Those looking for a helping hand to make their full wig look even more natural should read our top tips below…
One of the very first rules to embracing a natural wig look is to choose the right wig type. A full wig is often the best choice for a natural, realistic appearance. It offers complete coverage, allowing you to conceal all of your natural hair and scalp as well as prevent the mismatched textures and thinning edges that could give your wig away.
Team this with the fact that most full wigs are designed with realistic features like lace fronts, monofilament tops and baby hairs, and you have yourself a look that closely mimics natural hair growth and movement.
Full wigs come in a huge range of styles, lengths and textures, which means you’re certain to find the right wig to complement you in the most natural way possible. With greater variety comes the chance to choose a texture that’s close to that of your natural hair. While you might not find an exact match, the array of options will make finding a wig that works simpler and more satisfying.
For extra realism, don’t go too light, dark or bold at first. Start with a realistic, believable shade that suits your complexion. Fancy something different but not sure which wig colour works for your skin tone? Read this advice from The Right Hairstyles for inspiration:
“The general rule of thumb is that cool skin undertones look most flattering with cool hair color, while warm skin undertones look best with warm hair color. This way, matching hair color to your skin tone accentuates your complexion and brings out your features. However, sometimes picking an opposite tone can make a striking contrast. Say, a very light, cool freckly skin looks fantastic with warm copper hair shade.”
Preparing your natural hair and scalp matters, especially when it comes to that final wig look. Braid, wrap or flatten your hair under a wig cap to create a smooth, flat foundation. A cap will help to keep your wig secure and minimise bulk. Preparing your scalp can also improve the overall aesthetic and comfort of your wig.
If your full wig sports a rather uniform, dense hairline, you may want to consider plucking it slightly for a realistic finish. Don’t go overboard, gently pluck just a few hairs to create a more realistic hairline.
Be sure to wash and detangle your wig before marking the hairline and parting, and sectioning the hair in preparation for plucking. Some wig wearers create baby hairs to enhance that natural vibe further. Once plucked and secured with adjustable straps, clips or adhesive, you can then use concealer or powder to blend the hairline of your wig and skin to perfection.
From customising the parting and taming unnatural sheen to adding waves and curls, styling your full wig well will finish your natural look with a flourish. Style your wig in ways you’d wear your real hair for the best results, and don’t forget to follow the care instructions to keep your full wig in tip top condition.
