  Although there is nothing equal to your own head of hair, sometimes it so happens that supplements like wigs or hairpieces need to be used.  Selecting a wig however is fraught with problems. So in order to know what you need to buy, you have to know what is available. There are synthetic wigs and human hair wigs , both of which are durable and easy to wear. Human hair wigs give you a natural feel and you can do to a wig what you would do to your hair - set, style, touch up and some of them can even be re-dyed or permed. Let us learn a little bit about theses wigs.

Human hair-wigs can be used to cloak balding, to compensate for hair loss on account of illness, or they can be just worn as costumes and also to enhance your beauty. They come in various colors, are available in many sizes and styles. They can be used by just anybody -by people of all ages and having different body sizes.

When you want a human hair wig to match the natural shade of your hair, first cut  a piece of your natural hair roughly 2 inches long and half an  inch in width. Ensure that the place that you cut it from the place where the wig actually commences. This would usually mean that the upper layers of the hair would need to be cut and not the hairline. If you want to use the wig as an add on, then the base needs to be matched and not the ends.

Styling human wigs is as straight as styling your own hair, but when you use styling tools make sure that you they have been specially made for wigs only be it a hair dryer, a curling iron or a hot roller. If you want a curly style, use your fingertips and a wire brush to bring those curls on.. If you want a straight style, us a wig brush or a comb especially catering to wig styling. Always begin with the ends and work your way up. At the end of each day, the wig would need brushing and touching up with irons or rollers to retain the style. If you want to reduce the volume of the wig, first mist the wig with cool water and style with fingers or a styling brush. Once it dries, it will look sleeker and leaner in volume. While using sprays to hold the style, only use those, which have been made for wigs. Clean the wigs after a dozen wearings.

Cleaning the wig needs a little care. If there are tangles, remove them with a wire brush or your fingers, always starting at the bottom. If there are any marks, which have been left by make up, they can be removed using a toothbrush. After using shampoo and washing the wig clean, it is essential to use a conditioner. To dry the wig, just blot it with a clean towel. Twisting or wringing is absolutely taboo. Place the wig on a wire rack to dry and it is ready to use again. All said and done, human hay wigs can never really replace your own head of hair. So do take adequate care of it.
