HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE WITH A WIG ON THAT JUST SCREAMS "I'M A WIG" OR "I'M A HAT WITH HAIR". THIS IS A MAJOR NO! NO! WIGS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK NATURAL AND ENHANCE YOUR LOOK. WHETHER YOU ARE WEARING A WIG AS A FASHION STATEMENT, FOR CONVENIENCE, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, OR JUST TO ENHANCE OR CHANGE YOUR LOOK DRAMATICALLY WITHOUT ALTERING YOUR REAL HAIR. I HAVE FOR YOU ALL THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF WIGGERY. I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU SOME TIPS MASTER HAIRSTYLIST AROUND THE WORLD USE WHEN WORKING WITH WIGS.

 

 

YOU WRONG FOR THAT (MAJOR WIG MISTAKES)

 

• WEARING A WIG TO LONG.... SYNTHETIC WIGS SHOULD BE CHANGED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. HUMAN WIGS SHOULD NOT BE WORN MORE THAN TWO WEEKS. **REMEMBER THIS IS NOT YOUR HAIR**
• DO NOT JUMP IN A POOL WITH A PINNED DOWN WIG.... THE CHLORINE IN THE WATER WILL DESTROY THE WIG AND MORE IMPORTANTLY.**THIS IS NOT YOUR HAIR AND WE KNOW IT SO DON'T**
• DO NOT WEAR WIG GLUE OFTEN... (IF YOU ENJOY HAVING EDGES).
• DO NOT DO LACEFRONT WIGS AT ALL LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS**EVEN THEY GET IT WRONG AT TIMES**
• DON'T DO THE CRESCENT MOON HAIRLINE
• DON''T THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WEAR A WIG DIRECTLY FROM THE PACKAGE. **THIS IS TAKING READY TO WEAR TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL NOT CUTE**
• DON'T GET WIG IN A OUTRAGEOUS COLOR**YOU WILL LOOK LIKE A CLOWN AND BE SUBJECT TO POINTS,STARES, AND SNICKERS POSSIBLY FROM ME**.
• WEARING YOUR WIG TOO LONG

 

 

 

WIG DO'S

 

• BE SURE TO GET AN AGE APPROPRIATE WIG
• MEASURE THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR HEAD TO GET YOUR CORRECT WIG SIZE.**IMPORTANT UNLESS WIG HAS DRAWSTRINGS**.
• DO SHAMPOO YOUR WIG PRIOR TO WEARING AND HANG DRY.
• WHEN NOT IN USE PLACE ON A WIG HEAD**IMPORTANT TO KEEP SHAPE AND TANGLE FREE**.
• TRY HALF WIGS**BE SURE TO MATCH COLOR AND TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR**.
• COVER YOUR HAIR WITH WIG CAP**BE SURE TO SMOOTH YOUR HAIR DOWN COMPLETELY**.
• DO TAKE YOUR WIG TO A STYLIST TO BE CUT, STYLED,AND SHAPED TO YOUR FACE VERY IMPORTANT! **EVEN THE $20 SYNTHETIC WIGS NEED THIS**
• BRUSH OUT CURLY WIGS FOR A MORE REALISTIC LOOK.

 

 

 

 

WIG TIPS (SECRETS FROM MASTER WIG STYLIST)

 

• SHAMPOOING WIGS BEFORE WEARING WILL GET RID OF THAT SHINY "WIG" LOOK.
• IF WIG IS STILL A LITTLE SHINY AFTER WASHING USE A POWDER BRUSH AND APPLY A LIGHT COATING OF BABY POWDER TO WIG. SHAKE OFF EXCESS AND THIS SHOULD TAKE AWAY THAT OVER THE TOP SHINE.
• DON'T SHAMPOO SYNTHETIC HAIR WITH SHAMPOO. SYNTHETIC HAIR IS MADE OF FIBER SO SHAMPOO WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY. INSTEAD USE DISH DETERGENT FOR WASHING AND FABRIC SOFTENER FOR CONDITIONING.
• FOR HUMAN HAIR WIGS USE WIG SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER
• HANG DRY ALWAYS
• BUY THE MOST NATURAL LOOKING WIG AS POSSIBLE WITH A MODERN STYLE.
• EXPENSIVE WIGS ARE NOT NECESSARILY SUPERIOR.
• ABSOLUTELY NO HEAT ON SYNTHETIC WIGS.
• HEAT UP TO 300 DEGREES FOR HEAT FRIENDLY FIBER WIGS
• BE SURE TO USE HEAT TOOLS THAT ALLOW YOU TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE ON HEAT FRIENDLY FIBER WIGS.
• TEST A PORTION IN THE BACK WITH HEAT TO BE SURE YOUR IRON IS NOT TO HOT.
• HUMAN HAIR WIGS CAN WITH STAND HEAT, COLOR(PROFESSIONALS ONLY), BLOW DRY; ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO YOUR HAIR.

THIS IS YOUR GUIDE TO THE PERFECT WIG..... SO LETS DO AWAY WITH THE HAT HAIR AND ENHANCE OUR LOOKS WITH A BEAUTIFUL, SASSY, WIG. **REMEMBER WIGS ARE NOT YOUR HAIR BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE IT**.
