Common Mistakes in Buying Wig

The first step in using a wig is purchasing one! Wig shops stock man different colors, types and styles so you may find yourself confused the first few times you visit, It helps a lot to familiarize yourself with wig types, designs, part styles, and materials before you even set foot in the store. Think before you buy and be careful to avoid some of the common pitfalls.


Almost all of us end up having at least one of these harrowing experiences in our cosplay careers, so do your best to learn from the mistakes of others. In order to avoid mistakes, it is best to decide on your wig style, material, length and cut beforehand.


Here are some common mistakes in buying wig:
 
1. The wig is too short
~> Be sure to check the length of all parts of the wig you intend to buy. Be sure to purchase a wig long enough to use for the longest-part of the style you want to achieve.


2. The real color is different than the picture
~> People often make this mistake when buying online. Color examples and photos aren't always the best indicator of a wig's actual look but most shops sell sample swatches or have real stores where you can see the colors in person.


3. I thought I'd dye it but.... it won't dye
~> Quite a few low-end synthetic wigs can't be dyed with traditional hot-water dying methods. If you want to dye a wig, you ought to buy a heat-resistant wig.


4. When i used a dryer, the hair melts!
~> This sad story is all too common when people fail to check the material of their wigs. Regular synthetic wigs melt under high temperatures. Please handle them with care and only apply low heat.
