Have you ever said the following: [I don`t want a wig that looks `wiggy.`" Somehow, you know exactly what that word means. [Wig" is not an actual word. You won`t find it in any dictionary. Yet, we all know with utmost certainty what it means. [Wig" is when a hairpiece just doesn`t look natural. Sometimes it`s an overzealous perma-tease. Other times, it`s an overly slick shine. It`s hard to describe, but we all know it when we see it.
Realistic Looking Wigs.
Choosing the right wig is an art. Typically, you want to look for a lace front with a monofilament cap for the most natural look. The lace front handles the hairline at the front, while the monofilament cap gives you a realistic part. Both involve the wig hair being tied directly into a mesh or lace base. This allows airflow (yay!) and a looks as if the hair is growing right out of the scalp (double yay!). Unsurprisingly, these tend to be the priciest options. It makes sense. You get what you pay for.
What about the material? Do you have to go with human hair wig for a natural look? Yes, if it was 20 years ago. Today, with all the advances we have made in wig construction, you`re good to go with either type. Human hair, of course, has the benefit of being the real thing. Synthetic hair, meanwhile, is ready to wear and doesn`t lose its style.
Synthetic Hair Wigs .
For you, perhaps the most natural look would be synthetic. Personally, I don`t have the time to style a human hair wig. One look at my biological hair and that`s clear. Naturally, a human hair wig would be just as neglected. Every day would be ponytail day. For me, a synthetic would be the most realistic wig purely because it`d be styled.
What`s natural and realistic to one person isn`t the same to another. It`s all a personal choice. Still, you might want to focus on the lace front and monofilament features. These features give you the most natural look. You don`t have to break the bank just to own a realistic wig.
