Halloween Wigs

Wearing a wig with your Halloween costume is a great idea. Not only will it add to the reality of your disguise but it can make your look totally authentic. After all you can't be a real Halloween witch with beautiful blonde hair--well not really anyway. You would want to have bedraggled looking grey hair. A wig is obviously the way to achieve this look.

How to Wear A Halloween Wig
Without Looking a-Gouhl!

Choosing a Halloween costume is only half the battle in pulling off a great look for all the parties and festivities that this fall holiday brings. You've got to pull off great hair and makeup that will compliment your costume. Dying and styling your own hair for Halloween can be a pain, not to mention a huge mess in the bathroom. So, this year, why not rock an inexpensive Halloween wig instead and cut the time you need to get ready in half! Here are a few tips that will help you choose, prepare, and wear your Halloween wig.


Choose A Wig That's Already Styled The Way You Want
Inexpensive Halloween wigs won't stand a whole lot of styling, hairspray, or pins. So, choose a wig that is already set the way you wish to wear your hair, or at least pretty close. Never (really, never) use heat tools on your Halloween wigs! The wig hair is man-made and will melt on your hot tools, which will likely ruin your tool and the wig. It'll also smell to high heaven! Keep any brushing or combing light, as these wigs aren't meant to take a lot of abuse.


Consider a Wig Cap When you purchase your wig, consider purchasing a wig cap as well. A wig cap will keep your hair under control and will help secure the wig to your head.


Pull Your Hair Back
If your hair is long, pull it straight back into a secure ponytail at the base of your neck. Next, using bobby pins, secure the ends of the ponytail to the back of your head, keeping your hair as flat as possible.


If you have bangs or short hair, secure those loose hairs around your face back with bobby pins.


Put the Cap and Wig On
Next, put the wig cap on according to the package directions, ensuring that all your hair is secure back in the cap.
Style the Wig
After your wig is on and secure you can do some minor styling. Halloween wigs can be colored with temporary spray haircolor, but if you choose to use a spray haircolor, be sure that you have a light colored wig, as these colors will not show up will on dark wigs. Use a strong hairspray, if necessary to set your style.


Now you're ready to apply your makeup, put your costume on and head out to your festivities!

Types And styles Of Wigs For Black Women

Wigs for black women are made in several types and a great variety of styles. Black is of course the natural and most popular color but wigs in various colors can be obtained to suit all tastes. The quality of wigs ranges from the most expensive human hair wigs, through wigs made from animal hair and to the lowest cost hair pieces which are made from synthetic materials such as nylon.The  following material discusses quality wigs which are made on a lace base. This is quoted directly from Wikipedia:


A lace wig or a lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece or wig designed with a sheer lace base. Lace front wigs are made with real human hair or synthetic hair is which tied, by hand, to a sheer lace base. Full lace wigs may have a base made entirely of lace while the more common tactic is a lace front wig which has the sheer lace only at the front where the hairline is visible. The remainder of the wig is made out of a less fragile material which is less susceptible to ripping or tearing than the lace. Full lace wigs can be pulled into a high ponytail and up-do's, as opposed to lace front wigs. The lace is only in the front half of the wig, to allow the customer to part the hair any way he or she wants. If a lace front wig is pulled into a ponytail it will be obvious that it is a wig.
The lace wig is usually attached with the assistance of glues and tapes, which are applied to the front hairline area. Once the glue has dried, the front lace portion of the wig is affixed to the area where the glue has been applied on the hairline, creating a tight bond which keeps the lace wig in place on the head. Some lace wigs also have what is referred to as "baby hair" around the temple areas which is used to cover up any visible signs of lace on the forehead, the baby hair also helps to create a realistic hairline. Once applied the lace front wig will usually stay bonded for up to a week.

Black womens wigs are extremely popular both for wear in the case of lack of hair, which can result as a consequence of illness or simply of age. Fine quality human hair lace front wigs are the top quality, and are excellent for everyday wear. They last longer than synthetic wigs, and can also be readily styled which synthetic wigs cannot. Human hair wigs can be washed and dried just as your own natural hair can. Synthetic wigs on the other hand cannot be exposed to heat from a hair drier (which will destroy them), and cannot be restyled. They will always remain in the original style in which they were  manufactured.
