HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FIRST WIG

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR FIRST WIG

A complete guide for beginners
Choosing your first wig can seem complicated at first. Many women don't know what length to choose, what density is most natural, or what type of lace best suits their skin.

The reality is that choosing a wig doesn't have to be difficult. With a few key points, you can find a wig that looks natural, is comfortable, and perfectly fits your lifestyle.

In this guide, we explain everything you need to know to choose your first wig with confidence.
1. Choose a comfortable length
One of the first factors to consider when choosing a wig is hair length.

Wigs are usually measured in inches and can range from short styles to very long ones.
Generally, lengths can be classified as follows:

Short (10–16 inches)
Short wigs are lightweight, easy to maintain, and perfect if you're looking for a practical everyday style.
Medium (18–20 inches)This is the most versatile length and one of the most popular.
Long (22 inches or more)usually reach from the waist to the top
For many people buying their first wig, a medium length is often the best option.

For example, a 20-inch wig usually falls approximately at chest height, making it comfortable and easy to style.

2. Hair density

Density refers to the amount of hair the wig has.
The most common densities we work with are:

                   150                    180               200

150%

Hair with natural volume

180%

For those who like hair with a lot of volume but don't want it to look exaggerated

200%
More abundant hair with more volume.

For most beginners, a density of 150% is usually the most recommended option, as it offers natural volume without appearing too heavy.

3. Choosing the right lace type
The lace is the front part of the wig that mimics the scalp and allows the hair to appear to grow directly from the skin.

Choosing the right lace is important for the wig to blend with the skin and look natural.

The lace tones we work with are:

The choice will depend mainly on your skin tone.

4. Glueless wigs: the easiest option

If it's your first time wearing a wig, glueless wigs are usually the most comfortable option.

These types of wigs are designed to be easily put on thanks to:

The main advantages are:

they can be put on in a few minutes

5. Choose a color that is familiar to you

When choosing your first wig, it's usually advisable to start with a color close to your natural hair.
This makes the transition easier and makes you feel more comfortable.

6. Make sure you choose the correct size

Wigs also have sizes, so it's important to measure your head correctly to ensure a comfortable fit.

The main measurements are usually:
around the head, from front to nape, and from ear to ear.

A well-fitting wig is not only more comfortable but also looks more natural.
7. Choose a good quality wig

Hair quality is also an important factor.
Human hair wigs usually offer:

This makes them a preferred option for those seeking a more realistic appearance.
