"Winter Wig Wellness" - Ensure your perucas stay fabulous during the colder months with these essential care tips:
Hydration is Key:
Just as our skin tends to get dry in winter, perucas can also lose moisture. We encourage you to invest in a good peruca conditioner and emphasize the importance of keeping your perucas hydrated to prevent frizz and maintain a healthy shine.
Static Solutions:
Winter brings static, and wigs are no exception. We recommend using an anti-static spray or a small amount of hairspray on a brush to gently smooth down any static-induced flyaways. This helps keep the peruca looking sleek and polished.
Hat Hair Hacks:
With winter comes the inevitable hat hair. We highly advise to combat flattened wig styles caused by hats. Using a volumizing spray or gently teasing the peruca at the roots to revive its shape after hat removal.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures:
Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can affect wig fibers. Exposing your perucas to direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, as well as extreme cold. This helps maintain the integrity of the peruca.
Gentle Detangling:
Cold weather can lead to knots and tangles. We recommend a wide-tooth comb or a specialized wig brush to gently detangle the peruca. Start from the tips and work your way up to prevent unnecessary stress on the wig fibers.
Storage Solutions:
We encourage proper storage when the peruca is not in use. Using a wig stand or mannequin to help maintain the peruca's shape. Additionally, we advise against storing your perucas in overly dry or humid conditions.

1. Choosing the wrong size: Wigs come in different sizes, so it's important to measure your head properly and choose the right size. Wearing a wig that's too small or too big can be uncomfortable and make it look unnatural.
2. Improper placement: It's important to place the wig correctly on your head to make it look natural. Make sure that the front of the wig is aligned with your natural hairline, and adjust the back and sides to fit snugly against your head.
3. Choosing the wrong style: When choosing a wig, it's important to consider your face shape and personal style. Not all styles will look good on everyone, so take the time to try on different styles and find one that flatters your features.
4. Neglecting wig care: Like natural hair, wigs require maintenance to stay in good condition. Neglecting to wash and condition your wig regularly can lead to tangling, matting, and a dull appearance.
5. Not considering the material: Wigs can be made from different materials, including synthetic and human hair. Synthetic wigs are generally less expensive but may not look as natural as human hair wigs. Human hair wigs require more maintenance but can be styled and treated like natural hair. Consider the material carefully when choosing a wig.
If you require further assistance on your journey of wearing wigs, which can be incredibly beautiful if done correctly, please do not hesitate to email us. We also highly recommend checking out our styling master class, which can be a valuable resource for you. It's important to remember that half the work is a quality wig and the other half is in the maintenance and how you wear it.
A-line Bob Wig: Our A-line Bob wig features a shorter length in the back and longer length towards the front, creating an A-shape that elongates the face and balances out the fullness around the cheeks.

]]>Â
Consider your skin tone:
As with any beauty product, it's important to consider your skin tone when selecting a wig color. If you have a cool skin tone (with pink or blue undertones), opt for wig colors that are also cool, such as platinum blond, ash brown, or jet black. If you have a warm skin tone (with yellow or gold undertones), go for warm wig colors like golden blond, copper red, or caramel brown
Â
Think about your natural hair color:
If you're looking for a wig to cover up some grays or to add some highlights, choose a color that is similar to your natural hair color. This will make it easier to blend the wig with your own hair and create a more natural look.
Â
Experiment with bold colors:
If you're feeling daring and want to try something new, go for a bold wig color like bright red, electric blue, or neon green. Just keep in mind that these colors may be more difficult to match with your everyday wardrobe, so you may need to plan your outfits accordingly.
Â
Test out the color:
If you're unsure about a particular wig color, try on a wig cap in that shade to see how it looks against your skin tone. You can also ask a friend or hairstylist for their opinion on the color.
Â
Choose a reputable brand:
When it comes to wigs, you generally get what you pay for. Invest in a high-quality wig from a reputable brand to ensure that the color is vibrant and long-lasting. And what other brand than the Virgin Hair Fantasy? Check out our stunning and beautiful perucas, glueless and ready to wear.

With these tips in mind, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect wig color for your style and skin tone. Happy shopping!
]]>But one of the major concerns with wigs is the delicate lace that can easily puncture with the comb inside the hair. I would say 75% of holes that end up on your lace is caused by how you scrunch it or squeeze it together when washing. I have been guilty of doing this many times. I was putting holes in my unit and I didn’t even know where it was coming from until one day I took a look at the combs and was positioning to the lace and it was the exact spot. Which is why it's important to know how to properly wash your wig to keep it looking fresh and beautiful.
When washing your wig, it's important to start by focusing on the lace part. This is the most delicate part of the wig and it requires special attention. Using a wig-specific cleanser, gently clean the lace part. This type of product is specifically formulated to be gentle on wigs, and it will help to remove dirt and buildup without causing damage. Be sure to hold the part where the comb is located, as this will help to protect the delicate lace and avoid punching holes in it. This method is also applied when rinsing.
After you have washed your wig with a cleanser, it's time to condition it. Conditioning your wig is just as important as conditioning your natural hair, as it will help to keep the fibers soft and smooth. Use a wig-specific conditioner and gently massage it through the hair, leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing it out thoroughly.
Once you've washed and conditioned your wig, gently squeeze out any excess water and then place the wig on a position that will maintain its shape and let it dry. Avoid using heat to dry your wig, instead, let it air dry naturally. Once your wig is dry, you can brush it again to restore its style and shape.
For more tips on how to care for your wig, be sure to watch our videos on Instagram on how to wash your peruca properly and taking care of it after washing:

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CnhcCO5Bz6_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your wig stays in great condition and continues to look great for a long time. Remember to handle your wig with care and to wash it regularly to keep it looking its best. Always use wig-specific products, be gentle when washing and handling your wig, and pay special attention to the lace part. This will help to prolong its lifespan and avoid puncturing the lace with the comb.
]]>The short answer is yes, you can wear a wig (peruca) without a cap. However, there are a few things to consider before deciding whether or not to go cap-free with your wig.
One of the main reasons to wear a wig cap is to keep your natural hair in place and prevent it from showing underneath the wig. If you have short hair or hair that is easy to smooth down and cover, you may be able to get away with wearing a wig without a cap. However, if you have long, thick, or curly hair, it may be more difficult to completely hide it under a wig. In this case, a wig cap can help to create a smooth and seamless base for the wig to sit on.
Another reason to wear a wig cap is to protect your natural hair from the heat and styling products that you might use on your wig. Wig caps can act as a barrier between your hair and these potentially damaging elements. If you decide to go without a wig cap, be sure to use heat protectant and other protective products on your hair to minimize the risk of damage.
Finally, wig caps can help to keep your wig in place and prevent it from slipping or shifting throughout the day. If you have a particularly slippery or shiny scalp, you may find that your wig stays put better with a cap.
In conclusion, you can wear a wig (peruca) without a cap, but there are a few factors to consider before making this decision. If you have short, smooth hair and are careful with heat and styling products, you may be able to go cap-free. However, if you have long or thick hair, or want an extra layer of protection for your natural hair, a wig cap can be a helpful accessory.
]]>Â
Choose a wig that matches your natural hair color as closely as possible
This will help the wig (peruca) blend in with your natural hair and look more realistic.
Â
Style the wig to match your natural hair texture
If you have curly hair, choose a wig with curls that match the size and shape of your natural curls. If you have straight hair, choose a wig with straight hair that matches the thickness and density of your natural hair.
Â
Trim the wig to match the length of your natural hair
This will help the wig look more cohesive with your natural hair and eliminate any noticeable difference in length.
Â
Use a wig cap to help the wig stay in place and reduce the visibility of any wig clips or combs
Wig caps also help to create a seamless transition between the wig and your natural hair.
Â
Invest in online wig styling courses
If you don't do anything else please do this. Learn the basics. Here is a link to our online course.
Â
Use a wig brush or comb to gently style the wig and blend it with your natural hair
This will help to create a more natural look and hide any noticeable lines or seams where the wig meets your natural hair.
Â
Use a wig stand or head form to store your wig when you're not wearing it
This will help the wig keep its shape and prevent it from getting tangled or damaged.

MEDITATION The first thing is daily meditation. At first, I was very skeptical about meditation because I didn’t understand it. But the more I read different self-improvement books, it continues to be the one thing that gets mentioned. So I decided to give it a try. It’s still fairly new to me so I'm speaking from a beginners perspective. I can tell you some of the benefits for me. I started with a guided meditation through a meditation app called Buddhify and in that app you get to choose and set the tone for what type of meditation you want. What I love about it is there's 5 minutes, there's 10 minutes, there's 15 minutes so you could start where you feel like starting. I would say one of the main benefits for me is it allows me to stay calm and reflect, which is very necessary in this busy world that we’re living in and it literally brings me so much peace when I am able to calm down I am much more organized and my creative juices start flowing. The second benefit to me would be peace of mind, During and after meditation I feel internal peace. Peace of mind is everything! The third benefit for me will be happiness happiness before I do it happiness while I’m doing it and happiness after I meditate. I have to warn you, if you're new to meditation, the first few times you may not notice anything but don’t give up, keep trying.
Â
GRATITUDE LIST Another practice that I would like to share with you that has changed my life this year and added so much value to my life is a gratitude list. A gratitude list is just you writing a few things that you’re grateful for every morning. So right after I meditate or sometimes before I meditate, I write down my gratitude list, which usually starts with the fact that I’m alive, something so simple makes such a huge difference. For those of you who already do this, you already know the benefits. If you don’t, I urge you to start. Start a daily routine of a gratitude list. It doesn't have to be long, just 5 things that you’re grateful for everyday as you start your day. I hope this helps someone. I just wanted to share because these two practices that I have added to my life this year have been really beneficial to my happiness, joy, creativity, and overall mental health. Thank you so much!
]]>Are all wigs expensive? No, not all wigs are expensive, they range in price so you can get the wig that meets your needs in your budget. Wigs can range from $200 to $3,000 to even more. However, you just need to do your research and find the ones that meet your needs and your budget. A good quality wig doesn't have to cost a whole lot.
Will people notice you wearing a wig? Not when your wig is chosen correctly! When you get a wig that looks natural, in the right size for you, and with the right lace color, you will look amazing and natural. Just make sure when you are shopping that the wigmaker is aware of your needed lace color because the lace color and sizing are key! Once you’ve purchased your wig and you’re ready to wear it, watch several tutorials or have a friend who’s worn one before teaching you! With these precautions taken, no one will notice that you’re wearing a wig.
The third myth is the fact that wigs are itchy and uncomfortable when in reality, wigs are quite comfortable to wear. Our owner has been wearing wigs for over 12 years, and she knows her stuff! The materials used to make wigs are breathable materials and they have adjustable straps that make it really easy to adjust, and your wig and keep it snug on your head so you don't have to worry. So, it can be super comfortable and easy to wear!
The fourth myth is that wigs are hot and sweaty. Again, no. Wigs are made with very cool and stretchy materials to keep you from getting hot. The only wig that could maybe make you sweat will be a wig that's made on a spandex dome cap. And that is just one style of wig. There are about five or six constructions of wigs. So you can use the one that works for you. I would say go with the breathable fabric, and you’ll be all set! To do this, when you're purchasing a wig, just ask the wigmaker what fabric is used, and you can choose if you want breathable fabric.Â
Some people that live in colder regions prefer the spandex dome cap because it actually keeps their heads warm. But if you're in a hotter region, you can then ask for the fabric that's breathable, which a lot of wigmakers offer all types of cap constructions.Â
The fifth and final myth is that wigs don't look real. They absolutely do look real. You just need to choose a natural-looking wig, and make sure the sizing lace is perfect for you. When people see our Virgin Hair Fantasy wigs, people are stunned to see us take our wigs off every single time. We do this to illustrate how natural the wigs look! We've done wigs for television shows, commercials, and everyday people. They're all able to show up looking as natural as possible.
Hopefully, this answered a few of your questions or addressed some concerns you may have had. If you’d like more proof that you can see, go to thevirginheadfantasy.com website. We have videos of us taking off the wig, so you can see the before and after. Just make sure you do your research and carefully select a wigmaker and wig that suits your needs.Â
The truth is, this wig-wearing life is so amazing. It just offers you so many options. You can be confident, change out your look, and truly express yourself more than ever before. This can help with your mental health as well as confidence. In today’s online world, we have to show up in front of people all the time. Feeling and looking confident, as well as beautiful, is worth so much!Â
]]>The first thing you need to do is buy a comfortable wig carrier or bag that won't damage your wig's hair. A good option would be a wig box that can be found on Amazon. They come in different sizes, so you must measure your wig to know which one will work best for you. Place your wig inside the carrier and zip it up so that it's secure and there's no chance of it coming out while being handled by airport staff or even while in transit. If you want, you can also use a hairnet over the top of the case for an extra layer of protection, but this isn't necessary as long as you have the zipper closed securely around the edges of the case.
When packing your wigs for travel, it is important to remember that you will not be able to pack them as tightly as clothing. In order to avoid tangles, lay the wig on a hanger bag, make sure it's zipped up, and then place it in your bag. Make sure you keep the wig cap with the wig and pack it on top of the wig. It would help if you also considered using a garment bag instead of a suitcase for added protection. Try to place your wigs on top so that it doesn't have all the weight of clothes and shoes that will make them flatter than they should be. Use plenty of room in your luggage, so they have room to breathe.
Chances are that your wig will be flat if placed in a suitcase, so if you have room in your luggage, don't be afraid to pack a styrofoam head. Once you reach your hotel room, you can take the wig out and place it on the styrofoam to help "fluff" out. If there is no styrofoam head, using an old towel or t-shirt will do the trick! If this sounds like too much work, there are some websites where you can purchase disposable wig heads for traveling.Â
Silk bags are a great way to pack your wigs when traveling. They're not only stylish but also provide a safe and protective home for your wig. Silk bags are available in many colors and styles, so you're sure to find one that fits your sense of style. Silk is the best way to keep your wig from getting tangled and frayed. With a silk bag, you can fold it into smaller sections or roll it up to take up less space in your suitcase or backpack. Use a hair net to keep it neat before placing it in the bag.
Don't forget to bring items to wear your wigs, such as your wig makeup and other things to style it. A curling iron if you're used to styling it in loose curls or waves, a straightening iron if wearing it strait, and edge cream to lay down baby hairs and flyaways. A wide-tooth comb or detangler comb is also helpful for working out knots.
If your wig is chemically treated, be sure to pack shampoo and conditioner for touchups when needed. If you need hair care products that are not readily available at the destination (such as curly hair shampoos), consider packing them from home rather than purchasing them at the destination because they may not be familiar to your particular needs.
We hope these five tips will help you know how to pack your wigs properly. Remember, if you are traveling internationally, check with your airline and destination country for regulations on bringing wigs in your carry-on luggage.Â
]]>Did you know that over 40% of insurance companies pay for a cranial prosthesis? Cranial prosthesis is another word for a wig. For some people getting a wig is a medical necessity, and if you fall into this category it’s important to see if your insurance will pay for it in full or partially. Not sure where to start? Here are a few things to consider.
This really depends on your insurance and plan, but generally, the following conditions are covered when it comes to getting a free or partially covered wig.
Â
There are a few things you’ll need to do to find out if your insurance will cover your wig or not.Â
To know for sure if you’re covered, you’ll need to call your insurance company and talk with them about it. Keep in mind that just because it’s not listed on your policy doesn’t mean you’re not covered! So, be sure to call either way.
Now that you’ve talked to the insurance company, you might be wondering, now what? Well, there are a few steps you need to take in order to get the process moving.
As far as the cost of wigs, you get what you pay for. Cheaper wigs may not last as long or come in a style or color you like. Here are a few other factors to consider when choosing your wig and understanding the costs.
Â
Please be aware of the terms used, a lot of insurance companies will not approve a claim that has a wig on it because they view it as cosmetic. You want to use medical terms like cranial prosthesis, hair prosthesis, cranial hair prosthesis, or extracranial prosthesis. Again, make sure you contact your medical insurance to ask them if they cover cranial prosthesis or medical necessary wigs and find out what the percentage they cover and what else you need to show them to get the process going. Find out your out-of-pocket limit deductible requirements E.T.C. before moving forward.
If they still won’t cover the cost of your wig, you can always ask about tax deductions based on the cost of your wig. You can also reach out to local chapters of groups like the American Cancer Society. They can sometimes help with the cost of wigs, as well!
You want to make sure that you are purchasing your wig from a company that has a Taxpayer Identification Number. You also want to make sure the company or person you’re getting it from is a reputable professional and reliable. The last thing you want to deal with is a company that will give you the runaround, please check out The Virgin Hair Fantasy. We are experienced in taking care of clients with all types of hair concerns.Â
We have been supplying great quality service and products as a company for over 10 years and we cannot wait to assist you. Please click on these links to check out our Instagram page and YouTube channel to see our work.Â
This can be a very tough time in your life. Telling who you want about your diagnosis when you are ready is an important part of your journey. A wig can help you keep things a bit more private. People are a lot less likely to ask questions or wonder what’s happening in your life if you look the same as you did before you experienced hair loss.Â
It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t be ashamed of your hair loss at all, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to tell people your news on your terms. Having a wig or two can really help with this as you process your emotions and figure out how to tell others, if you want to at all.
When someone experiences hair loss or they decide to shave off their hair, they might want to cover their heads. Hats and scarves can be great ideas. However, a beautiful wig can be styled in so many different ways. A hat or scarf really only has one or two looks. Wigs can be curled, straightened, and put into updos. So, you’ll have more variety and options.
Â
Feeling normal when things seem a bit out of your hands can be incredibly helpful in times like these. Having a wig to wear can help you create consistency in your routine and help you feel more in control. You can style it anyway you wish and wear it as often as you’d like. You can keep your regular morning routine by styling and putting on your wig just like you’d do your hair.
The most important benefit of getting a wig is that you can continue to look and feel like yourself. This can be very comforting in times of uncertainty and can give you the time you need to process everything at your own pace. Plus, feeling good about yourself is an important part of being strong. If you need your hair to do this, a wig can be a wonderful option.Â
If you’ve decided on a wig, or you are highly considering one, there are a few things you need to know. Not all wigs are the same. For starters, there are several different ways to put on and wear wigs.Â
If you’d like to read more about the differences as well as pros and cons to glued and glueless wigs, listen to our podcast here, or read our blog about the differences.
There are also different material types that are used. Some wigs use real human hair, others use synthetic materials, and others are virgin hair. If you don’t know what virgin hair is, it’s hair that has never been color treated.Â
Â
Let’s face it, wigs can be a bit pricey, but they are worth every penny. You for sure get what you pay for, though!Â
Wigs can be purchased in a few different ways. You can go to a wig store, go through a charity, or buy a wig online. All are good options. You’ll be able to try wigs on in a store, but you’ll find a much wider variety of wigs online. If you go through an organization or charity, the wig cost might be covered, but you probably won’t get the selection you might get in a shop or online.Â
Since wearing a wig will be a whole new experience for you, there are a few things you can do to prepare and to make the transition more seamless:
We understand what a trying time you’re going through right now. The feelings of uncertainty, confusion, and what to do next are so difficult. Here at the Virgin Hair Fantasy, we want to help you take some of the guesswork out of buying a wig. We have great quality wigs in a variety of styles, and we’re here to help answer any wig questions you might have.
]]>When people start losing their hair, they use many different methods to help themselves feel more normal. Scarves can be a great option because you can cover your head to whatever extent you’re comfortable. If you want to leave some of your hair poking out, you can do that. You can also tie scarves to cover your whole head if you’d like. There are also some really fun ways to tie scarves in a variety of ways.
Some people prefer to wear extensions. They feel like it’s a more socially acceptable way to hide thinning and bald spots. This will require you to see a hairdresser as it isn’t something one can do without training. Plus, they need to order the extensions.Â
One of the easiest low-effort options is to just wear hats. Hats come in so many different styles and materials that there is something for everyone. Hats are also great because they can minimize sun exposure and keep your head warm too!
While all of the above options can be great, we believe that a wig is the best option. Wigs can help you feel confident, give you a little more privacy as you assess your diagnosis (you’ll probably want to feel ready to talk about it before people ask), and they can help you feel more like yourself. You can also have so much fun with wigs. You can style them in different ways, try out colors you’ve never tried before, and if you don’t like something, you can always switch it out to match your mood or style for the day!Â
No matter what option you choose, feeling like your best self is the most important thing. Here at the Virgin Hair Fantasy, we want to help you feel your best, and we want to help lay out all of the options and information when it comes to wigs. So, you’ll know exactly how to get one, how to prepare, and how to feel comfortable with the process.
You’ll want to consider a few things as you select your wig.
Good quality wigs can be on the expensive side, but they are worth every penny. After all, you want something you’ll be wearing all the time to be comfortable and have the look you like. Here are a few ways you can purchase a wig.
In case you didn’t know, some insurance plans will cover part or the entire cost of a wig if you have medical hair loss. So, this can be for Alopecia, hair loss due to cancer, hair loss because of chemo, hair loss due to stress, and for a few other reasons. You’ll need to take a few steps to get the wig paid for, however.
You might want a wig that isn’t covered by your insurance company, maybe your insurance doesn’t cover it, or you simply don’t want to go through the hassle of dealing with them. You can always pay for your wig out of pocket, and get exactly what you want.
There are charitable organizations out there that sometimes will help with the cost of a wig. You’ll have to find a local chapter and give them a call to see what they can do to help. This varies greatly by region and the organization.Â
You might have a few questions about wig care and quality since you want to make sure it fits with your lifestyle and budget. Here are a few details to keep in mind.
Wigs only last for a semi-limited amount of time. So, it really depends on the wig you purchase. The better the quality of the wig as well as how well you take care of it will influence the longevity of your wig. Also, if you use multiple wigs, it’ll prolong the life of them since they all aren’t getting used all day every day.
If your wig is made from human hair, you’ll need to gently wash and dry the wig. You also might want to add a natural oil to keep it moist. When drying or styling your wig, you’ll want to use low heat. Synthetic wigs also require washing with special shampoo, and you’ll need to ask your wig provider how best to style them without damaging them.
No matter what material your wigs are made from, make sure you have a good storage spot for them so they are never left just lying around. You don’t want them to get stepped on, pulled apart, or have a pet mess them up.

]]>Put simply, a full lace wig is a wig that has a lace base. So, you have individual hair in knots pulling through a net fabric or lace fabric, which is put together as a net to create a cap. It’s typically lighter to wear than other wigs.
A lace front is a wig where the lace is just in the front part of the base. They're usually 13 inches wide across the face and six inches deep. But the six inches is usually within a four-by-four measurement in the middle of the lace front. It’s right in the middle of your head, which is where you do the most parting anyways.Â
So, which type is better? It depends on what you’re looking to achieve. Both the full lace and lace fronts have pros and cons for the wearer. So, let’s look into those more.
Jumping right into it, our pick would be the full lace wig as opposed to a lace front for versatility. If you like wearing pigtails or a ponytail, we would say a full lace. You can achieve beautiful pig tails as well as a medium ponytail, a ponytail in the middle of your head, a low ponytail, or a high ponytail. (Our best suggestion is to try not to do a high sleek ponytail with a glueless unit, though. If you are wearing a glued wig, you can achieve that look, but we prefer glueless wigs.
With the fill lace, we would suggest a low to regula ponytail. This will give you room to cover all of the parts of the wig that you don't want to look wiggy. A full lace wig is going to be more expensive and more fragile. So, you have to be more careful with it.Â
If you're looking to achieve those looks, then it is worth the money. Try to buy from a company that has the ability to customize where the knots are bleached so there are no black dots. Also, if you like baby hairs, you can have baby hairs and sideburns cut into. Just make sure it's already done for you. If you're able to or have a stylist that can execute that look, you've already seen their work and you know they can do it, we suggest that you go for it.
The lace front is our go-to for the most part! It's cheaper and it's easier to maintain and we can achieve most of our favorite looks with it. You can do a side part, left part, and middle part. If you’re wondering which part looks best with a lace front wig, it's just a matter of what looks you're trying to accomplish. All parts look great with this type of wig. If you're a first time wig wearer, we would say start with a lace front because it's a great way for you to play, have fun, and get used to this new accessory. They're accessories to bring out a certain look that you're going for every day.
The main disadvantage of a lace front would be you can't do all the hairstyles with a lace front. With the full lace, there's no hairstyle that you cannot do. So, if you’re looking to do something like wedding hair, a low ponytail, a little bit of updo, but not a full updo, maybe a half updo the full lace does that really well.Â
So, which one should you buy? There’s no right or wrong answer. Ask yourself what do you want your wig to do for you? Then work your way back in terms of, these are the features that it needs to have because these features have these kinds of benefits. However, you might end up needing both types, if you’re a frequent wig-wearer. As we mentioned, we would suggest starting with the lace front.Â
