How to Renew Your Old Wigs?
Have you got an old wig sitting in your collection that you don't wear anymore? Before you think about replacing it, it might just need a little revamp.
Over time, wigs can start to look tired, the lace can become damaged, colour can fade, and the hair may lose some of its softness and shine. The good news is that you don't always need a brand-new wig. With the right treatment, your old unit can be refreshed and give a new wig feel.
Here are 4 ways you can revamp your old wig:
1. Lace Replacement
The lace is one of the first things that can show signs of wear, especially if your wig has been installed and worn regularly.
If your lace is damaged, thinning, or no longer giving you the finish you want, replacing it can make a big difference. A new lace can give your wig a fresh and clean appearance.
If the bundles are still in good condition, a lace replacement could be all your wig needs.
2. Refresh or Change the Colour
Sometimes all your wig needs is a little colour refresh.
If your current colour has faded, a colour top-up can help bring it back to life. Or, if you're ready for a completely different look, you could change the colour altogether to make an old unit feel completely new again.
Just remember that the condition and quality of the hair will determine whether it can take colour, so it's always best to have this assessed before booking a colour service.
3. Deep Wig Treatment
Regular styling, heat and general wear can leave your wig feeling dry, tangled or lacking its original softness.
A deep repair treatment can help restore moisture and improve the overall feel and manageability of the hair. Treatments such as conditioning masks and steam treatments can be a great option when your wig needs some extra care.
If your wig is looking a little tired but the hair is still in good condition, a deep treatment could be just what it needs.
4. Lace Ventilation
Has your lace developed bald patches or become sparse around the hairline or parting?
Lace ventilation can help restore these areas by adding individual hairs back into the lace. This can improve the fullness of your wig and help bring the lace back to life without replacing the entire unit.
The amount of ventilation needed will depend on the size and condition of the area. If the patch is larger, it may be better to replace the lace entirely.
