A high quality wig will change your style and make you feel more confident and appreciative of yourself. When selecting a wig, we are faced with a wide variety of wigs and it is easy to get stuck in a selection dilemma. This article will briefly introduce 3 types of wigs and give you some information you should know before buying a wig
Headband wig
A headband wig is a very practical wig. This wig features a stretchy headband that gives you a stylish, sporty look. Putting on a headband and wig was easy enough for a new wig wearer. That’s why many people consider it the first wig. It takes you almost ten minutes to figure out how to wear this wig. If you’re new to wigs, this one will be perfect for you.
U part wig
U part wig is a classic gel-free wig. You can install it without using glue. For most people with glue allergies, the u part wig is a great option. Its vacant U-shaped space is just right to show off your native hair and allows your native hair to blend in perfectly with the wig and look incredibly natural.
Lace wig
Lace wigs are a little more expensive compared to the two wigs described above. This is because, at present, the lace part of the lace wig can not be mass-produced through machinery, must be completed by hand to weave. So to speak, lace wig is a craft or art. But this does not mean that lace wigs are not worth it. On the contrary, it can give you a very natural look and is more breathable than other wigs.

Material—-Made by human hair or synthetic hair
It is not surprising if you find that the cost you need to pay for a human hair wig is more than ten times the cost of buying a synthetic wig. Human hair wigs are indeed more expensive than synthetic wigs.
You get what you pay for. If you buy a human hair wig, then you can use it for more than 1 year or even 3 years. If you buy a synthetic wig, then you may have to live with its poor quality and embarrassing longevity.
If your wig needs to be used more than 3 to 4 times, and each use lasts more than 8 hours, then a human hair wig is always your first choice. Why do I recommend you to buy a human hair wig? Here are the reasons.
- human hair wigs have a longer lifespan
- human hair wigs are more resistant to wear and tear and folding than synthetic wigs
- human hair wigs can be permed to any shape you want
- human hair wigs can be dyed to your desired color
- human hair wig can be maintained by conditioner and coconut oil. But synthetic wig does not have any way to maintain. That is, once your synthetic wig is damaged, you can only buy a new one.

Maintain—-How to maintain wigs?
Maintaining a wig is not a difficult task. If you are buying a human hair wig, then you just need to treat it like you would your own hair. Among the many styles of wig wigs, curly wigs will be more difficult to care for compared to straight wigs. In other words, you need to master more tips to ensure that the curls of curly wigs are not altered. Specifically, you need to pay attention to the following points.
- Try to avoid using fine straightening combs to comb through curly hair wigs, otherwise curly hair wigs may become increasingly loose. Using a wide-tooth-comb for curly hair wigs helps curly hair to stay curly.
- When the curl of curly hair is broken, proper use of elastics can make it curly and beautiful again. Therefore, I recommend that you apply some elastomer after washing the wig to bring the curls back to life
- Curly wigs are more likely to become frizzy than straight wigs due to their construction. Therefore, I recommend that you apply conditioner to the curly wig every time you wash the wig to replenish the nutrients.

How to identify the quality of wig before you buy one?
- Read the product detail page carefully. You should be able to get various information about the wig on this page, such as the raw material of the hair, the life span, etc. If the product details do not clearly state that it is real hair (remy hair/virgin hair), then you need to be careful
- based on the scarcity of human hair, human hair wigs are almost impossible to be cheap. If you find a wig claiming they are a human hair wig, but the wig is unusually low, then you need to pick carefully
- Learn more about the brand’s wigs through social media platforms. Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok are all great channels to learn more about this brand of wigs. You can judge whether the product is reliable by other people’s reviews and comments.
