If you asked me about a wig a few years ago, my response would have been "OMG, I'd never wear a wig. They're too hot." Nowadays, wigs are my goto fashion accessory. Wigs are a great way to switch up your hairstyle with minimal effort.
Whether it's human hair, synthetic hair, lace front wigs, half wigs, short or long, there is a wig to fit your style.
With so many selections to choose from finding a wig can be daunting but here are a few tips to help making wig buying a little easier.
1. Purpose. Decide what look you're going for. Are you going to work or releasing your inner Bey? Wigs are perfect for those transitioning from relaxed to natural hair or those undergoing chemo or persons with alopecia or thinning hair.
2. Color. Are you trying to match your current hair color or trying something totally new? Either way a wig is a great way to try a new hair color without making a hair color commitment. I remember once I colored my hair and the color was too dark. I had to wait nearly 3 months for the color to fade. I never colored my hair again. Oh the things we learn from Kitchen Chemistry.
Notice the subtleties between these 3 colors of the same wig in Black Cherry, Black and Natural.
Each has it own distinct color and texture. So it's always a good idea to look at a variety of colors to find the color that's best for you.
3. Length. Are you Team Long Hair Don't Care or Short and Carefree? Wigs come in various lengths, find a length to meet your style and rock it. If your locks are long, don't worry you can still rock a short look without cutting your hair. A wig cap is an easy way to tuck your tresses under your wig.
I love this mid length lace front wig. Lace front wigs are the preferred wigs of several celebrities and it's easy to see why. Lace front wigs have a tiny lace panel which looks really natural when worn properly.

4. Type. If you don't mind styling your wig frequently, human hair wigs may be more your style. Human hair wigs can withstand daily styling with curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers. However, if you prefer to just grab and go, you may want to consider a synthetic wig. Synthetic wigs maintain their style a little longer and are less expensive than human hair wigs.
5. Be Adventurous. Instead of buying just one wig, consider buying 2 or more. You can find affordable wigs at beauty stores worldwide or online at retailers like BlackHairspray.com.
