Women change clothes, shoes, and makeup daily, so why not change your hair? Modern wigs are becoming more and more natural. The fairer sex deserve to feel beautiful and confident every day. Wigs give them this great opportunity. And if for some this item is a fun and original accessory, for others it is a vital necessity, do not forget about it.
Kanekalon Wig
This material is a type of artificial hair that mimics natural hair very well. Sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference at a glance. In the production of Kanekalon, seaweed extracts are even used.
The birthplace of this fiber is Japan. The most attractive aspect of synthetic hair is that it can often be worn “right out of the box”, with virtually no styling. Kanekalon has a peculiar “memory”, preserving waves and curls, which allows the wig not to lose shape and care for it with minimal effort.
The material withstands bad weather well, curls do not change their volume. In terms of benefits, Kanekalon wigs are very lightweight. Combing them is easy, they are almost not tangled. Another plus - they are available in fantastic colors - from natural to trendy shades. In addition, these wigs are soft to the touch and completely hypoallergenic. An important detail that speaks in their favor is an affordable price.
Of course, synthetic wigs also have their drawbacks. Nothing beats natural hair. Synthetic fibers are not heat treatable to change the structure of the curl. They, of course, are less durable than natural ones. With proper care, you can expect the wigs to last about six months. The limited versatility of synthetic hair becomes less important when it comes to accessibility. With Kanekalon wigs, you can have a huge variety of styles and looks at hand.
There are many secrets that a person who has never worn a wig does not even think about. But if you have already decided to purchase it, it is worth exploring the matter thoroughly.
How to wear a wig
The first thing to do is prepare the hair on the head. If the strands are short - just remove them from the face and stab. If they are long - you need to twist them with small curls and secure with clamps over the entire surface.
Then you need to tilt your head forward, while holding the wig at the back of the head (where the label is) with both hands. Position the front of the product over the eyebrows, then put it on. Finally, carefully look at yourself in the mirror and straighten the wig, if necessary.
The wig from Kanekalon does not require special care. In order for it to remain voluminous and brilliant, it is necessary to adhere to some rules.
How to wash a product
Even synthetic materials tend to get dirty.
We clean the wig from Kanekalon correctly:
- Before washing, gently comb the strands with a comb or brush.
- Add some shampoo to a container filled with cold water. Immerse the wig there for 1-2 minutes. Do not rub, but only gently hold all parts of the product with your hands, removing dirt. Care must be taken, especially at the fiber attachment points.
- Rinse the shampoo with cold water until the detergent is completely removed.
- Apply a small amount of wig conditioner to your hands and pass through the hair, evenly distributing the substance. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Squeezing and twisting the product is not recommended. It is necessary to pat it dry with a folded towel and let it dry naturally by putting it on a blank.
Customer reviews
Reviews about wigs from Kanekalon consumers leave mostly positive. Women like a variety of hairstyles for short models and a color palette.
Many note that these products are neat, in appearance very similar to natural hair. It’s easy to care for them, the form is not lost with time.
Negative opinions are mainly related to the purchase of inexpensive products of low quality.
What is impossible and what is possible?
A kanekalon wig does not tolerate strong heat, so do not use curling irons, straighteners, hot curlers or hair dryers for laying strands. There are special care products for synthetic wigs.
Conventional human hair products for a Kanekalon wig are contraindicated, as this will shorten its service life. In those periods when the product is not used, it must be stored on a mannequin or gently suspended in a designated place.
