Is human hair
better than synthetic?
NO! Choosing a
type of wig is more of a personal preference. For example, a person looking for
a wig that is easy to maintain and less expensive would choose a synthetic
wig. A person looking for a wig they plan on wearing everyday and that they
can curl themselves would choose a human hair wig.
Keep in mind
that just because human hair wigs cost more it does not mean they are the
"better" wigs to buy. Many times a high quality synthetic wig looks more
realistic than a low quality human hair wig.
Human Hair
- more versatility, longer durability, custom styling and coloring. More
difficult to take care of because each time it gets wet, it will lose the style
just like your own hair does.
Synthetic Hair
– look natural, less expensive, pre-styled, require less care, easy to maintain
and pre-styled. Holds basic curls after washing (wash-and-wear).
1 - Hair back and secure with pins or a headband so hair is completely
off the face.
2 - Stand 12" from a mirror and look straight into it -- or have
someone take a picture of you facing straight into the camera with your hairline
showing.
3 - Outline your face with a marker on the mirror with tracing paper,
or on the photo.
4 - Now look at your face shape in the mirror or photo drawing. Choose
the shape that most closely resembles your own. If your face is a combination of
shapes, choose styles based on the following criteria, which most flatter your
particular shape.
 |
Oval - Perfect face
shape & will suit most styles. |
 |
Round - Stay away from
center partings & rounded curl movements, which accentuate the roundness
of the face, making the face appear wider. It's best to avoid short and
sleeked-back hairstyles, full, straight-falling bangs. Wear longer styles
closer to the face to give length. Hair below the chin line should be
worn with a face-lengthening center part; for hair above chin line, wear
an off-center part to interrupt the roundness. In short-angled styles, you
are best seen with hair brushed away from the face, building extra crown
height to narrow the roundness of your features. Though bangs shorten the
face, you can wear curly, tousled bangs or a soft wispy fringe.

 |
Square - Avoid width
in this area & solid lines etc.
Go for long wispy fringes, chin length layers & shapes that hug the
face. Never wear straight bangs. Wear your best styles with hair swinging
forward onto the face to reduce the angles. Hair worn on the forehead is
always perfect for you, as long as it is wispy or fringed. Hair turned
under at the bottom also will narrow the width of the jaw. Styles in loose
curls and waves add extra dimension to the square face. |
 |
Oblong - Avoid solid
lines & long flat styles. Breaking up the length with layers around the
eyes, cheekbones & ears create texture & movement. A fringe will
effectively 'shorten' the length of the face. Round curly styles will do
the same & a side parting will create the effect of roundness to soften
the length. |
 |
Heart-shaped - Avoid
height & volume at the temple area. |
 |
Pear-shaped – A big
no-no to take the hair away and back off the face. Bring some width above
the cheekbones and avoid solid lines & width at the jaw line. |
