How to Choose a Wig That Complements Your Face Shape

Learn which wig types complement your face shape.

The right wig will complement the shape of your face.

Many people mistakenly think all wig styles look great on anyone. Unfortunately, choosing the wrong hair pieces can create questionable results. Your face shape plays a significant role in selecting the right option for looking your best.

Oval

The oval face shape is the most common among women and offers proportional features. Because the entire head is proportional, this shape looks good with just about any type of wig. If this describes you, it won’t matter which style you choose.

Round

A round face is proportional as well, but because the face is just as wide as it is tall, certain hairstyles don’t offer the look you want. For this face shape, it is often better to choose hair pieces that offer additional height on the top without adding width to the sides of the face. Short layers and wispy bangs are great choices.

Heart

The heart shaped face is wider at the top, typically near the eyes, forehead and eyebrows, and tapers down to the chin. Women with this face shape can benefit from hair pieces that stay closer to the head at the top and fluff out at the bottom. The layered look helps widen the face at the bottom.

Pear

This face shape is the opposite of the heart shape, with wider features at the bottom and narrower features at the top. Choosing a wig with fuller layers at the top, potentially in a shorter cut, will create the right look for your face shape. It is often best to avoid using bangs.

Oblong

An oblong face is similar to an oval, but instead of tapering at the top and bottom, the width remains the same. For these women, choosing wigs with curls or waves to add volume to the sides can create the illusion of the desired oval face. Bangs can also help soften features. Bob and wedge cuts often work best.

Diamond

Women who identify as a diamond face shape have wide cheekbones with narrower forehead and chin. For these women, it can be difficult to choose the right wig to avoid adding too much volume to the sides. Bob hairstyles are often preferred for this face shape, while shoulder-length hair can also work well.

Square

The square face shape features an even width throughout the face, as well as an equal height. As you choose hair pieces, look for wigs that add height to the top and not a lot of volume to the sides. The best type of wigs include mid-length, curly hair.

Choosing the right hair pieces can help complement your face shape. When you don’t pay attention to the relationship between the shape of your face and yourwigs, you may not create the flattering look you want. These tips can help you make better style choices.

Tips for Wearing Your Wig Comfortably, Even in the Summer Heat

Learn how to wear your wig more comfortably.

A wig can be hot in the summer but may still be your preferred style.

Wearing a wig or other hair piece can be a great way to have the hair you’ve always dreamed of. However, if you aren’t used to wearing hair replacement pieces on a regular basis, it can be uncomfortable, at least at first. To help you wear your wig more comfortably, especially during the hot summer months, these tips should help.

Consider Synthetic

Many people who wear hair pieces prefer human or remy hair. While these wigs tend to look more natural, they are also thicker, which can make your hair replacement piece feel hot in the summer. For the hottest months of the year, consider using synthetic hair instead.

Choose Shorter Styles

Wigs are available in a wide variety of styles. Some people may choose long styles for a number of reasons, but these hair pieces are also much hotter. When you are looking for a cooler option, there are plenty of cute short styles to choose from.

Wash It Regularly

Washing hair replacement pieces on a daily basis isn’t often necessary. In fact, washing them too much can cause damage and excess wear and tear. However, during the summer months, it is better to wash your hair pieces more often to remove excess oils and sweat caused by the rising temperatures.

Avoid Direct Heat

If you are spending a lot of time outside this summer, it may be difficult to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause damage to wigs. Wearing a hat or a scarf can make a major difference in your comfort level while wearing one of these hair pieces. In addition, don’t store your hair replacement pieces where they will be exposed to excessive heat, such as near a window or in your car.

Try Stretch Cap Wigs

Traditional caps on wigs are often made from material that doesn’t breathe well. This means you could easily overheat during the hottest months of the year. For these situations, having a wig with a stretch cap that features built-in ventilation can help you feel cooler and more comfortable without giving up your favorite hair pieces.

Braid Longer Hair

Whether you only have long hair pieces or you just prefer longer hair, braiding your wig can be the ideal option for staying comfortable this summer. Ponytails don’t often work well for wigs because they can create an unnatural look. Braids look more natural, allowing you to control your longer hair and keep cool.

Try a New Color

Dark hair replacement pieces may be your typical style, but summer is a great time to try something new. Consider buying hair pieces in lighter shades to wear when the weather is hot. The lighter colors won’t absorb the heat of the sun and can create a fun new look.

Wearing a wig is a great way to change your look. However, when it comes to wigs during the summer months, they can be hot. Consider these tips to help keep you more cool and comfortable in your hair pieces.

Hair Extension Trends for 2014

Add curls with hair extensions.

Hair extensions can give you curly hair.

Are you happy with the way your natural hair looks? Lucky you! If not, you may want to make changes that will better suit your sense of style. Whether you enjoy changing your hairstyle often or you want to update your look with a new trend, hair extensions may be the answer. This year, hair replacement follows several fashion styles that will allow you to create the unique and beautiful hair you’ve always wanted.

Long Hair Extensions

Having short hair can limit how you style your hair. If you want to dress up your hair for a special occasion, longer hair may be a better option. If you don’t have the desire or time to grow your hair out, long hair pieces can be the perfect solution. These hair replacement pieces can lengthen your hair and give you more choices for up-dos and other styling methods that your shorter, natural hair won’t allow. The best part is you can return to your shorter hair quickly and easily by removing the extensions.

Curly Hair

Not everyone is blessed with naturally curly hair. Sometimes hair is so straight, even getting a perm doesn’t create the beautiful curls you are looking for. If you want to add some beautiful curls to your hairstyle, one of the easiest ways is to choose hair pieces that provide you with the look you want. Curly hair extensions come in a range of curl levels, from mildly wavy to extremely curly. The choice is yours. These hair replacement pieces come in both synthetic and natural fibers, as well as a variety of shades so you can find the one that best matches your natural hair or try a contrasting one!

A Touch of Color

Another reason individuals may choose a hair extension product over their natural hair is to add a touch of color to their hairstyle. Extensions can provide a gradated look to your hair — a growing trend on the fashion scene. If you have ever seen someone with the addition of colored or bleached tips, it is likely the result of adding hair pieces to their natural hair. While some individuals may dye their hair in that ombre effect, hair extensions allow you to add this touch of color on a temporary basis. You can choose to remove them at any time.

Thanks to the escalating hair extension trends this year, modernizing your hairstyle can be as simple as adding hair extensions to your natural hair. These temporary hair replacement pieces can provide you with an entirely new look without having to make more permanent changes to your hair. You can quickly and easily return to your original hairstyle. The use of hair pieces is no longer only for the rich and elite or those who are having serious issues with their natural hair. They are now a great option for anyone who wants a new, updated look.

Update Your Hair without Scissors

Change your hairstyle without scissors.

Hair pieces allow you to change your hair without scissors.

Are you ready for a new and exciting change from your current hairstyle? Do you know that you can update the look of your hair without the use of scissors? Most women at one time or another experience a “bad hair day” or may want a quick change from their everyday look for a special occasion. These days, there are a variety of ways to transform your appearance. If you want to reinvent your hairstyle without having to sacrifice the length of your hair with the snip of the scissors, here are some creative ideas.

Hair Extensions to Tweak Your Hairstyle

No longer do you have to cut your hair in a bob or wait for it to grow back in. If you are in a styling rut, you can tweak your hairstyle using hair extensions. It can take less than an hour to change your entire look. In order to do this, you can apply the extensions yourself, or you can go to a hairdresser who specializes in hair replacement.

Clip-On Bangs for a No-Chop Update

Having bangs can make a huge difference in your appearance. Once you commit to bangs, if you don’t like the look, it can take a long time for them to grow back. There is a solution that doesn’t involve cutting them. Clip-on bangs or hair pieces with bangs are right on trend this season. Remember, the bangs are not permanent so you can try them first to see if you like the look before you fully commit to a new style.

Lengthen to Glamorize

If your natural hair could benefit from extra volume and length, a Remy hair weave is ideal to provide glamour, allure and elegance. This will not only give your hair a full, healthy look, it will protect your natural hair from damage caused by the harmful rays of the sun, daily blow drying and styling. A hair weave is an easy solution to full, healthy-looking hair. With proper maintenance and care, a hair weave can last up to three months.

Bob Your Tresses without Trimming

The bob look is never outdated. It is one of those styles that can work for every season and any occasion. In fact, you will be able to create an entirely new look with a faux bob. Fortunately, you don’t have to cut your own hair to achieve this style. Why not create an imitation bob using a full cap weave that was already styled into a bob?

Change Your Part

Another way you can update your hairstyle is by changing the way you part your hair. If you are accustomed to wearing the part on the left side, right side or in the middle, change the location. A sophisticated side part adds asymmetry to the face and gives you an exotic and sleek appearance.

These hair enhancement strategies are only a few of the many ways to create an accentuated expression of yourself. Whatever style you choose, begin first by refreshing your natural or synthetic hair with RemySoft Pro Haircare Products, formulated safe for all human hair, wigs and extensions.
