When we choose a new wig, we normally get seduced by the hairstyles that we see on the shelves or installed on a model’s head (when buying from an online hair store), and we tend to forget that any wig can be styled in so many different ways. Next time you are buying a new wig, try to imagine how many different hairstyles you could possibly do with that wig. If you can come up with some ideas for different looks, the chances are very high that you will be able to have many memorable moments wearing that wig.

If you are struggling to think about different ways you can style your wigs, we have listed some ideas below for extremely easy hairstyles that you can create without any professional help, and it is guaranteed that you will manage to create a stunning look.

Before you even start thinking about styling your Brazilian hair wig, the first step is to make sure that the hair is clean and fully detangled. If you have just washed your hair, please wait for it to dry completely before detangling the strands. Use a detangling brush or a wide tooth comb and start brushing from the ends to the top. These first steps are very important to minimize breakage and shedding of your beautiful hair.

You might be using some heat when styling your wig, so it is very important to make sure your hair is well moisturized (using a leave-in conditioner can be a great idea after washing your hair) and also protected with a heat-protectant product to prevent any damage caused by the heat. If your hair has curls, try to look for products that are specifically catered for this type of hair, because they will definitely help you to have a more well-defined texture.

Before we jump straight into our suggestions on how to style your wigs, it is important to remember that there are four main types of wig caps:

The more lace the wig has, the more expensive it will be and the more options you will be able to build with your wig. The styles listed below were created with a lace front wig in mind. This is a very popular type of wig in South Africa, and chances are high that you have this type of wig, even if you are a complete beginner or an expert in wearing wigs.

There are many different ways to add curls or waves to your hair. You could use a curler, a flat iron, or even the old-fashioned good rollers. After you achieve the curls that you like, add some hair spray so that they can last longer.

If you are working with a synthetic wig, make sure that your wig is heat resistant. All LolaSilk synthetic ranges are heat-resistant, so you will be able to style the hair using heat. Just remember that heat resistant synthetic fibres will get the shape that you want only after they are completely cooled down, so remember this tip when styling your synthetic wig. Even if you have Brazilian, Peruvian, or synthetic hair, it is important to keep the temperature of your styling tools as low as possible to minimize heat damage to your wig.

There are so many types of buns that you can make, and they are the most charming style. Low buns are perfect for Lace Front wigs because you don’t have to worry about the fact that your wig does not have the lace at the back of your head. There are many YouTube tutorials on how to make a low bun. You can create a messier and more casual style or a neater and more formal one. Also, we love it when a low bun style also has some loose strands falling on the sides of your face, just to add a more feminine touch.

To achieve this look, all you need to do is to brush back the frontal part of your hair and tie it together in a ponytail or a bun. If you prefer a more casual look, pick only the top part of the hair and leave the front strands loose, framing your face. If you are going to a more formal event, you might want to perfectly pull back the frontal part of your wig and also add some curls to your half-ponytail to create a more dramatic look.

We should never underestimate the power of beautiful accessories to completely change our look. There are many types of headbands and hair pins/clips that you can choose from, and it will be impossible not to find something that suits your style and personality.

The four tips on how to style your wig mentioned above are just the beginning for you to start having fun with your wigs again. The more you try different styles of hair, the better you will get at doing it, and the list of possibilities is endless.
