1. How to wear hats with wigs
Wearing hats is a great way to stay warm and protect the wig from external aggressions. But as with the care of the wig, you have to take certain care to protect it and get the best results:
- Don't force your hat down on the wig. If the hat moves, the wig may also be wig and you will be dyeing it. Choose a hat that is for a larger head size than yours, so you can gently place it over the wig without altering its style.
- Straighten your hair back before placing the wig. Wearing any head attachment on top of the wig can cause frizz and tangles. If you use synthetic accessories, spraying antistatic spray is a great option, and for more safety use hairpins or hair clips to keep your hair flat back.
- Take off your hat from front to back. When taking your hat off your wig, press firmly with one finger on the top of the hair stripe, then gently pull the hat back. Hair straightened back will fall back into place naturally.
2. Winter outfit and synthetic wigs
Wearing scarves and coats can cause friction on the sides and nape of the wig; this problem is more pronounced in medium and long wigs, since friction can cause severe tangles.
The best advice to avoid these tangles is to add an extension of human hair on the bottom of the wig. Make sure the extension matches the tone of the wig to achieve a uniform appearance. This human hair weft will act as a barrier between your wig and the rough materials of jackets and scarves.
Human hair is less likely to tangle than synthetic and heat-resistant synthetic fibers, and a natural hair extension can last for several seasons due to its long lifespan.
3. Getting picked up
Another way to get the hair in your wig to tangle less and suffer less with the friction of clothes is to make simple collections; such as pigtails, braids or bows; you will give a new style to your wig.
The ideal is to leave some hairs loose in the area of the pin and nape of the neck to give naturalness.
It is not necessary that you complicate yourself with very elaborate hairstyles, use soft rubbers or pins that do not damage the fiber and do not squeeze them too much, once you release the hair again, it will return to its initial position and there will be no marks, thanks to the fact that the synthetic fiber has a memory effect.
4. Combing is continuously essential One of the best tips for winter hair is to wear a wide-toothed comb wherever you go.
Most wide-toothed combs are small enough to fit in smaller bags or pockets, always carry it around.
Because of the friction between synthetic fiber and outerwear materials, your synthetic wig can become frequently tangled and clumped. Therefore, you should comb your hair frequently throughout the day to protect the fibers of your wig. The fewer tangles you have, the better the fiber will remain.
This tip is valid for all seasons, combing your pieces throughout the day is one of the best tips for the care of synthetic fiber wigs.
Note: If you wear curly wigs, you don't need to comb it during the day, as it will break its curls and curl them. 5. Untangle after use All synthetic wigs need special care at the end of the day. When removing the wig, be sure to comb it until there is no tangle left. For difficult entanglements, add a little Serum. A few drops are applied to the hands and distributed from means to tips and by the parts with more entanglements to facilitate the combing.
Specially formulated to renew, repair and prolong the life of synthetic fiber, it is a must if you use synthetic fiber wigs on a regular basis. Another step to add to your hair care in winter is to spray your wig with a lightweight, unwashed conditioner after untangling it at the end of the day (you can also do it before putting it on). Ellen Wille's unwashed conditioner will retain moisture to condition and restore your hair over time. this way it will remain in good condition for longer. Following these winter hair tips will help your synthetic wigs and heat-resistant synthetic wigs last their entire shelf life, even during the dry winter months!
