Up until a few years ago, I though that wigs/hair pieces were just for cosplayers, balding people or Halloween/stage costumes. Any normal person wouldn't have the need to get one. But now, with the advent of technology to produce more realistic-looking strands of hair, you'll realize that wigs are great if you want to change your hairstyle for a day, or if you want to see what you'd look like with a certain length/color/style of hair~ ☆ People love variety!
Long, curly, blonde full wig.
I love the curls, I often wish my own hair could be curly!
The wig itself.
Back view.
Flat on the bed.
Long, straight, blonde full wig.
Same color as the curly one.
The fringe was a tad too long, so I trimmed it...
With Chopper!
I really like this wig ♡
It's really veeeery long.
The cumbersome thing is that going out, when the wind blows the long strands can get tangled.
Things like rings can get caught when you try to tuck hair behind your ear etc.
Hence, when storing wigs it's wise to wrap them in a net to prevent tangling. But things can still catch onto the net, so it would be wise to put it in a bag/plastic to further protect it.
Long, straight, ash-brown full wig.
Same as the blonde one earlier but in a different color.
I really love the color of this! ♡
And I really love this wig as well.
The back view. It's really long, almost butt-length.
Love the streaks on the side~ ♡
The wig itself.
Straight, reddish-brown ponytail wig.
You tie your real hair into a ponytail, then wrap/tie the wig around it.
The wig should cover your real ponytail, which is hidden under/inside.
Curly, red-brown ponytail wig.
Same color as the straight ponytail wig earlier.
This is a half-wig.
It starts from the middle of the top of your head and doesn't have a fringe.
The texture of the hair strands is really fake-looking...
Plus this doesn't match my hair color.
So, I have no idea how to use this as it's weird :/
Semi-long, red-toned brown, curly half-wig.
Reddish-brown, straight, fringe wig.
Bun wig.
Close up of the bun wig.
All the various wiggy stuff I have.
Other than the full wigs, the rest are from Gmarket.
And I have to say that the quality of the Gmarket ones are not good.
I would not recommend them.
Also, the color variety is limited, mostly black or dark reddish-brown.
You should use a wig brush to brush your wigs, as plastic bristles can cause static and may end up making the strands tangled and messier. Wig brushed have metal bristles to prevent static. Do not use on real hair as you might end up scraping your scalp with the sharp metal bristles!
Wearing a wig cap under your wig can help make a better fit, so that your real hair doesn't get in the way of donning the wig. It also helps to "flatten" your real hair so that the lump under the wig won't be so large and noticeable, especially for people with long, thick hair ^^
The blue thing is a wig stand. I use it while combing the wig so that there's a "head shape" under the hair...I can't actually leave any of my wigs on them as they're tooooo long!
Wigs are great if you want to change your hairstyle for a day, or if you want to see what you'd look like with a certain length/color/style of hair~ ☆ But for me, because my real hair is long and rather thick, donning wigs heats up my scalp as having all that real hair sucked under the wig traps a lot of hot air, and I can't bear it for too long in Singapore's horribly hot and humid weather^^ But I have worn them during spring in Japan, and thanks to the weather the experience was a lot more bearable :D
