Good to know about wigs

​​

A wig seen in a drag show is seldom directly unpacked from its packaging. It takes a lot of styling and often cutting before the wigs are just as desired. First and foremost, it is recommended to rinse out the wigs and possibly. treatment agents that may be in a new wig. Backcombing a wig gives a full hairstyle but also an illusion of a smaller face, which suits a drag queen just fine. Curls / shapes are made with low heat (if the wig is heat resistant) with tools or with warming steam. Use hair spray and spray spray and spray, puts the hairstyle in place. Here you should not underestimate an affordable and "sticky" hair spray from the ordinary supermarket. NOTE! Do not forget to rinse out the wig every now and then.

What wig variants are there?

​​

The "latest" in the wig market are lace wigs. In other words, wigs with a thin tulle cap at the hairline, where each strand of hair is tied in the tulle. This gives the illusion that the hairs grow directly from the scalp and also gives the opportunity to do set or laid hairstyles. "Ordinary" hard-front wigs are harder to get nowadays. Often the material on a modern wig is of a fine heat-resistant synthetic material. For those who want a 100% credible illusion, one can of course afford a wig of real hair.
