For anyone new to the world of wig-wearing, knowing which type of wig is the best one for your needs isn’t always easy. You may also have budgetary restrictions, or other concerns, such as a sensitive scalp, that you need to consider.
One question you’ll almost certainly need to answer at the beginning of your wig-wearing journey is whether you’re interested in bespoke wigs or off-the-shelf wigs.
Let’s look at the difference between the two:
Bespoke wigs
Made to individual requirements, bespoke wigs are designed for each individual following a thorough and detailed consultation process with a wig expert and are typically handmade.
Because they’re made with each individual in mind, bespoke wigs are exceptionally hard to detect, both to the touch and to sight, giving the wearer additional confidence and comfort.
Is a bespoke wig the right option for you?
If you’re suffering from a condition such as alopecia (long-term hair loss), a bespoke wig could be perfect for you. Although not suitable for short-term hair loss, due to the time taking process of design and production, bespoke wigs are wonderfully effective for anyone dealing with the loss of their hair on a longer, or permanent basis.
What process is involved in creating a bespoke wig?
Firstly, you will be asked to consult with an experienced wig stylist who will go through your specific requirements with you. At this stage, you’ll be able to select the length, colour, and type of hair, as well as its density and foundation type.
Once you’ve made your selections, a template will be created of your head so that base dimensions of the wig can be established. Then, the design goes off to be processed.
What hair type is used for bespoke wigs?
Several different types of human hair can be used for bespoke wigs, such as mono, European, Indian, Chinese, and Remy. You can discuss your requirements with your wig specialist and choose the type of hair most suited to your needs.
Blended bespoke hairpieces
Not everyone loses all of their hair, but even a small amount of hair loss can be incredibly distressing. With this in mind, a bespoke wig can be masterfully created to seamlessly blend with your remaining hair, giving you the chance to enhance what you’ve got, rather than hiding it all beneath a wig.
For a blended bespoke wig, a consultation will take place with an experienced wig stylist, who will take a template of the precise size, shape, and contour of the area in which hair loss is present. Then, a sample of the colour of your own hair will be taken to help the designers of your bespoke wig attain a perfect colour match.
There are also a few different ways of wearing a bespoke wig, and during the consultation process, the methods of attachment will be discussed in detail so that you can make a well-informed decision.
Bespoke wigs can’t be ordered online, and for the best experience from start to finish, you should look for reputable wig shops in Miami, who will make sure you get a final product you can fall in love with.
Bespoke wigs give you total control over what the final hairpiece will look like, and you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that they can be styled just as you would your existing hair, washing, blow-drying, and straightening included.
