The Real Scoop on Human Hair Wigs...

If you are looking for more information about Real Human Hair Wigs, then here's some of what you need to know in order to find the right hair wig for you. Some people just want a different look for their hairstyle, while others wear real human hair wigs out of necessity due to thinning hair or some other mishap. Chemotherapy patients often wear real hair wigs when their chemo treatments for cancer cause them to lose hair. Besides hair loss and a style change, some people just happen to get really bad haircuts and prefer to wear a wig. Whatever your reason for purchasing a hair wig made of real human hair, you'll want to get one that suits your style and budget.

Most people prefer real human hair wigs over synthetic wigs because they look more natural. Make sure the wig you get is made out of 100% human hair. Usually these wigs come in front lace or full lace varieties. Lengths can vary from very short to very long. Real hair wigs are also a great solution for people who only need half wigs or 3/4 wigs to match their hair. With real hair wigs, you also have the option of taking them to your hair stylist. A good stylist can then shape the wig to best suit your head and facial structure. This is purely optional, however, as most real hair wigs come pre-styled.

Once you have acquired your hair wig, you'll need to pay proper attention to the washing and care instructions. This is one of the few downsides of a real human hair wig compared to a synthetic hair wig, but don't worry--caring for your wig is fairly simple and the better you care for the wig, the longer it'll last and stay looking beautiful. Most real hair wigs will come with care instructions, but basically you just need to get an appropriate wig shampoo to keep it clean. When you are cleaning the wig, be sure to never rub the shampoo in and out of the wig, as a rubbing motion can tangle up the hairs. If this ever happens, you can use a wig brush or comb, but it's more important to prevent this from happening and only rely on a hair comb or brush for styling.

One more step you'll want to take to ensure the longevity and beauty of your wig is to store it on a wig stand when you're not wearing it. The reason for this is similar to why you want to use shoe trees for a nice pair of dress shoes--you want the wig to "breathe" properly and maintain its shape. Many wig stands come in the form of mannequin heads that can sit on any desk or table in your home. There are also collapsible ones available for when you do your traveling.
