With winter in full swing, especially in New Jersey, it’s rare that I will leave my house without a wig. I’m currently rocking a pixie cut which does not mix well with harsh winds and my anemia. This length however works perfect to throw under a wig, especially when it’s too cold for my ears to be bare!
Wigs are perfect for really ANY occasion. You can throw one on when it’s supposed to be a wash day, but you’re feeling too relaxed to even think about that struggle. Find the perfect wig to compliment an outfit, and you could serve looks on par with Rihanna. The possibilities are endless when your hair choices are!
A lot of people can feel intimidated, especially if you’re stepping into a wig shop with no experience. Fortunately, the wig picking process is much easier than some might think. Once you’ve had a few, you become a pro at knowing what you want and what styles compliment you best.
For my readers who have never purchased a wig, I recommend going into your local beauty supply store or wig shop. Typically there’s a wonderful woman there, willing and ready to help you with any questions you might have. If this isn’t a feasible option for you, buying online is always a great alternative. Very few of my wigs are usually bought in store because online shopping is always so convenient! When going this route, it’s really important to do your research. Watch as many YouTube tutorials and reviews you can find! There are plenty of beauty influencers online to give you the tea on what wigs you should (and shouldn’t”> buy.
Keeping my hair healthy and protected under my wigs is always a priority for me. My haircare is easy, as I mentioned I have a short pixie cut. Usually, I simply slick my hair back, put some peppermint oil on my scalp, throw on my wig cap and go from there! If you have longer, thicker hair, you may have to do a bit more work. Don’t let that deter you! Just throw a few braids in your hair to help the wig lay flat. You can apply your favorite oils and treatments to your scalp as well.
If you’re looking for some products to keep your scalp healthy under these wig caps, Taliah Waajid has a great Bamboo, Avocado and Peppermint Conditioning serum. You can find it in our shop!
