10 Perfect Grey Wigs For Older Ladies
The perfect wig is the one that makes you feel amazing!
Don’t be afraid to try all sorts of styles!
White and Grey Wigs
White and grey wigs come in a large range of colors. Just like your natural hair, it starts out
with more dark hair and as it progresses it becomes more white. They’re all beautiful!
Below are some of the variations that can be found.
Salt and pepper wigs
A little darker and we have salt and pepper wigs. These can be on the
lighter side or only have a smattering of white.
longer rooted wigs
Browns, blondes and highlighted colors now come in a variety of rooted styles. Simply said,
the roots are a darker color adding more depth and can have a more natural look. Sometimes the
roots are dramatically darker giving a whole different look.
what are the most natural looking wigs
Most people will say that it’s a human hair, fully hand tied stretch cap with a monofilament top and an ear to ear lace front. Now that’s quite a mouthful!
Just about any wig will look natural if made well and worn properly. A traditional, machine made wig can look great if you like bangs, shorter layers and fullness on top. If you like a top with a smoother, less full top then a lace front and hand tied monofilament top will be the best.
So again there is not just one answer. Have an in-depth consultation with a wig specialist and learn what’s best for you.
what type of wig is the easiest to maintain
This is an easier question to answer. Synthetic wigs are practically maintenance free! What ever the style is when you buy it will be the same wash after wash! The curl, wave or smoothness of the fiber is created to be just what you see. Yes, your wig does need to be washed after about every 15 times you wear it but all you do is gently detangle, give it a good shake and stick on a wig stand to dry…..easy peasy!
Now, a human hair wig is human hair….go figure! Just like natural hair it needs to be washed, conditioned, blown dry, curled, straightened….you get the picture. Not only that but its not attached to your scalp so you usually need a cork head and some kind of wig stand or tripod to hold it while you work on it. Human hair will also frizz in the rain and it’s color will fade in the sun.
So, the motto of this entire post is that there is no right or wrong answer, it just depends on what you’re comfortable with.
This is why it’s so important to have all of the information to make a choice that you will love!
the secret about grey, human hair wigs
There are some online wigs sites where they will tell you that they have human hair, salt and pepper wigs. This is just not true. Any “white” in a human hair wig will actually be a pale platinum blonde. It will be very light but not white.
Human hair, salt and pepper wigs are actually a hybrid of human and heat defiant synthetic fibers. This way you have the color you want, you can curl or straighten, but it’s not 100% human.
AGAIN – a wig specialist will make sure that you know what you’re getting and that its right for you.
Sorry about going on and on about these subjects but you can see how many factors go into finding the right wig. Without knowing these things you’ll end up with a graveyard of wigs in the back of your closet that you only pull out on Halloween! Good wigs are an investment and a large part of how you feel about yourself. Make sure to take your time so you’ll be excited everyday about how you look!
Finding the perfect wig can be exciting and challenging at the same time. If you’re in the
Boston area come in for a one-on-one consultation and explore the possibilities!
