A human hair black wig that looks real won't cost you much, and maybe you will think, I'm not a professional, how do I make hair look natural?

Now, I'll show you some tips on how to do a natural-looking wig. I promise the hairstylist doesn’t realize that you wear a wig!

How to Make a Wig Look Natural

Choosing the Right wig
Styles and face shapes

Not every wig is right for you, so carefully selecting the right texture and length will make your wig natural. Here are my suggestions for different styles of wigs for different face shapes:

Face	Recommended Hairstyle
oval face	long, centre-parted hairstyle; ponytail
square face	curved or wavy hair
round face	a wig that can be parted to one side
heart-shaped face	long-sized wig
diamond-shaped face	bob whatever texture

If you have an oval face, congratulations, this face shape fits a wide range of textures and styles of wigs. You can try a long, centre-parted hairstyle with your hair on either side of your ears; or put your hair in a ponytail for a more confident look!

If you have a square-face shape, you can opt for a curved or wavy look which will weaken your face line and will make your face look thinner. Never opt for a bob wig as this will show your chin and will make your face look square.

If you have a round face, then you need a wig to make your face smaller. You can opt for a wig that can be parted to one side as this will attract people to keep their attention on one side of your face instead of the centre.

If you have a heart-shaped face, it is advisable to get a long hair wig as it will make your face look less top-heavy.

If you have a diamond-shaped face, your chin, and cheekbones will look narrow so you need a bob, whatever texture suits you, this will smooth out your face.

Color Matching

You need to choose a wig that matches your skin tone, there are cool, neutral, and warm tones, which are all factors that influence your wig selection.

Please don’t never choose the wig just because the model in the picture looks good with it and always read the detailed description first to see if the hair color matches your skin tone. Furthermore, if you want your wigs to look more natural, you can dye the roots to make them resemble your freshly grown hair, but make sure the roots match your skin tone.

Material Matters

Wigs nowadays are generally divided into two hair types: human hair and synthetic hair. Even though these two types of wigs look like natural-looking wigs, they can still have a lot of differences if you look closely.

Proper Wig Application
Adjusting the wig cap

Wearing it correctly helps keep your wig in place. This makes your wig look more real. It is especially helpful if you play sports.

Make sure all your hair is tucked inside the cap, and if it's too long, use clips to clip it in place to reduce unevenness on the top of the head, which will make the wig smoother and more natural.

Use Clips and Tape

Clip the hair behind your ears with clips and tape the edges of the wig so that the hairline of the wig coincides with your real hair hairline, then gently press down on the tape to keep the wig securely on your head.

Blending with Natural Hair

Match the hairline of your wig with your real hair, lift the lace and spray the edges of the lace with glue spray, and then blow dry the glue with low or medium warm air (avoid using hot air as it may damage your skin or the lace.).

Then wrap the hairline wig with a hairband and set for ten minutes before gently removing the hairband and checking with your fingers that your lace is securely fastened to your scalp.

Styling for a Natural look

Cutting and Trimming

Trim your favorite hairstyle or a haircut that suits your face shape, you can choose to cut it yourself.

If you don’t know how to cut wig hair, bring a picture to a hairstylist who can cut it for you (if you have no experience in hairdressing it is recommended that you find a professional hairdresser to cut your hair as wigs are not allowed to grow again after cutting).

Heat Styling

Use a straightener or curling iron to change the texture of the wig to make your hair more smooth and natural. Please be careful to adjust the temperature of the heat styling tool to avoid damage to your hair.

Creating Layers and Texture

Use a styling spray, lightly comb through your hair to add volume at the top of your head, and spritz your hair at the roots.

If your wig is long enough, run your fingers through it lightly to give it a "messy" wig, or use scissors to layer your hair for a more realistic appearance. Re-spraying your hair will help your style last longer, so do it if you're happy with the way it looks.

Blending Techniques
Hairline and parting

Many wigs are machine-made so it has a clean hairline, the wig will inevitably look like a fake scalp wig.

You can pre-pluck a few hairs with tweezers, pre-pluck about 15 hairs from the forehead and center parting, and never operate too many hairs in the same place as it will make that part of the hairless.

Root Concealer

Wigs will have many small knots at the top of the head parting, so if you feel unnatural with your wig, try a liquid concealer or powdered concealer to create a realistic parting.

If you don't want to do your pre-plucking, we recommend glueless wigs that have been pre-plucked and bleached knots to make your wig look more real. Please click here!

Accessorizing

If you feel too monotonous with just a wig, try bringing a hat or scarf for a more comfortable and natural look. Try different styles until it suits you!

Maintenance and Care
Daily care

Before washing the wig, please use a wide tooth comb to smooth the hair to avoid knots in the washing process; first wet the wig (preferably the direction of the water flow is the same as the wig), and evenly apply shampoo on the wig; then gently wash off the shampoo with water, and when washing, you can put your fingers through the wig, because this will make the wig fluent; then evenly apply conditioner on the hair, and rinse it off a few minutes later, which will make the wig smoother.

Storage Tips

After washing your hair, gently press the water on the hair with a towel and leave it in a cool place to air dry. Do not leave it in the sun as it will damage your hair! If you do not use it, you can put it in a dry box to avoid hair distortion.
