Wednesday, July 23, 2014 4:02:14 AM Europe/London

So, you have finally found yourself the perfect human hair wig and just love the way it looks. You need to understand that your wig has an assumed shelf life. To get the full value of your investment you need to ensure that your wig is properly maintained. Here are a few tips on how to maintain your human hair wig and make it last longer.

If you want to give your human hair wigs that bouncy healthy look, you can always try natural oils. The most commonly used oils for hair include avocado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. Avocado oil is great for dry brittle hair that is severely damaged. It is rich in protein, multi-vitamins, and fatty acids. Olive oil is also great for dry and brittle hair as it facilitates natural moisture restoration and gives a shine that stays on for an extended period of time. Coconut oil is the most popular agent for repairing hair of all kinds. Your wig will benefit immensely from the pure organic ingredients and apart from that, it has a distinctly sweet smell.

Another factor you need to keep in perspective when it comes to maintaining your human hair wigs is to avoid frequent washing. Regular washing can cut down on the quality of your wigs and reduce its life. Remember to wash your wig only after wearing it several times. Besides washing, you can always clean your wig using a soft bristled brush.

Before washing your human hair wigs, you need to ensure that you remove all the tangles. Of course, you need to be careful when combing through the tangles or it may just result in a break off. You need to comb through your hair very gently. Today, you have a wide array of brushes available on the market to maintain your hair.

When washing your wig, you need to leave the wig to soak in a mixture of lukewarm water and wig shampoo for several minutes. Immediately after the wash, squeeze out the water from the wig. Make sure that you use shampoos that are designed for human hair wigs.

What Is a Capless Wig?

People wearing wigs dates back for centuries. Fortunately, the construction of wigs has come a long way since then. The wig industry has revolutionized its design to be adjustable, more comfortable, cooler and breathable. Capless wigs are a specific design of wig that can be worn by people with or without hair. You will find capless wigs used to complement a costume, as a fashion accessory, to change up a look or to mimic real hair after hair thinning or loss.

 

Definition

A capless wig is a specific type of wig construction that people wear. It has rows of hair sewn together without an underlying solid cap underneath.

 

Construction

The wefts of hair are sewn onto thin cotton or lace ribbons, instead of being a solid cap of hair. These ribbons are then constructed together on the wig. The ribbons are flexible and stretch so they can shape to the head of the wearer. There are also adjustable straps or hooks at the nape of the neck to secure the wig in place. The adjustable straps are often made of Velcro.

 

Advantages

Capless wigs allow your head to stay cooler than solid capped wigs. This is due to the fact that it is made with less hair and the specific capless construction allows for some air flow to the head and scalp. Earlier in wig construction, they were made without adjustable straps, they were much hotter and they only came in one size.

 

Type of Hair

The hair used to make capless wigs can be synthetic hair or human hair. The later material will most likely be more expensive, although it depends on the quality of the product, where the wig is made and the specific manufacturer.

 

 

1. Synthetic hair requires minimal styling in hot and humid weather.

 

2. Short styles keep your hair off your neck.

 

3. Long wigs can be worn in a side-braid or low updo to stay cool.
