Do You Shave Your Head Or Match A Wig To Your Hair? Wig Talk Wednesday

[@02tinky]

Hi. I have extremely thin hair, but I let it grow to my shoulders so I could wear toppers. They feel more natural to me. Much lighter and cooler!

Hi! I wore hair toppers for years. I love Raquel Welch Wigs topper Top Billing Wavy 14 inch. Toppers are great, especially in hot weather! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

I just put it "over" my hair, and with a "rooted" color that's close to my color, so if you see some of my hair, its okay. But the wig pretty much covers it.

A good Idea may to get the sample hair from the wig company that you wish to buy a wig from. Then you can get a close match to what ever your hair color is, ( if you dye it or not). I used to always dye my hair and match the wig color to it. I no longer dye my hair, and it is a little harder to match because my bio hair has lots of platinum in it. It is like a ash blonde with more white. So I look for colors that are close to my color. Also it is in so much better condition now. I have been doing better with my health. It sure can be hard but it sure is fun finding the right wig!

Great advice, Terry Sue. A wig brand color ring or sample can save much time and expense with wig color selection.

I wonder that same question. I think Blond and very light browns complement Julia's coloring. I myself stick to the color my hair is now, just because of my age.

Oh, also the reason I grow my own hair longer is so when I pull the "topper" hair into a ponytail, my hair shows at the hairline and gives the illusion that it is ALL my hair!

Great tip for newbies who may want to try hair toppers. Thank you!

I am struggling with this right now as I am new to the wig world. My original color is a dark honey blonde. It's down to my shoulders. When I put it in a low pony and then put it up, I still feel a bump in my wig. I am thinking I may have to cut my bio hair (no loss there!). I purchased Simmer in shaded sand this summer, and it's very blonde. Moving forward, I will purchase something a little darker. I don't think I would color my bio hair at this point because it's already fragile. I was a little disappointed with the wig as it's too big (and I purchased the petite!). I wish there were more petite wigs out there for smaller heads! Thank you for video this week!

Hello Angela. Did you tighten the adjusters at the nape to make the wig circumference smaller? The petite circumference can be made smaller about half an inch to one inch, which still may not be small enough. I hate that you purchased the petite and it doesn’t fit. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.

@@WigReviewCentral Thank you so much for the suggestion. I did try this, and then I sewed the cap a bit. Still too large, but I am making it work!

I don’t think wig colors and colors in salons for bio hair are the same. I haven’t been dying my bio hair but have been considering it.

[@WigReviewCentral]

You are right. They are not the same. I learned that. Also, colors look differently on synthetic fiber than human hair. Since human hair wigs are often made of Asian hair, the dye takes differently than on true European hair. Wig color selection can be a challenge.

[@peperlover99]

I shave a tiny bit of teh side of my temples and keep my bio hair as is. I can wear any color that way and the most people think is that I just dyed my hair

[@WigReviewCentral]

I have to shave the hair in front of my ears some times when wig ear tabs set too high, especially if the color is different.

[@peperlover99]

@@WigReviewCentral yeah it's a shame. That's because, like with clothing, standardized sizes are because pf greater profit for corporations and not for greater fit for the purchaser

[@TammyLoveLife]

What's the point of dying your hair to match a wig color That doesn't even make sense to me. You just put the wig on You don't see your own hair under it anyways. That would be way too much work for me.. and it wouldn't make a difference.

[@WigReviewCentral]

Hi Tammy. Sometimes hair shows at the ear tabs. Some wig ear tabs set high and don’t cover the hair. Shaving the hair is an option. Matching a wig color to hair color is an option. Coloring hair to match the wig color is another option. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion.
