Improve Confidence And Self Esteem With Lace Wigs

By Shawn Hunter


Girls and women who must undergo a series of chemotherapy treatments know as well as any man what it is like to lose their hair. While it is not uncommon for men to suffer hereditary baldness, for women the loss of locks can have a devastating impact on their self esteem. One manner which many women use to keep feeling confident and feminine is to wear lace wigs.

Whether one splurges on human hair, or takes a less expensive animal or synthetic variety, they want their piece to look real. The sock is the lacey part of the piece, and each strand of hair is hand-tied to this sock which can then be worn over the scalp. In Europe they used to wear powdered hair pieces called periwigs, and these looked fake quite intentionally.

This sock which goes over the hair is what defines this style of adornment, and it came to be the most common type worn. This was due in large part to the invention of a machine which made lace at a much higher rate of speed. The sock is often flesh-colored, but it can also be made to the color specifications of the natural coloring of the wearer, which helps make complete the natural appearance.

Back in the day a wig was supposed to look fake because it was delineating social and economic status. As this sort of style went out, both men and women wanted their hair piece to appear natural and flow like real hair. This is not just to cover baldness, but different people have a variety of reasons for wearing artificial hair.

In this day of gender bending, men who wish to appear as women can accessorize their feminized look with a hair piece which fools the world into believing they have long locks, in any shade they choose. Women who are feeling less feminine due to the hair loss which can occur with illness or age have the same option. Rather than giving in to a self identity crisis, people have learned to combat these discomforts in life.

Within society is not uncommon to be treated differently by the general public based on stereotypes and some rigid social rules of behavior. Some women like to temporarily go into the world with a different hair color in order to experience the world differently. Sometimes they will get one in their own natural color, but much longer, because they just feel like having longer, thicker, straighter, curlier, etc., hair.

In order to create a more natural appearance, it is recommended that the wearer comb out the wispy, fine hair at the brow, over the ears, and along the back neckline. This creates the illusion that the natural hair grows seamlessly. Of course, this is only recommended if the wig being worn is the same basic color as the natural hair.

Women who wear wigs in a different color than their own are often recommended to do so by their hairdressers before they get their hair color changed permanently. It is always a good idea to wear the color temporarily before making the change permanent. A new color must match their clothes and lifestyle.
