Introduction to Wigs
Wigs come in all shapes and sizes, and can be styled in many different ways. They are often used to cover up baldness or thinning hair, or to create a new look. There are many different types of wigs available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Styling Human Hair Wigs
To style your braided wig, start by smoothing any flyaways with oil or serum. You can also define the edges of your braids with gel or edge control. If you want to add flair, accessorize your braids with beads, clips or scarves. Human hair wigs can be styled with heat tools, but use a heat protectant spray and do not exceed 350°F.

Wig Styling Tips
Most heat-resistant wigs describe how much heat they can handle before melting. Stay at least 15° below this, and use high heat only briefly. The fibers keep their shape easily, so do not leave wigs in heat for long. I recommend testing a small section first – some "heat-resistant" wigs cannot handle more than a hairdryer.
Today’s wigs come in varieties of styles, lengths, colors and textures. There is a wig for every preference. Get ready as I share five wigs for five events. I like switching up my hair color, but sometimes I cannot dye it when an event comes up. But I still want to look good.

While wigs provide versatility in altering looks, premium human hair wigs enable the most options. Their longevity offsets a higher initial cost when properly maintained.
