Whatever the reason for you wanting or needing to wear a wig, if it’s your first time, the type of wig you choose can play a significant role in how well you adapt to becoming a wig-wearer and how comfortable you feel while wearing one.

Ultimately, the more you’re willing or able to spend, the more likely you are to get the most out of your first experience wearing a wig, and this is simply because cost usually equates to quality. A synthetic wig bought online might look great in the pictures and may come in under budget, but there can be no comparison in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and general wearability when compared to custom-made wigs.

Although they do cost more than their off-the-shelf counterparts, wigs made out of human hair and customized to fit your precise requirements will always give you an enhanced wig-wearing experience, and here are four reasons why:

1.     One size absolutely does not fit all.

You don’t need a stylist or wig expert to tell you that your head is likely a different size and shape from that of the next person, hence the very obvious reason why an off-the-shelf wig likely won’t give you the comfort and wearability of one that has been designed to fit the exact dimensions of your head.

Customized wigs enable you to choose the size and type of lace you want, the texture of the hair, the colour, and its length and density—all factors that can play a significant role in determining how well you enjoy your first wig-wearing experience.

2.    You get more control over your style.

Customized wigs give you the ultimate in wig-wearing freedom. From a wig that parts in the center, or a bob or layered cut, to soft waves and sleek bangs, you can achieve whatever style you want with a wig that has been tailored to your needs.

3.     You’ll feel more confident.

Factory-made wigs might look good in an online catalogue or even when sitting on a stand in your local wig store, but get them on your head, and it can become a whole different story.

Custom wigs are akin to a tailored suit; they’ll sit comfortably on your head, they won’t move around and need to be adjusted throughout the day, and they’ll blend perfectly with your skin. If you’re fed up with being in a constant state of anxiety over how your wig looks when you’re wearing it and wish you had a wig that you could simply put on and leave on without having to make hundreds of minor adjustments, a custom-made wig is the solution.

4.     Custom wigs last longer, protecting your investment.

Although, as discussed, human hair wigs that have been custom-made do cost more, the fact that they’re made with premium hair and custom-crafted with care means that they’ll last a lot longer than the synthetic, cheaper alternatives. Maintaining their quality, even after being washed and styled many times, custom wigs can last for much longer, protecting your investment.

The best way to get over your fear of wearing a wig, or to allay any concerns that you may have about doing so, is to invest in a custom wig made out of premium human hair. You’ll feel better in it, look better in it, and overall, feel more confident and comfortable. That’s got to be worth the investment, right?
