How to style a wig for an evening out

One of the great advantages of a wig is that you can style it days before an event and have peace of mind that your hair is done exactly the way you want it.

Hair styling with wigs can feel like a journey into uncharted territory. A multitude of variables must be considered. But before you get there, first of all decide what type of look is it that you want?

This will guide all your next actions and choices, be it to opt for a synthetic or human hair wig, how to style your own hair under the wig and which hairstyling products you should use.

In general, synthetic hair wigs do not require as much styling as a human hair wig. The synthetic wig is made to retain its shape after it was washed and left to dry. So it goes without saying that if you choose a synthetic wig for that special night out, you can pretty much choose one of the many beautiful styles that are available and know you will not need to do much styling yourself.

The Lola Silk long body wave middle part lace synthetic wig in natural black is an excellent choice for an evening out. Approximately 28 inches in length, this body wave curly wig is constructed of LolaSilk smooth synthetic hair. Intricately handcrafted, the hand-made lace middle part provides a realistic hairline that blends seamlessly with any scalp. The hair on our synthetic wigs is a stunning imitation of healthy natural black human hair.

If you prefer your own touch to your styling efforts, a human hair wig is the natural choice. Human hair wigs can be styled in much the same as your natural hair but will need extra care when it comes to your choice of products and hairstyling tools.

A golden rule is to stick to products and tools that have specifically been designed for human hair wigs. A night out usually calls for a touch of glamour, elegance and sophistication. Key to the look is whether you will wear your wig up or down.

Do it up

A low chignon bun

To achieve this look, simply pull your hair back into a ponytail, twist it, and secure it with bobby pins and a ponytail holder. Before you arrange your wig's hair into a bun, carefully tease the hair at the wig's crown with a wide-tooth comb to give volume. Any long wig will do for this timeless look. Try the Lola Silk Brazilian hair straight 18 inch full frontal lace wig in natural black. The strands of hair are tied meticulously to make a precise duplicate of a natural hairline from ear to ear, from the top to the bottom of the head. When it comes to parting your hairline, frontal lace wigs provide you the freedom to do as you desire. All wigs include full caps that are naturally soft and comfortable to wear, allowing your scalp to breathe while still preserving your hair in its natural position.

A curly top

A gorgeous updo with a perm top will tell all you are ahead on the latest fashion curve. With loads of volume, yet short and sassy, this look will be noticed wherever you are. Make a reverse french braid or a french twist to conceal the length of your hair. Our Lola Silk Brazilian hair water wave 18 inch full frontal lace wig in natural black will work well to achieve this style. Virgin water wave Brazilian hair is used to create this wig, making it exceptionally smooth to the touch and incredibly easy to style. 

Keep it long

Soft and wavy

Long, wavy locks are an excellent low-key, uncomplicated yet sophisticated and softly elegant hairstyle option. Waves or extremely loose curls offer intrigue and complexity to your hairstyle while keeping things simple and straightforward.

Fringe pinned back

This look is easy to achieve because all you have to do is comb the hair from the front of the wig up and fix it with hair clips. It is recommended that you use a lace front wig for this style, although it looks fantastic on all hair lengths. Our Brazilian hair bob straight 14 inch full frontal wig in ombre burgundy will add some playfulness and fun to your obviously confident and life loving look.

Half up and half down

Put bobby pins in the back of your hair that have been teased. For this look, a monofilament lace front wig is recommended.
