Improve Confidence And Self Esteem With Lace Wigs

By Shawn Hunter


Chemotherapy treatments are a harsh and potentially dangerous form of medical care, and one of the many terrible side-effects is the complete loss of hair. This being so, it is not the only reason a man or a woman might feel the need to wear a hair piece. Lace wigs are used as an adornment for a variety of reasons.

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.

The sock is the part which is made of a lace-looking material that can be made of synthetic materials, but is often made of silk. It became the most popular type of hairpiece worn after a machine was developed which could make decorative laces more quickly. Because the sock can be made flesh colored, or designed to match the hair color of the wearer, this contributes to the natural look.

In days gone by members of the gentry would be seen with a hairpiece as a way to show their standing in the upper classes of society. As being part of the upper crust became less important, such lifestyle advertisements were not as desired. These pieces are worn for more than covering baldness or maintaining a confident edge in society.

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.

Women often are subjected to stereotyping and rules of anticipated behavior due to seemingly irrelevant aspects of their appearance, such as hair color. For many women it is a fun and interesting experience to wear hair in a completely different hue in order to experience the world from a new perspective. Not only that, but they can have a hair style at any length, depending on mood, rather than waiting months or years for it to grow out again.

In order to make it look completely natural, women are told to comb down the fine, wispy baby hairs from their forehead, over the ears, and along the back of the neck. When done properly, there should be no obvious line between their hairline and the sock. When done this way the wearer can sport a ponytail, hair combs, and even barrettes.

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.
