Elevate Your Style with The Wig Company Wigs

The excitement of the Paris Olympics has not only captured our attention but also inspired trends in fashion and beauty. Just like athletes aiming for gold, you can achieve a medal-worthy look with wigs from The Wig Company. Here’s how you can elevate your everyday style with these stunning wigs.

THE ALLURE OF OLYMPIC HAIRSTYLES



Trendsetting Athletes


Olympic athletes often set the bar for fashion and hairstyles. From sleek ponytails to intricate braids, their looks are admired and emulated worldwide. Athletes like Allyson Felix and Simone Biles not only inspire us with their performances but also with their impeccable style.



Celebrity Influence


Athletes' hairstyles influence everyday fashion, making it easy to see why wigs have become a popular choice for those wanting to replicate these looks. For instance, Naomi Osaka's colorful braids have inspired many to experiment with bold, vibrant hairstyles.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WIG


Wig Types


  • Synthetic Wigs: Durable and low maintenance. These wigs hold their style even after washing, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
  • Human Hair Wigs: Offer a natural look and feel with the versatility to be styled just like natural hair. Perfect for those who want to change their hairstyle frequently.
  • Lace Front Wigs: Provide a natural hairline and superior ventilation, making them comfortable for extended wear.


Selecting Styles


Choosing the right style is crucial. If you love the sleek, polished look of gymnasts, opt for straight, shoulder-length wigs. If you're inspired by the voluminous curls of track athletes, go for wigs with soft waves or loose curls.

STYLING TIPS FOR A MEDAL-WORTHY LOOK 


Volume and Texture


Adding volume and texture can make a huge difference. Use texturizing sprays and volumizing mousses to add body to your wigs. Tease the roots gently to create a fuller look.



Updos and Braids


Updos and braids are not only stylish but also practical for an active lifestyle. Here’s a step-by-step guide for an elegant updo:


  1. Gather the wig or extension into a high ponytail.
  2. Twist the ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins.
  3. Pull out a few strands around the face for a softer look. For sporty braids, try a double Dutch braid or a fishtail braid to keep your hair secure and stylish.

Color and Shine


Maintaining vibrant color and healthy shine in wigs is essential. Use color-protecting shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for wigs. Regularly apply a shine serum to keep your wig looking glossy and fresh.

MAINTAINING YOUR WINNING LOOK


Care Tips


Daily maintenance is key to keeping your wigs looking fresh and stylish. Here are some tips:


  • Brushing : Use a wig brush to gently detangle the hair. Start from the ends and work your way up to prevent breakage.
  • Washing : Wash your wig every 10-15 wears using a wig-specific shampoo and conditioner. Avoid using regular hair products as they can damage the fibers.
  • Storage : Store your wig on a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Keep it away from direct sunlight and dust.
