Wigs have been around for centuries, but in recent years, they've become increasingly popular as a way to change up one's appearance or to cover hair loss. Whether you're looking to try out a new hairstyle, add some volume or length, or just have some fun, wigs can be a great option.

In Detroit, wigs have been popular for years. It started with closure wigs because of the ease of putting them on and off but now the popularity lace front wigs have exploded. 

In this blog post, we'll explore the world of wigs, discussing the different types available, how to care for them, and how to style them to achieve the perfect look.

Types of Wigs

First, let's take a look at the different types of wigs available. One of the most popular types is synthetic wigs, which are made from synthetic fibers that are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural hair. These wigs are typically less expensive than human hair wigs and are easier to style, but they may not last as long or look as natural. You can find synthetic wigs at your local beauty supply store.

Human hair wigs, on the other hand, are made from real human hair and offer a more natural look and feel. These wigs are more expensive than synthetic wigs, but they can be styled just like natural hair and can last for several years with proper care.

There are also different types of wig caps available, including basic caps, which are the most common type and consist of a simple stretchy material that fits over the head; lace front wigs, which have a sheer lace layer at the front of the wig that allows for a more natural-looking hairline; and monofilament wigs, which have a transparent base that allows the wearer to part the wig in any direction.

Caring for your Wigs

Now that we've covered the different types of wigs available, let's talk about how to care for them. Proper care is essential to ensure that your wig stays looking its best and lasts as long as possible. If you have a synthetic wig, it's important to use a wig brush or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle the hair.

Avoid using heat styling tools on synthetic wigs, as this can cause the fibers to become damaged. When it comes to washing a synthetic wig, use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, and avoid rubbing the hair too vigorously. Instead, gently squeeze the hair to remove excess water and pat it dry with a towel.

Human hair wigs require a bit more maintenance, as they can be styled with heat and washed just like your natural hair. Use a heat protectant spray before styling with heat, and be sure to use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner when washing.

Avoid using hot water, as this can strip the hair of its natural oils and cause it to become dry and brittle. It's also a good idea to use a leave-in conditioner or a serum to help protect and moisturize the hair.

Styling Your Wig

When it comes to styling your wig, the options are endless. If you have a synthetic wig, you'll need to be a bit more careful with styling, as heat styling tools can cause the fibers to become damaged. Instead, try using rollers or braids to create natural-looking waves or curls.

If you have a human hair wig, you can style it just like you would your natural hair, using heat styling tools and your favorite products. Just be sure to use a heat protectant spray to help protect the hair from heat damage.

In conclusion, wigs are a great option for those looking to change up their look or dealing with hair loss. With so many different types and construction styles to choose from, there's a wig to suit everyone. Just be sure to choose high-quality w
