Wigs have been used for thousands of years for aesthetic purposes as well as for theatrical purposes. The use of wigs is generally associated with women but men are very easily the largest clientele of Wig-making companies. Men normally use wigs to counter the deficiency of nature as disguising the bald pate is like an instant make-over that makes one look younger and boosts self-confidence.

 

 

Once you have decided to go in for a wig there are a number of procedures to be followed. You cannot just buy one and dump it on your head and forget about it. Firstly, men wigs can come in various sizes such as petite, average and large and selecting the right size would lead to better comfort. Next, you have to decide whether you want a custom-made one or want to pick one of the shelf. Then it is time to decide whether or not your wig is going to be natural human hair or is it going to be a synthetic one. After you have made all these choices and more and have finally got your new wig that is styled to your tastes and needs, the matter doesn't end there. You need to care for you wig as you would for your own head of hair - perhaps even more, given that wigs are crafted items.

 

A wig for men must be washed often and conditioned and styled if you want it to look natural and last longer. Specific instructions that come with the purchase of the wig must be followed. Wigs must always be stored on a "wig stand" or "head form" to retain the shape and only design and cleaning products designed specifically for use on wigs should be utilized.
