What do you look for when buying a wig!!!!!!!!!!

[Baby Girl]

I am going to purchase a wig to help with transition, what do I look for besides style and if it fits me?

You look for one that's a nice style the compliments your face and color that compliments your complexion (sp). HTH

ETA: Also you want to get one with a length you can deal with, some people don't like long wigs, some do... so try on a few and see what you like. They'll probably make you buy a wig cap for a dollar and you can try on some. Also, don't think you have to pay an arm and a leg either. They have nice synthetic wigs that cost $20-$25 that are VERY nice.

Is human wigs better than synthetic is it a certain kind that lets your hair breath, do you get one with lining or what?

first i look for a certain name brand. I always love Freetress wigs. IMO they are the most natural looking wigs.

2nd i look for the color that will match me.

3rd which i dont have much problems because of my face shape, but i look for something that compliments my face shape.

synthetic wigs are just cheaper. I dont have any human hair wigs, because i know how i am with wigs so i rather just be cheap and get the synthetic wigs.

Not necessarily. I believe synthetic is better because it doesn't cost as much and they are just as nice style-wise. You want to get the most breathable one... one that looks like weave tracks together, not one with a net cap. The weather is getting warmer and wigs are hot if the cap part is not breathable.

Just make sure it compliments your face and complexion. I usually buy synthetic because they hold the style better/longer and they're cheaper.

ITA. IMO, every wig human or synthetic gets raggedy after regular usage at about the same rate. So it won't hurt as much when you have to throw away and replace a synthetic ($20-$25) wig as opposed to a human one ($80-$100)

ITA. I get nice synthetic wigs for around $25-29.99 plus tax. I always go for the human lookin texture. A lot of Freetress and Isis wigs are lovely IMO.
