BEAUTY SCENE n HOLIDAY HAIR

t’s that time of year again! Time for
fall fashion, hot cocoa, and times of
togetherness with friends and family.
But what about our hair? Many peo-
ple don’t realize how frequent weather
changes can affect our tresses. Depend-
ing on geographically where you’re read-
ing this from, you may or may not expe-
rience cold weather during the fall and
winter months. Regardless, it is common
to want to change your hair for certain
holidays and special occasions. My pro-
fessional recommendation for anyone
wanting to switch up their look frequently
while also caring for their natural hair is to
give custom wigs a try.
Custom wigs provide a versatile protective
style that is long lasting, while also allow-
ing you to sleep comfortably at night. In
fact, one of the most beneficial reasons for
wearing custom wigs is that you are able to
take them on and off allowing for the hair
to not get tangled in a bonnet or shower

cap, and your real hair underneath is easi-
ly accessible. When a client comes into my
salon for a consultation and explains to me
that they are too busy for styles that require
a lot of maintenance, nine times out of ten,
I am going to recommend that they invest
in a custom wig. Once the style is chosen,
precise measurements are taken of the
client’s head shape and size to ensure a
perfect fit. Then, once I have the selected
hair, I can create a custom look that’s going
to compliment the client’s beauty and life-
style. The first install is included in the price
of the wig, so you will receive all how-to
care tips at that time as well.
Another benefit of custom wigs is that you
don’t have to be the same “Plain Jane” ev-
ery single day. Hair is a form of self-expres-
sion that can be expressed in tons of dif-
ferent ways. Any color you’ve ever wanted
to try and any cut you’re too afraid to do to
your own hair is now a possibility without
No matter what your style, custom wigs
are one of the best ways to maintain a
flawless look while also caring for your
natural hair underneath on a daily basis.
It’s certainly a great investment, especially
if you’re someone who likes to keep their
hair looking fresh from day to day but has
a hectic schedule. For maintenance my
professional recommendation is to have
the wig serviced once a month for a good
cleanse, as well as a deep conditioning for
your natural hair. This way both the wig
and your natural hair have the best pos-
sible amount of TLC. Keep your hair pro-
tected during the colder months, and it
will be sure to reflect health, shine, and re-
tention of length. Who doesn’t want that?

the commitment of permanence. Many
times, permanent hair color - if not done
properly and professionally - can damage
our strands. Trying that color with exten-
sions is a simple solution. What if you have
always wanted to try a bob haircut, cut
your beautiful long hair, and then ended
up hating it? However, f you were to get a
customized wig with that style, you could
easily just alter the style or simply remove
the wig. Want to experiment with fantasy
colors, but your workplace only allows nat-
ural hair tones? Wear your fun wig on the
weekends and be whoever you want to be
until Monday morning. The possibilities
are literally endless!
