Are you in the market for a new wig but feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of choices available? Fear not, I get it. I’m a wig specialist based in Calgary, Alberta (serving worldwide) and I’m here to support you through your entire wig journey, no matter where in that journey you are. Let’s break down the key factors to consider when choosing a wig.

1. Cap Comfort and Construction

The foundation of any wig is its cap, and the comfort it provides is crucial. Caps come in various materials, including lace, silicone, wefting, hand tying, and may feature ear tabs or silk. Exploring different cap constructions is essential to finding the look and feel that suits you best. Consider whether you have bio hair, as this can influence the construction you need. Don’t be afraid to try out a few different wigs to discover what works best for you.

2. Hair Type Matters

The type of hair used in a wig significantly impacts its overall appearance. Hair comes in different textures, so when deciding, think about whether you want a texture similar to your bio hair, or if you prefer more or less hair. Consider if you want the hair to feel thicker and coarser or softer and finer. Understanding your desired hair type is key to achieving the look you desire.

3. Playing with Colors

Choosing the right color is an exciting part of the wig selection process. You can stick with a color similar to your bio hair or take the opportunity to try something new. If you loved a particular color from your past, consider using a photo for reference. For those considering a different color, try them on or use an app that allows you to visualize the change before making a decision.

4. Trying Before Buying

If possible, visiting a wig shop or store is the best way to try on different options and find the perfect fit. However, if that’s not feasible, consider reaching out to an online wig seller that offers consultations. Look for a provider that provides support and guidance throughout your wig selection journey. If you’re local to Calgary, you can absolutely come in and try on some of the wigs and toppers that we have here in the salon.

5. Communication is Key

Don’t hesitate to reach out for support and advice, especially if you’re choosing your first wig or topper. Finding someone to talk to can make the process feel less overwhelming and can ensure you make the best investment in bonus hair that you’ll actually wear. Whether it’s a wig specialist, a friend, or a support group, sharing your journey can provide valuable insights and encouragement.

No matter what your reason is for wearing a wig or topper, remember, you’re not alone in your journey. Many more people are wearing wigs than we realize. Reaching out for support can make the process more manageable. Here’s to finding the perfect wig that makes you feel confident and beautiful!
