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.

Mariska is the Pettite addition to the range.  There is nothing else you can ask for.  Lace front, Mono top and Hand tied are all the best features in a wig.  Hand tied means that there is no wefting in the back of the wig.  As the name suggests each hair is hand tied in to the cap to give you the most realistic look.  When you run your hands through your hair you can see that no one will tell its a wig.  There is no where to see the wefting as there is none. The part can be placed on either side as the mono top allows the hair to flow in all directions. Its a great versatile wig.

Some Things to never do with your Wig

Life gets very busy and looking after a wig can be hard at times.  If you look after a wig properly you should be able to have a wig that looks good and lasts quite a while.  It is so important to care for a wig if it is going to last.

The DO list:

  1.  Wash your wig every 6 – 8 wears.
  2. Always wash your wig in a basin or sink.
  3. Use proper Wig Shampoo and Conditioner quality products.
  4. Always conditioner your wig after shampooing.
  5. Always use a wide tooth comb.
  6. Always brush/comb your hair in sections starting from the bottom so you are not adding extra pressure to the cap of the hair.
  7. Always allow Synthetic Hair wigs to dry naturally.
  8. Always check with the seller/manufacturer if your wig is heat resisitant.
  9. Always leave your wig hanging over a wig stand or something similar to allow good ventilation while drying.

The DON’T list:

  1. Do not leave your wig for prolonged periods without washing or conditioning.
  2. Do not soak your wig in shampoo, conditioner or in water.
  3. Do not apply heat to synthetic wigs.
  4. If your synthetic wig is heat resisitant, do not apply heat over 150 Degrees Celcius.
  5. Do not lie your wigs down on towels to dry.

Wig Review: Charlie by Jon Renau

Wig of the Day: Charlie by Jon Renau

We have a small range of Mens Human Hair and Synthetic Hair Wigs, as well as toupees.

When looking at our range, I often get asked – Why is the Charlie so expensive?

Charlie is a Synthetic Hair Wig that has a Mono top and is Hand Tied.  The mono top gives you the realistic looking crown.  A mono top means that in the crown area the hair is hand tied to a very fine sheer mesh or lace that makes the hair look like its coming directly out of a person’s scalp.  It makes it very difficult for a person to detect that someone is wearing a wig.

The craftsmanship of the Charlie is definitely a much higher quality than the other wigs we stock.  The Cap being stretch hand tied puts it in a class of its own. The stretch is very comfortable to wear and is light enough to wear through Summer.

What is a Topper?

easipart3What is a Topper?

A topper is a hair piece that is the perfect solution for those experiencing hair loss and hair thinning. A topper is integrated with your own hair and if they are put on  properly they will be undetectable.There are a few different types of toppers. The toppers are available in Human hair and Synthetic Hair. Most toppers will have toupee clips that will allow the wearer to snap the hairpiece into place. Some toppers have a honeycomb base that you can pull some of your hair through to integrate with the hair piece.

 

Easipart is a great product as a topper for thinning hair. Its a fine covering of hair that is on a monofiliament base.  The base is very fine and transparent so you can’t see it.  It’s the perfect solution for thinning hair. It has toupee clips around the base of the hairpiece to enable you to add the hairpiece to your head. It is available in Human Hair and Synthetic Heat Defiant hair.  It is also available in two sizes Easipart and Easipart XL.

Pull thru Wiglets are another great option for those with short hair. They are available in Human hair and Synthetic hair. You can pull thru some of the hair to fill the thinning spots on top of the scalp.  The images below shows the honeycomb base that you can see where the hair is pulled through.

Some toppers have more hair than others, the Top Volume has a lot more hair than the Easipart and this is reflected in the price. It is available in a short version and a long version. It is a beautiful piece and for those suffering with Hair loss it is a really truly undetectable.
