The pros & cons of wearing a wig

UKHairWeaves share their expertise about wearing a wig

 

Wigs are nothing new and can be dated back as far as ancient Egypt, but what we can say, is that they’re a hot accessory that enables you to change your look in a snap. In fact, it is now the norm for women including celebrities such as Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Hint: your work colleague may even be wearing one. We recommend doing your research so you can use only the best hair extensions for your wig so it can last for years. Just like all hair extension techniques, there are advantages and disadvantages of wearing a wig, but to make things easier here are a few things you may want to consider before purchasing your first wig. Even if you already have a few wigs under your belt you may learn a thing or two from this, so read on.

  • Due to the sheerness of the lace used at the bottom of the wig, a lace front wig is more vulnerable to damage than wigs using a thicker and sturdier base. Thanks for telling us the comparison of what is positive and negative in this.

  • I never knew that it was normal for celebrity women to wear wigs! My friend recently burnt off a section of her hair, but finds it embarrassing to wear a wig. I think telling her this would help her feel more comfortable.

    • Hi Bethany

      Yes, it's no secret that celebrities use wigs, weaves and different hair systems to make their hair look fuller, thicker and glossier for their film, TV and red carpet appearances. There's no shame in wearing a wig - many women see them as a fun accessory for switching up their look. And wigs have ditched their old fashioned connotations – you can get a very on trend look nowadays by getting it cut at your hairdresser's. A wig would be ideal for your friend to cover up her hair while her hair grows back.
