Warm white skin color: suitable for a variety of colors, such as light brown, black, dull green, etc., both cold and warm tones can be controlled, but warm tones will better set off the whiteness of the skin.

Yellow skin color: suitable for chestnut, dark brown, black and red series, etc. These colors can enhance the brightness of the skin color and make the skin look whiter. Avoid choosing a yellow wig that is too light, so as not to increase the yellowness of your skin.
Dark skin: You can choose bright colors such as gold and light brown, which can brighten your skin and make your face look brighter and more lustrous.

For example, if you have black hair, it is more natural to choose a dark brown or natural black wig.

5. Consider face shape and wig style

Long face: Suitable for medium-length curly and wavy wigs with bangs. Bangs can shorten the visual length of the face, while curly hair can add softness and make the facial lines look rounder.
Round face: You can choose a shoulder-length BOBO wig with more hair on the top of the head, or straight hair with layers. Avoid choosing too fluffy or heavy bangs to avoid making your face look rounder.

Overall weight: A wig that is too heavy will increase the burden on the head, and it is easy to get tired after wearing it for a long time, especially for children, the elderly, and those who need to wear it for a long time. Light styles should be selected, such as wigs with simple styles and light materials.

7. Pay attention to the size and fit of the wig

Measure the head circumference: Use a soft ruler to measure the circumference of the fullest part of the head, that is, from the forehead and eyebrows around the top of the head to the most prominent position of the back of the head. The measured data is the head circumference size, and then choose the appropriate wig size according to the size comparison table provided by the wig merchant.
Try-on experience: If conditions permit, it is best to try on the wig in person to check whether it is comfortable to wear and whether it will cause pressure on the ears, scalp and other parts. At the same time, pay attention to the stability and firmness of the wig to avoid easy displacement or falling during wearing.

8. Choose according to season and occasion
Seasonal factors: In summer, you should choose a thin and breathable wig, avoid too thick and dense styles, and prevent problems caused by poor scalp sweating; in winter, you can choose a slightly thicker wig, such as long curly hair, thick straight hair, etc., which can keep warm and meet the needs of fashion styling.
Occasion factors: In business and formal occasions, it is recommended to choose a wig with simple style and natural color, such as short straight hair, bun hair, etc., to show a professional and stable image; in leisure and entertainment occasions, you can try more personalized styles, such as colored curly hair, braids, etc., to show youthful vitality and fashionable personality.

Cleaning frequency: Determine the cleaning cycle according to the wearing frequency and season. When wearing often or sweating in summer, you need to wash frequently, generally 2-3 times a week; when wearing less or the weather is dry, it can be extended to once a week or longer. Regular cleaning can keep the wig clean, remove odors, prevent bacteria from growing, and extend its service life.
Cleansing products: When washing, you should use special wig shampoo and conditioner. These products have a moderate pH value and can effectively clean dirt and grease without damaging the wig material, protecting its color and texture. Avoid using ordinary shampoo, the chemical components in which may damage the wig fiber.
Styling tools: For wigs that can be styled, such as real human hair wigs, be careful not to use too high a temperature when using styling tools to avoid damaging the hair. It is recommended to lower the temperature first, and then gradually adjust it to the appropriate temperature.

11. Channels for purchasing wigs

Purchase in physical stores: The advantage of buying wigs in physical stores such as wig stores or beauty salons is that you can try them on directly, feel the material, comfort and effect of the wig, and get professional advice and after-sales service, but the price is relatively high and the styles may be limited.

Avoid exposure to the sun: Long-term direct sunlight can cause the wig material to discolor and age. Therefore, when storing wigs, try to place them in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. When you are outdoors, if you need to wear a wig, try to take some protective measures, such as holding an umbrella or wearing a hat, to reduce the damage of the sun to the wig.
