The Guide to Wig Accessories

If you`re new to wigs and wig accessories, then you may feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to all of your options. Don`t worry. We know our wigs, and we`re ready to help. That`s why we`ve put together this beginner`s guide of wig accessory knowledge. Here`s what you need to know.

Wig Accessories Start with Wig Grips or Caps

First, you`ll need accessories to help your wig stay in place as you wear it. That`s where Wig Caps and wig grips come in. These accessories help your wig stay in place so that you can wear your wig with confidence all day long.

Wig caps provide complete scalp coverage. They make a good choice for people with total hair loss. The barrier can provide comfort as well as protection, and you won`t have to feel the wig itself against your scalp.

Wig grips provide varying levels of coverage. Many wig grips work best for lace fronts or partial wigs, though some can be worn for full coverage wigs, too.

Think about Wig Storage

Many wig accessories aren`t worn on the head at all. These particular accessories give you a place to store your wig while you`re not wearing it. Wig storage matters because you`ll want to keep your wig in its best shape for as long as possible. With the right storage, you can keep your wig from going flat or getting tangled. You have lots of options for wig storage. The decision ultimately boils down to personal preference.

Mannequin Heads

Mannequin heads are shaped to look like a human head. Some have faces, while others are just a single color. Either way, they can give you some idea of how your wig and its style will look when it frames your own face. Plus, they give you a nice way to display your wigs if you like to show them off at home. Most importantly, they help your wigs keep their shape while you`re not wearing them.

Wig Stands

Your next option for storage wig accessories is to look into wig stands. Unlike mannequin heads, wig stands don`t look like human heads. Instead, these are made out of durable plastic, and they are rounded at the top so that your wig can keep its shape. Many of these wig stands are collapsible, so you can travel with them more easily than you might with a traditional Mannequin Head.

Mannequin Stands

Mannequin stands combine the minimalist style of wig stands with the full, rounded shape of a mannequin head. Mannequin stands make great wig accessories if you plan to style your wig often. For one thing, they`re very sturdy and stay in one place. Some come with a suction cup at the bottom to adhere to flat surfaces. Others have a clamp to latch on to a table. For another thing, the top part of many mannequin stands can be moved into different positions. As a result, you can style your wig from multiple angles with just the turn of a handle.

Wig Travel Storage

Next, don`t forget about wig storage when you travel. You can`t just toss your wig into your suitcase if you want it to keep its shape. A durable wig case can protect your wig while you travel from place to place.

T Pins
T pins make great wig accessories for people who want to style their wigs without worrying about their wigs slipping off of the mannequin. T pins hold wigs firmly in place so that you can brush, curl, and style your wig as you want.
