How to Select Wig Material

On behalf of Expert Village, here at Jean Pierre, I'm Gloria VanWoerkom and I'm helping my client Rebeca chose a wig. I'm going to tell her a little bit about the fibers and the textures of different wigs. The fiber in this is a modacrylic fiber. There is a lot of other and different kind of fibers that a little bit heavier and they are not as beautiful, not as natural looking as this fiber is. This fiber is really really pretty. This fiber you can curl it with hot rollers, you can cut it, you can wash it. It is pretty much wash and wear and it is just beautiful when you have washed it. You can take it through now, I'm going to tell you about how to pick a fiber. When you are looking at fibers make sure that they are light weight. See how beautiful that fiber is, it is very light and it is very natural looking. Some of the fibers are really clumpy and they are really stiff and they are heavier wiry fiber. This fiber is very beautiful fiber you can see how that fall just like it would do on your own hair. So when you are picking a wig of any style make sure that the fiber is very light and very natural looking. You don't want to get anything very heavy cause when you get into a wig that is very heavy and you put it on your head it is going to look heavy. You want you to look very natural and there is no reason why you can not look natural. There are so many people now wearing wigs that you would be totally amazed to see the people wear them. So just be sure that your fibers are nice and you feel very comfortable and it is very soft and light against your face.
