Whether you choose to buy a wig because you don't want to dye your natural hair or you prefer a wig over having to style your own, here is everything you need to know before buying that first wig.

Wigs are nothing like they are in the movies, where they rip the wig off, and there is only their natural hair underneath it that comes tumbling down their shoulders. In reality, you need a wig cap to keep everything in place.

You will need to find out what size wig cap you need to purchase a wig cap that will fit your head and ensure that your natural hair stays hidden and your wig has something to adhere to while it is on your head.

As you might well know, there are two types of wigs. Some wigs are made from synthetic fibers but look and feel almost the same as human hair, and then some wigs are made of human hair. Human hair wigs tend to be much pricier but look better.

You will need to decide based on your budget and the look that you are trying to achieve which type of wig you will buy. This might also affect the wig cap that you need to buy, so it is important to ensure that you do your research regarding which types of hair match best with which caps.
