1. Start With a Consultation

First, meet with a wig specialist to discuss your needs. At Allusions, we offer consultations to help you get started! We’ll ask about your lifestyle, styling goals, and hair loss concerns. Then, we’ll recommend the best options for your needs and budget.

2. Choose Between Human Hair and Synthetic Hair

Next, decide whether you want a human hair or synthetic wig. Human hair offers natural movement and styling versatility. Synthetic wigs are more affordable and low maintenance. Each type has unique benefits depending on your lifestyle! 

3. Pick the Right Cap Style

Now, let’s talk about comfort and fit. Wigs come in different cap constructions like lace front, monofilament, and basic caps. Lace front wigs create a natural-looking hairline. Monofilament caps offer breathability and a realistic scalp look. Make sure to choose a cap that feels secure and suits your needs.

4. Get the Right Fit

Proper fit ensures your wig feels comfortable and stays in place. Measure your head before purchasing a wig. At Allusions, we can help you with this! 

5. Customize Your Wig

Once you pick your wig, personalize it for a natural look. Read our blog on some tips to styling you wig to your unique face shape and the top wig trends of this year.  Don’t be afraid to make it your own!

6. Learn to Care for Your Wig

Next, learn how to wash and store your wig properly! Use wig-friendly products, gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb before washing, and let it air dry on a wig stand to preserve shape. Please read more here. 
We’ll show you everything during your appointment at Allusions.

7. Practice Makes Perfect

Wearing a wig may feel different at first so practice by putting it on and styling it at home. Our tip is to use adjustable straps or wig grips to secure the fit. Confidence grows with each wear—give yourself time to adjust.
