Wigs haven’t been this popular since the 1960s. Then they were a must-have fashion accessory for women of all ages. Now they’ve come roaring back thanks to celebrities like Lady Gaga. For many women, this new various of an old trend has been a revelation. There have been huge changes in the materials and construction used to create today’s high-quality wigs.

One of the biggest changes in wigs is access to human hair wigs. These provide the natural look many women are seeking. The evolution in wig construction has allowed manufacturers to create wigs that can be styled with parts and exposed hairlines. This is quite the change from the wigs of the 1960s where a fringe was necessary to disguise the cap that was used as a foundation for the wigs.

Time Savings

We all love having the perfect outfit for every event. From work to a night out, having time to style and change our hair can cut into our time to have fun. That’s one reason why wigs and hairpieces have become so popular with busy people. They enable us to swap looks with only a few minutes notice so we always have perfect hairdo for whatever invitations come our way. When a big event is on the horizon, one wig can even be styled in an updo ahead of time so that it is ready for the big day.

Endless Variety

One of the most important things about today’s fashions is the variety. While we can look back at pictures from the 1950s and see everyone wearing variations on the same clothes, now people can pick and choice their own styles. We expect to be able to dress to reflect our own personalities but we also don’t like to be limited.

Experimenting with looks for every occasion or to fit our moods has become a way of life. Why let your hair hold you back? Switch hair colours or lengths in a moment so you are ready for the next event. You no longer need to be limited by the hair you were born with. Switch from curly to straight hair. Wear a wig with a conservative haircut to work then, for an evening out, switch to a bold style or an exotic colour.

No Commitment

Wigs can enable you to try different hair colours, cuts, and styles – all without needing to make a commitment. So often we try the latest trend in hairstyles only to quickly decide it no longer suits us. With wigs we can switch to a different look whenever we feel like it. No more awkward months or years spent waiting for our hair to grow back out once we decide we want to sport a new hairstyle.

Low Maintenance

Another common issue with keeping up with the latest in hairstyles is the time it takes to maintain the look. Many hairstyles require hours of hot curlers, straighteners, and other treatments, just to keep them looking their best. That can mean having to get up earlier each morning in order to have the hairdo put together before work. Frequent trims can be required, particularly for shorter hairstyles. Next, retouching up colour as the roots grow out is a constant battle. Wigs can solve all those problems. Some wigs even come pre-styled so that they are always ready to wear.

Wigs have another advantage in that they don’t need to be washed as often as a head of hair. That’s because less oil makes its way from the scalp to the hair shaft. Pre-styled wigs can simply be cleaned with wig shampoo, treated with conditioner, and then finger styled after it has been placed on a wig stand to dry. Instead of spending time struggling with a hair dryer and other styling tools, you can switch to a different wig for the night while you’re waiting for one wig to dry. That way you are never forced to take downtime due to your hair. Instead, you can always be ready to go out at a moment’s notice.
