For many women, wearing a wig is still a big taboo.
We at Parukapoes want to put an end to this, because we know that today's wigs are much better than their reputation. The word "wig" makes most of us uncomfortable because it doesn't look like what it's supposed to be, namely your own hair.
Many consider the wig to be an old-fashioned and fossilized phenomenon associated only with older people.
Maybe you are thinking about wigs that blow in the wind and are too big and thick and above all unnatural.
But it doesn't have to be like that at all.
Wigs that keep up with the times
Today, wigs are made to look very natural.
In the wig market, product development has progressed rapidly. Most of them these days are hand made or have an element of hand making along with what is called monofilament.
In this way, a very natural look is achieved, creating the illusion of hair growing naturally out of the scalp. You can choose your wig with streaks and an outgrowth effect so that the color looks completely natural. The natural mixture of colors gives the wig more life.
If you have started to grow gray hair, you can find a wig that contains gray color in several different shades and percentages of gray.
In fact, you can get really playful and choose a really awesome wig for yourself 😊
Names of wigs
Many wigs today also have a lace front, an invisible hairline.
The weakest part of the wig is the front. It should preferably be invisible and very light. To achieve this, there is a lace front (let's just call it that), which is a thin mesh where each strand of hair is knotted at the bottom one by one and the density is so low that the front of the wig resembles a completely natural hairline.
Remember that lace front wigs must be handled very gently to avoid damaging the front part.
Choose the right size wig
Most people have different head sizes.
But the most important measurement is the head circumference. Today, you can choose a wig size from S to L.
In the back of the wigs, there are velcro fastenings, with which you can adjust the size of the wig up to 1.5 cm
A wig should fit well and securely and not be distracting, so fit is important. Always make sure that the circumference of your head is measured correctly so that your new hair fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear.
The wig must not fit too tightly or too loosely, and it must not be tilted on the head or placed too high on the forehead.
The place of the wig on the forehead
The wig has its completely natural place on the forehead and it must not be too low.
Otherwise, it will look unnatural.
This is a mistake that many people make as they want to ensure that the wig fits securely. A wig finds its natural balance when it is perfectly sized and fit and sits where it should, especially on the forehead.
You can measure the distance from the tip of the nose to the edge of the eyebrows. It is usually the width of 3-4 fingers. The same distance must be from the edge of your eyebrows to the bottom edge of the wig.
This way you can be sure that the wig is in the right place and your hairline looks natural.
There is another concern, many people do not have a round head and then you feel that the wig is moving upwards all the time. There is also a solution for this today, an adjustable velvet wig band , which prevents the wig from moving inappropriately on the head.
