Saleema 3/4 wig Kim Kimble

Ultimately, the decision between a hair enhancer and a wig depends on your individual needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences. It is dependent upon how severe your hair loss is. 

If it is partial hair loss then an enhancer will be suitable. If your hair loss is advanced and an enhancer will not provide enough coverage, then a wig will be a more appropriate solution.

Achieving a natural colour and seamless look with a hair enhancer involves more than just proper attachment; it also entails careful other considerations.

For the enhancer to look natural we recommend that you try to match it to the colour of your biological hair. We suggest that you try to match it to the colour of your own bio hair which frames your face. Styling and blending the enhancer will ensure that you have a natural and seamless look.

Once the hair enhancer is securely attached, styling plays a crucial role in enhancing its natural appearance. Use styling tools such as straighteners, or brushes to create a seamless integration between the enhancer and your natural hair. By styling both your natural hair and the enhancer together, you can achieve a cohesive and polished look.

Blending the hair enhancer with your natural hair is essential for a flawless finish. Use your fingers or a comb to gently blend the edges of the enhancer with your own hair, ensuring that it blends well. You can also use hair styling products such as sprays, gels or waxes to help blend the textures and create a seamless transition.

Let's break down the steps for applying a hair enhancer or hairpiece while being gentle and ensuring optimal coverage and security:

1. Be Gentle with Your Hair: Before applying the hair enhancer, ensure that your natural hair is neatly combed down. It's essential to be gentle to avoid pulling or damaging your own hair. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle any knots or tangles.
   
2. Positioning the Enhancer: Determine the ideal placement of the hair enhancer to achieve the desired coverage. Whether you're looking to add volume, or length, or fill in sparse areas, positioning is crucial for a natural look. Use a mirror to help you visualize and adjust as needed.
   
3. Open the Pressure Snap Clips: Most hair enhancers come with pressure snap clips for easy attachment. Open the clips gently by pressing the sides to release them.
   
4. Lightly Attach the Clips: Once the clips are open, lightly attach them to your own hair. Start with the front snap clip and gently secure it in place, making sure it's positioned correctly. Avoid pulling or tugging on your hair as you attach the clips. If necessary, use a mirror to ensure accuracy.
   
5. Secure the Remaining Clips: Work your way around the hair enhancer, securing each clip lightly to your own hair. Take your time to ensure that the hairpiece feels secure but not overly tight.
   
6. Final Adjustments: Once all the clips are attached, take a moment to assess the placement and overall look. Use your fingers to gently adjust any areas that may need refinement. Ensure that the hair enhancer blends seamlessly with your natural hair for a flawless finish.
   
7. Style as Desired: With the hair enhancer securely in place, you can style your hair as usual. Whether you prefer to curl, straighten, or add accessories, the enhancer should provide added versatility to your hairstyle.
   

Buying a wig for the first time can be an exciting experience, but it's important to consider a few key factors to ensure you make the right choice.

1. Determine Your Needs Style:

Think about the style you want (e.g., bob, long, curly) and consider whether it's for daily wear, special occasions, or to manage hair loss.

2. Choose the Type of Wig

Human Hair, Synthetic or a blend. Human hair wigs look natural and can be styled like your own hair, but they're usually more expensive. Synthetic wigs are more affordable and come pre-styled but may not last as long. Consider cap construction and look for options like lace front, full lace, or monofilament for a more realistic look and comfortable fit.

3. Find Your Size

Measure Your Head: Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around your head, from the front hairline, over the ears, and around the nape of your neck. Most wigs come in standard sizes (small, medium, large). Adjustable Straps: Many wigs have adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit.

4. Consider the Cost

Wigs can vary significantly in price. Determine how much you're willing to spend and explore options within that range and keep an eye out for discounts or promotions!
