Styling Your Human Hair Wig

Whether you’ve had some experience wearing European hair wigs or are wearing human hair wigs for the first time, it’s always helpful to get some good styling tips. Just because it’s a wig, doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the same look everyday. European hair wigs and Ponytail Wigs are a great way to get some variety. And as we all know, variety is the spice of life!

As a general rule of thumb, use wire brushes and combs that are meant for wigs only. If you’re wearing a synthetic wig, never use a heated styling tool or you’ll end up melting it. Heated tools are okay to use on a human hair wig, but keep it at a low heat to prevent burning. To style, place the wig on your wig stand and remove the tangles with a wire brush. Next, use wig spray or a hairspray with very little alcohol to set the style. If you have some wig accessories, like headbands, scarves or barrettes, add them for a little extra flair.

If you're not happy with the length or thickness of your wig, you can always have it trimmed by a professional hairstylist. Just remember- once you cut a wig, it can never grow back, so don't get too carried away! Wear it to your appointment and ask the stylist to give you a cut that flatters your face. If you want a natural look, go with bangs. If you want something that's more low maintenance, opt for a short, stylish cut. Stylists can even dye your human hair wig if you want to spice up the color.
