Kylie wig Human Hair Blend by Envy Wigs

There are a few things to think about before choosing your wig but don't worry - we will help every step of the way. The first is cap size, a well-fitting wig will feel more secure and comfortable. If you're not sure how to measure, our wig size guide will show you exactly what to do.

Next, think about the length and style that best suits your lifestyle. Longer wigs can tend to need a bit more care while shorter styles are often easier to manage day to day. Then there's colour - you might prefer to stay close to your natural shade or this could be the perfect chance to try something different.

You'll also need to choose between synthetic and human hair as each has its own benefits, along with the cap construction, which can make a real difference to how natural the parting and hairline look.

If it all feels a bit overwhelming, you're not on your own. Our team is always happy to help you find the right wig for your needs. You can give us a call on 01484 844557, or book an appointment at our Huddersfield shop to try on a range of styles in person.

A hand-tied wig is a type of wig construction where each hair strand is individually hand-knotted onto the wig cap. This method offers a highly natural appearance and greater flexibility in styling compared to machine-made wigs.

The key features of a hand-tied wig can include:

• Fully Hand-Tied Wigs: The entire cap is hand-tied, providing the most natural movement and flexibility. This allows the hair to move freely in any direction, which enhances the wig's realism.
  
• Partially Hand-Tied Wigs: Combines hand-tied sections with machine-made wefts to offer a balance of natural appearance and affordability. Common features may include a hand-tied top or crown with wefted sides and back.

The benefits include:

• Very Natural Appearance: Because the hair is hand-tied, it appears to come directly from the scalp. This makes the wig look very realistic.
  
• Comfort: The cap is usually made from a lightweight and breathable material, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. Suitable for individuals with sensitive scalps or those experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions.
  
• Versatile Styling: Allows for more versatile styling options, as the hair can be parted in any direction. You can change your hairstyle without worrying about exposing the wig cap.
  

Short wigs are popular because they're lightweight, comfortable and easy to wear every day. With less hair they tend to feel cooler than longer styles making them a great choice in warmer weather or if you naturally feel the heat.

They're also quicker to style and maintain. Shorter fibres don't rub against your shoulders and clothing as much they often stay looking fresher for longer.

If you're looking for a practical, modern style that's easy to care for, a short wig is a great option. For more tips, read our guide on how to keep your head cool when wearing a wig.

If you sweat a lot you may wish to wash your wig more frequently. Perhaps twice a week. Excess oils and sweating may irritate your scalp if you are wearing a wig. Consider wearing a wig cap to create a barrier between your sweat and the wig.

To minimize the risk of damage from sweating, consider the following tips:

• Wear a wig cap underneath your wig to help absorb sweat and protect the wig cap.
  
• Cleanse and condition your wig regularly to remove sweat, oils, and buildup.
  
• Rotate between multiple wigs to give each one time to air out and dry completely between wearings.
  

If you're looking for the most natural look and feel, a human hair wig is hard to beat. Whether it's the right choice for you depends on your lifestyle, budget and how much time you'd like to spend on styling and maintenance.

Human hair wigs offer incredibly natural movement and can be styled just like your own hair. You can curl, straighten, cut and even colour them, giving you complete flexibility to create the look you want. With the right care, they can also last between one and three years making them a long-term investment.

Synthetic wigs, however, have their own advantages. They're easy to care for, hold their style after washing and are ready to wear with very little effort. They're also generally more affordable, making them a fantastic option for everyday wear or for anyone who prefers a low-maintenance routine.

Many people enjoy having both. A human hair wig offers styling versatility for special occasions or everyday confidence, while a synthetic wig is perfect when you need something quick, convenient and ready to wear whatever the weather.

If you're weighing up the pros and cons, our guide to human hair vs synthetic wigs compares both options in more detail, helping you decide which is the best fit for you.
