Wigs aren’t just for the long-haired girlies out there, all us short haired gals can equally join in on the fun! With wigs brewing up a storm in fashion society, it’s natural that all the fashionistas out there will want to jump on the trend.
But while the tailor image of wigs that comes to mind are long, flowing tresses in every color from auburn to black to metallic to pink, there’s a certain part of the wig kingdom reserved for a more seldomly spoken of but much-loved type of wig: bob wig.

Make the Right Purchase
While this isn’t exactly part of the application process, it is going to affect it – big time! It’s no secret that buying a wig is going to make a dent in your bank account, but the size of the dent you make is going to directly impact the overall look you achieve.
There’s no need to go high-end and buy the most expensive bob wigs out there, but it is generally a better idea to opt for human hair bob wigs over synthetic ones. Simply put, this is because the former will help you achieve a more natural look.
But if you can’t go for a natural hair bob wig then there’s no reason to sweat it. Synthetic ones have their own upside and will hold whatever hairstyle you arrange them in for longer, usually throughout the entire day.

Clean, Clean, Clean!
So, you’ve finally found a bob wig that’s just right for you. Congratulations! But now you’ve got to clean it before you wear it!
First things first, take a wide toothed comb or paddle brush and use it to detangle any knots in the wig. Once you’re through with that, then it’s time to take your wig through a thorough shampoo and conditioning, letting it airdry on a wig stand until done. Of course, make sure to only use shampoo and conditioner that is safe for use on wigs to prevent damages and achieve best results!
