What makes a wig look natural?

Plucking the hair along the part of the wig and the hairline can give a more natural appearance. Plan to replace your synthetic wigs every 3 to 6 months and replace human hair wigs every 6 to 12 months. The wigs with rooted colors, on the other hand, mimic the natural gradients of biological hair by mixing several colors. Can't find a wig you like with rooted colors? Look for a wig that is a “mix” of two colors or ask a stylist to give your wig highlights and highlights two tones beyond the base color of the wig.

Then slowly slide the wig back over your head, adjusting it as you go, until the bottom of the wig touches the back of the neck. By spending time looking at wigs and natural hair, you'll be able to understand the small adjustments you can make to a wig to make it look more natural. Each wigs vendor has different sizes, so it's better to be safe and know how many centimeters you need rather than blindly relying on sizes S, M or L. Lace wigs have these amazing separations that look a little through, so it looks like the hair is growing from the scalp.

Over the course of my wig life, I have learned a LOT of tips and techniques to make my wigs look as natural and realistic as possible.

All of these tips are great, but ultimately the best tip for making a wig look natural is to start with a 100% human hair wig. Whether you have a synthetic or real human hair wig, you can adjust the hair to fit your face shape and personal style. If you're worried about buying something that's too small for you, keep in mind that most wigs have a strap (usually Velcro) that will allow you to adjust it by half an inch either way. There are hundreds of videos on my YouTube channel, many of which can serve as your personal wig training, teaching you how to wear wigs, tips and tricks, as well as techniques to make your wig look as natural as possible.

When considering how to wear a wig and make it look natural, you need to make sure that the wig is correctly placed on your head, aligning it with the natural hairline. You can also make it look more realistic by placing the wig in a braid, ponytail or bun, as you would normally do with your hair.
