Hello  Friends:Let  me  share with  you a few  words  of  advice.Many of  us  feel  concerned  when  we  start  wearing  our  wigs.

We may  have  never  worn one  before, or we  are  self  concious  of  what  peoples  reaction  will  be.Ill  tell  you  a  story:many  years  ago  while  in  a  line  to  purchase  some  fast  food,I  noticed  a  lady  that  had  the  prettiest  hair  I  had  ever  seen.I  couldnt  get  over  how  beautiful  her  hair  was,wondering  what  color could  it  be, who  did  her  hair? feeling  about  to  drop  from admiration  of  her  beautiful  locks.She  noticed  me and  quickly pulled  her  wig  from  the  back,and  only  then  I found  out  it  really  wasnt  her  own  hair.

That  taught  me  a  valuable  lesson: we  may  wear  a  wig  an  think  people  are  staring  at  us,  because  they  are  examining our  hair.Not  so, the  newer  wigs  are  styled  so beautiful  that  most  people  that  stare  are  just  drooling  about  how  pretty  your  hair  looks.

I started  wearing  them  after  a  teenager  screamed  an  insult making  a  joke  about  my  thinning  hair,that  until  this  incident  had  never  bothered  me.I had  not  even  considered  wearing  a  wig.

I  made  my  share  of  mistakes  and  Ill  tell  you  what  they  were  so  you  can  benefit  from  my  tribulations:

dont  buy  bulky  or  extra  curly  wigs.They  are  always  difficult  to  manage  and remember  the  look  now  is  softer  than  ever.

Dont  buy  a  wig  that  is  more  than  two  years  out  of  production: newer  wigs  have  less  amount  of  hair  and  more  attention  to  the  hairline- making  them  more  believable  than  ever.

The  wig  shoulf  fit  your  size  even  if  you  decide  to  cut  off  the  adjusting  tabs, this  will  make  sure  you  are  always  feeling comfortable  and  sure  when  you  are  wearing  them.So  if  it  feels  loose  even  with  the tabs  adjusted-go  to  the  smaller  size.

Please  never  get  near  your  oven wearing  any  king  of  synthetic  hair- it  zinches  very  quickly  and  both  for  bake  and  your  wig  will  be  warm  at  the  time  you  close  the  oven  door!

If  you  have  a  wise guy  coming  and  complimenting  your  hairdo-smile  and  take  your  compliment  graciously-they  probably  mean it/Please  dont  be  afraid  to  go  out  and  wear  your  wig-  its  only  scary  the  first  and second  times-after  a  while  youll  say_ I  sure  feel  good!

Make  sure  all  the  rows  of  hair  in  your  wig  are nice  with  no  loose  ends,loose  ends  in  the  cap may  bruise  your  scalp  and  even  blister  it  if  you  are  too  sensitive.

The  way  of  keeping  your  hairstyle  perfect  under  any  wind  is  hairspry!!!dont  be  afraid  of  it- if  you  think  your  wig  needs  volume  use  hairspray  to  stiffen  the  fibbers-not  backcombing- teasing  results  in  breakeage  and  your  wig  will  not  be  the  same  after  you  wash  it.Remember  its  easy  to  get  rid  of  hairspray  buildup  with  a  little  liquid  laundry  detergent.-yes,  synthetic  fiber  is  no  fifferent  from  your  polyester  pants!  its  just  needs  detergent  when  it  gets  soiled!

Now  get  that  new  style  and  color  that  you  like-check  my  other  wig  guide  and  enjoy  your  beautiful  new  you!!!
