If you already own or are thinking about purchasing your first human hair wig—here are our favourite styling tips and some valuable industry insight that will help you elevate your look and allow you to get the most out of your new Lace Fronts Australia human hair wig.

OWN YOUR LOOK.

The key to pulling off your look is by having the right attitude and giving off a confident and subtle self-assured look when wearing your favourite Lace Fronts Australia human hair wig. If you are constantly worrying or fidgeting with your wig it will take away for the appeal and attract unwanted attention. Walk tall, be confident and you will pull off absolutely any look. If you choose a high quality human hair wig, most of the time no one will have a clue that it’s not your real hair anyway!

STAY CLOSE TO WHAT YOU LOVE.

For those who are slightly apprehensive or new to wearing a wig in public—opt for a style that is familiar to you. Choosing a style that is relatively close to what you may already have or have worn in the past will help you feel more relaxed in public spaces. A familiar style will help you feel confident and in control. If you want to make the transition from wearing your own hair to wearing wigs far more pleasant, keep it simple. Experiment with subtle style variations, but always stay within your comfort zone. This journey is a completely personal one.

WASH AND BLOW DRY YOUR WIG PROPERLY.

First, detangle your human hair wig with a wide-toothed comb or paddle brush to achieve ultimate smoothness. Then, wash your wig with lukewarm water and wig shampoo, rubbing in a downward direction from the roots to ends. Don’t forget to cleanse the inside of the cap as the cap will hold oils and sweat from your scalp. After washing, apply conditioner—but be sure to avoid the root area of your human hair wig. Let your conditioned wig sit for approximately 3 minutes. Rinse the wig thoroughly, and blot it dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid wringing out your wig because this can cause the hair to damage and tangle unnecessarily. If your wig has a monofilament part or top feature, part the hair with a wide-toothed comb after patting the wig dry. Finish this process by applying your favourite styling products, such as a detangler, heat-protecting spray, or hair oil.

INVEST IN THE RIGHT HAIR CARE PRODUCTS.

If you want to prolong the lifespan of your favourite wig and keep it looking luscious for longer—the proper care products are essential. Synthetic wigs require care products specifically formulated for synthetic hair wigs. However, for your human hair wig, opt for sulfate free haircare products or products that are specifically formulated for colour treated hair. This will ensure your colour is protected and your human hair wig colour will remain rich and vibrant for longer.

STYLE YOUR WIG WHEN IT’S DRY.

Human hair wigs need to be blow dried for the best styling results because they don’t retain their styling after being washed like synthetic wigs do. Human hair will return to its original state once dried therefore will require more styling than a synthetic option. It’s best to use your hand or a wig stand to prop up your wig while you’re blow drying it for convenience and full access to each strand of hair. Blow dry your wig until it’s about 50% dry—then you’re in the clear to commence styling.

TIP: If possible let your wig air dry on your wig stand. Just like on real hair, using excessive heat tools for styling can be a source of damage which will decrease the lifespan of your human hair wig. For this reason, it’s recommended you try letting your wig air dry as often as you can, as this is a more considerate approach for wig fibres. If you must use a hair dryer select the cool air setting and angle the airflow downwards for a more gentle blow dry.

GIVE YOURSELF A 360° VIEW.

Try pinning your wig to a canvas wig head, or placing it on a foam head or generic wig stand to give yourself a 360° view of your wig. This will allow you to style the wig as a whole rather than in increments. Make sure you don’t puncture any of the monofilament or lace material on your wig with pins while styling.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR PART.

Once your wig is on your wig stand or canvas head, wet the roots of your wig with water from a spray bottle. Comb your wig with a wide tooth comb to untangle. If you have a monofilament top or lace front wig this is the point where you can alter the location of your part on your wig with your chosen comb. Lock your new part in place using your blow dryer with an air concentrator attachment on low heat. Dry the roots toward the back of your wig until they are in your desired location.

TIP: If you’re travelling with your wig—the best way is to get a wig box so that your wig can be put into your suitcase without any hesitation. This will ensure your wig is ready to go on the other side!

CREATE DIFFERENT STYLES.

If your chosen wig is at the length of your chin or longer, try a half-up, half-down hairstyle. This is ideal as it keeps your hair out of your face but gives you that luscious full look. For longer wigs, try a loose updo or low ponytail—this is perfect for the warmer weather too as it keeps the hair off your neck. To make your updo or low ponytail more appealing, try to keep it soft, loose and slightly messy for the ultimate natural look.

TRY A MADE-TO-ORDER LUXURY HUMAN HAIR WIG.

Lace Fronts Australia offers a range of ready to ship wigs that are made to an extremely high standard and will leave you looking and feeling fresh. However, they also offer custom and made to order wigs to fulfill all your wildest hair dreams. If you have been wanting a particular style human hair wig, but haven’t come across the absolute perfect one just yet—try buying custom made from Lace Fronts Australia. The pricing is not too much more than the ready to ship human hair wig prices and the result will be completely personalised and stunning.

TIP: Unfortunately $10 Cosplay wigs won’t look as fabulous as the photo! Nothing can beat a high quality ready to ship or made to order human hair wig.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO DOUBLE UP.

Particularly if you are an everyday wig wearer—always ensure you have a secondary wig available to wear. This way you will always have a gorgeous wig to wear when you are washing your wig or just as a backup if anything was to happen to one. There’s nothing more frustrating than being without your favourite wig when you need it most. Rotating between wigs will also help to prolong their life.

TIP: Custom made lace front wigs can replicate any hairstyle. All you need to do is show your wig extraordinaire your inspirations and wait for the end result. Recently, Billie Eilish revealed that she wore a wig to the Grammys while getting ready to reveal her new blonde ‘do—and no one had a clue!

MIX UP YOUR COLOUR.

If you have secured your ideal styled wig for your particular face shape but are wanting to be a little more creative—try getting this exact wig in a different colour. You are guaranteed to love this fresh new take on your signature look. It’s common for wig wearers to be able to wear wigs that are up to three shades darker or lighter than their natural colour so the possibilities are quite broad if you’re wanting to revamp your look by changing wig colours. Try changing up the colour of your wig with the season too. It’s very common for people to want to go lighter for summer and spring then darker in the fall and winter months. Experimenting with colour is a fun and easy way to completely overhaul your look.

BE CAREFUL IN THE KITCHEN.

This one is for synthetic wig wearers who love to cook! Make sure you never open the oven while wearing your synthetic wig. This sudden rush of heat will ruin your wig and even the hot steam from a boiling pot of water can cause irreparable damage to your favourite synthetic wig. Swap your synthetic wig for a high-quality human hair wig which is more practical in a kitchen setting.

GET THE RIGHT SIZE.

An important factor to ensure you don’t have an ill fitting wig is getting your measurements right. If you have a wig custom made, Lace Fronts Australia wig experts will make sure all your measurements are perfect and the end result is the ideal fit. If you’re buying ready to ship, ensure you select the right size so your wig doesn’t ride up or slip off in public. Wigs with excess bulk at the crown can look quite unnatural. Choosing the right size is just as important as finding the right colour and style. Lace Fronts Australia wigs are fit with adjustable sides that allow you to tighten or loosen your wig as desired. Generally, there is approximately half an inch of movement with these adjustable straps which allows for some decent wriggle room. All Lace Fronts Australia human hair wigs are complete with smooth velvet tabs at the nape of the neck which will secure your wig and allow for ultimate comfort.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO ACCESSORISE.

Just because you are wearing a wig, does not mean you need to hinder your creativity when it comes to styling. Add a headband, scarf or any hair accessory you desire to give your look an individual edge.

TRY A NEW LOOK.

The beauty of wearing wigs is that you can try a new look whenever you feel like it—as you aren’t constricted by the restraints of natural hair. You have the freedom to try that gorgeous 26” platinum blonde do’ without the risk of your hair falling out in the shower due to harsh product use.
