Benefits of Wearing Wigs

1. Experiment with endless styles

The first and most loved benefit of wearing a wig is the endless variety of styles available for you to choose from. From platinum pixie cuts to brunette bobs, you can choose a wig that enhances your natural hair or go bold with a new look.

The beauty of it all is that it’s temporary; there are no permanent commitments, and your wig collection can grow and change as your sense of identity and style changes. Wigs offer you the variety that human hair simply cannot – with so many styles to choose from, why not book in for a wig styling consultation?

2. Take advantage of convenience

If we were to add up all of the minutes spent blow-drying, straightening or curling our hair, we’re sure it wouldn’t be a pretty figure. Time spent styling your hair can add up to more than you probably realise. A fantastic wig benefit is the luxury of additional time.

A benefit of our lace front wigs in particular is that they are an excellent time-saving option as they are pre-cut, saving you time on styling so you can enjoy your leisurely breakfast or extra time in bed in peace, knowing that your hairstyle took less than five minutes to achieve!

3. Elevate thinning hair

Hair thinning is a very common issue for both men and women, and it may be caused by a multitude of reasons, including medication, illness, hormone changes or others. Those experiencing thinning hair may want a wig to help your hair feel fuller and more luscious again. A great wig benefit is that wearing a wig instantly gives you a full head of hair that you can style and shape according to your liking.

In addition, a wig helps to give great coverage so you can feel secure and confident in knowing that your hair is as full as can be. Our blog on the best wigs for thinning hair will guide your search for your perfect wig in the right direction.

4. Offer your natural hair protection

If you want to take better care of your natural hair, wearing a wig is an excellent way to protect your natural hair from daily damage such as heat or products with harsh chemicals. When wearing a wig, your hair is kept in a protective hairstyle, meaning that you may find when your hair grows healthier and fuller as a consequence.  Give your hair a chance to recover, get some TLC, and improve in quality!

5. Have some fun!

Wigs aren’t just for everyday wear – a benefit of wearing wigs is that you can have a little bit of fun with them! Aside from endless styling options and the ability to change up your look, wigs are excellent for a temporary identity change, perhaps for a party or an event.

Did you know that lots of musicians and artists wear wigs when playing a role? When going to a black-tie event, you could opt for an elegant long hairstyle such as the Blake Petite Human Hair Wig that accentuates your collarbones. For a job interview, you could play around with wearing a fringe, such as the Page Long wig, to hide your nerves! The opportunities for character development are limitless, so play around!

6. Flaunt realistic-looking styles

Gone are the days of unrealistic looking, shiny wigs that make your head itch. A common misconception of wigs is that they look fake. Wig technology has improved and evolved astronomically over the years, so you can be sure now that your high-quality wig looks, feels and behaves just like natural hair. Many people you pass on the street may be wearing a wig, and you wouldn’t even know it. Wigs can be extremely undetectable, so there is no fear that you will be caught exposed.

To make your wig look natural, it must fit properly and suit your face shape. Refer to our wig size guide for fitting advice, and if you need extensive help with choosing the perfect wig for your face shape and preferences, our ultimate buyer’s guide will answer your questions.

7. Save money on maintenance

You may not think of a benefit of wearing wigs being that they can help you save money; however, wearing a wig works out almost always more economical than maintaining real hair in the long run. Salon visits, shampoo and conditioners, electrical appliances and styling tools all add up! If you look after your wig properly and take great care of it, it can last for years.
