Putting the Cosmetics Pieces Together

If you've decided to invest in a wig, don't choose one off the shelf. Invest in a custom wig, instead. You may think that all wigs are the same, but that's not the case. There are quite a few noticeable differences between off-the-shelf wigs and custom wigs. For one thing, off-the-shelf wigs are mass-produced, which means there will be other people wearing the same exact style. Because they're mass-produced, off-the-shelf wigs won't provide the quality and durability you expect from your wig. Here are four other reasons why you need to choose a custom wig. 

Fit

If you're going to be wearing a wig, you want it to fit right. Unfortunately, you won't get that with an off-the-shelf wig. That's because they're designed to be one-size-fits-all. To get the best fit possible, you need to choose a custom wig. One of the great things about custom wigs is that they're designed for your head. In fact, you'll have a professional fitting where your head measurements will be taken. Your custom wig will even fit those areas around your temples and the base of your neck. Because your wig will be a perfect fit, you won't need to use adhesive to keep it in place. 

Feel

If you've decided to wear a wig, you want your experience to be comfortable. You don't want to get stuck with a wig that's hot or heavy. You also don't want a wig that has unnatural-feeling hair. Luckily, you won't get any of that when you choose a custom wig. Custom wigs are designed to feel natural on your head, which means they'll be lightweight and comfortable. Not only that, but you can also choose a wig with human hair, which ensures a more natural feel for you. 

Appearance

If you're going to be wearing a wig, you want to choose how it looks. You'll get to do that when you invest in a custom wig. With a custom wig, you'll get to choose everything from the length of the hair to the color of the hair. You'll even get to decide how much curl you want in the hair. Not only that, but the hairline will also be designed to your specifications. As a result, when you put your new custom wig on, it can look like you're wearing your own, natural hair. 

Maintenance

If you're going to invest in a wig, choose one that won't require a lot of maintenance. Off-the-shelf wigs need a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good. You won't have that problem when you choose a custom wig, especially one with human hair. With a custom wig, you'll be able to wash and style it like you do your own natural hair.
