like Jon Renau, Ellen Wille, Henry Margu, etc: spend a lot of time designing their wigs so they look as real as possible to natural hair.  A wig can have great natural hair movement.

7. Human Hair wigs are better than Synthetic Hair Wigs

Depending on your budget and what you want the wig for, Human Hair may not be the answer for you. Good Synthetic wigs can look and feel better than cheap Human Hair wigs.  Human Hair Wigs do take a lot more care and require styling after each wear.  Some clients prefer to wear synthetic so they don’t need to worry about styling.

8. Only Old people  wear wigs

Clients wear wigs for all sorts of reasons and its not just for the old. Many young people have health conditions that causing hair loss and a wig is a great option for them.  Whatever the reason you need a wig there is many options and you just need to find the right one for you.  Wigs Online has a showroom in Vermont Victoria where we encourage clients to make an appointment so we can help you choose the right wig for you.
