How To Wear African American Wigs?
By Clint
Cheap wigs have become the ultimate accessory. They come in a large variety of lengths, styles, and colors, while still being very affordable. Movie stars are famous for wearing wigs, so why shouldn’t ordinary women wear them too? Women do a lot of things to look and feel better: they draw on eyebrows, paint their faces with eye liners and lip liners, use false fingernails and eye lashes, color their hair to change their looks. But one thing that is sometimes overlooked as the ultimate makeover is wearing a new wig.

Sometimes when you want to give your hair a break from the heat or the chemicals in styling products, you can opt for a wig. Human hair wigs are the best way to go if you would like to purchase a wig and wear it long term. They are versatile and you can style them just as you would normal hair. However, if you are looking for cheap wigs, sometimes, but this is not always the best option. Natural hair wigs are generally much more expensive than synthetic hairpieces.

There are wig shops and sites that sell all kinds of wigs, for example there are stores that specialize in costume wigs or african american wigs. You should know that most known wigmakers have an African American line. Even within one line there may be up to a couple hundred styles – hair can be short, medium or long, slightly curly or very curly.

When it comes to selecting african american wigs you should look for one that matches your own natural hair and color.  Using a hairpiece which does not drastically differ from your existing hair makes it easier to disguise that you are actually wearing a wig. The wig can look very realistic if you select one that fits properly and you wear it correctly. If you hair

is long you may need to braid it in a bee hive. You can also wear a wig cap to push your real hair down, so the wig can be more easily fixed into place against your scalp.

You can also have your braids tucked under by wrapping them under your hair, or by piling them on top. If your hair is not braided, you can wear it into a flat bun at the top of your head. Women have admitted to having braided their hair in conjunction with wearing a wig to make the overall look to become fuller and longer. After searching for a while, they also can find cheap wigs which closely match their natural hair appearance. Wearing a wig is a great way of growing out your hair while not allowing people to see how it looks like – once your own hair is fully grown you can stop wearing your wig and surprise everyone.

African american wigs can sometimes have issues; particularly with pieces that are extra long or heavy. Due to their weight, the wigs can shift while being worn. However, if the wigs fit properly - they usually have straps you can adjust for size - they shouldn't move around too much. Proper fitting allows experienced wig users to wear them day to day without incident. If you use bobby pins to secure your wig, you should also be fine. As for comfort, some people with short hair may feel itchy when wearing wigs. If this is the case, it is recommended to use a wig cap or even makeshift panty hose pieces sewn to the parts that are scratchy and uncomfortable. Wig caps are usually the easiest solution as they go over your natural hair and allow you to comfortably put a wig over.
