Women change their clothes, shoes and makeup every day, so why not change their hair too? Modern artificial wigs are becoming more and more natural. Women deserve to feel beautiful and confident every day. Wigs give them this great opportunity. And if for some this item is a funny and original accessory, then for others it is a vital necessity, do not forget about it.
Kanekalon wig
This material is a type of artificial hair that imitates natural hair very well. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference at a glance. In the production of kanekalon, even extracts from seaweed are used.
The birthplace of this fiber is Japan. The most attractive aspect of synthetic hair is that it can often be worn straight out of the box with little to no styling. Kanekalon hasa kind of "memory", retaining waves and curls, which allows the wig to stay in shape and care for it with minimal effort.
Material withstands bad weather well, curls do not change their volume. If we talk about the benefits, then kanekalon wigs are very light. It is easy to comb them, they almost do not get tangled. Another plus is that they are available in a fantastic range of colors - from natural to trendy shades. In addition, these wigs are soft to the touch and completely hypoallergenic. An important detail that speaks in their favor is an affordable price.
Of course, synthetic wigs have their drawbacks. Nothing compares to natural hair. Synthetic fibers do not lend themselves to heat treatment to change the structure of the curl. They are, of course, less durable than natural ones. With proper care, wigs can be expected to last about six months. The limited versatility of synthetic hair becomes less important when it comes to affordability. With kanekalon wigs, you can have a huge variety of styles and looks at your fingertips.
There are many secrets that a person who has never worn a wig does not even think about. But if you decide to buy it, you should study the issue thoroughly.
How to properly wear a wig
The first thing to do is prepare the hair on your head. If the strands are short, just remove them from the face and pin them up. If they are long, you need to twist them in small curls and secure with clips over the entire surface.
Then you need to tilthead forward while holding the back of the head (where the label is) with both hands. Place the front of the product over the eyebrows, then put it on. Finally, carefully look at yourself in the mirror and fix your wig, if necessary.
Kanekalon wig does not require special care. To keep it voluminous and shiny, you need to follow some rules.
How to wash the product
Even synthetic materials tend to get dirty.
Cleaning the kanekalon wig correctly:
- Before washing, gently comb the strands with a comb or brush.
- Add some shampoo to a container filled with cold water. Immerse the wig there for 1-2 minutes. Do not rub, but only gently run your hands over all parts of the product, removing dirt. You have to be careful, especially where the fibers are attached.
- Rinse the shampoo with cold water until the detergent is completely removed.
- Apply a small amount of wig conditioner to hands and run through hair, distributing evenly. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Compressing and twisting the product is not recommended. You need to pat it dry with a folded towel and let it dry naturally, putting it on a blank.
