It can be overwhelming and tedious to seek a hairstyle that fits your needs. You might say that your dream hairstyle is one of bulked-up realism, getting the look day after day without needing to keep you locked in the bathroom for hours taking care of it. If you’ve been dreaming of an effortless way to upgrade your style, these two recent wig advances C part wigs and layered wigs are changing the beautiful game.
In this explainer, we will investigate what sets each of these styles apart and makes them look natural so you can choose the one that’s right for your aesthetic.
What Are C Part Wigs?
A C part wig features a C curve, which, in layman’s terms, means the hair around the cap is parted to one side or the other, but not in the middle. This subtle C-parting is important because it mimics the natural look of hair that has fallen to one side. Because a straight part can look bare or telltale, C shapes make the hairline look more natural.
What Are Layered Wigs?
Wigs may be constructed with hair of any length. “Layers,” in construction parlance, provide movement and texture. Conversely, it can be cut blunt and left all one length.
Why Choose C Parts and Layered Wigs?
Combining the flowing density of layers and realistic hairline of a C part, you get a powerhouse wig that checks all the boxes. It’s what makes the blend so popular with stylists and wig wearers.
Natural Appearance
One of the most obvious wig indicators is a thick, unrealistic-looking hairline or letdown stiffy look that doesn’t blend in. C-part hairline issues are solved by the realistic curve, which mimics the natural scalp. The layered wig looks more realistic and natural, just like growing hair from the head instead of having a uniform hairstyle.
Comfortable Fit
Such wigs are also able to be worn freely, and provide users with comfort. The construction is airier, and because the layers remove excess weight, the wig will be lighter on your head. It’s comfortable enough to wear every day, and effectively, it copes with fatigue and tension of your head, relieving headaches from thick wigs.
The Joy of Wigs: How to Find an Ideal Wig
The wigs are not the same quality. Before you buy, consider these factors to look fabulous.
Think about what you want the outcome of your looks to be. Do you like the romance of body waves with hair? Layered wigs, C part wigs, these are available in different textures and styles.
Staying true to your natural hair color (regardless of whether it is a shade lighter or darker) is perfect as you will look like yourself, but dressed up, in real life. In real life, to look like you the best is to keep your normal hair color. Deep layers with highlights or balayage are amazing as they can make a statement through the interplay of colors and create contrast, which makes the depth of the cut shine.
Consider Length and Layers
Think about the shape of your face.
- Round faces: Longer layers below the chin to lengthen the face.
- Square faces: You’ll want to soften harsher features by using soft, high, thin layers hitting around the jawline.
- Oval faces: Just about all lengths are workable; a cut with layers at the mid-length is flattering.
Weigh the cover with your hand. Some wigs have a mixture of layers, some have back layers that are choppy and separate for a more of a shaggy rock and roll feel.
Examine The Build and Gauge The Size Of The Cap
The most gorgeous wig can come across a hideous mess if it is just sitting on top of your head.
- Circumference: Take a profile measurement that should be taken in the greater occipital bone slightly above the ear.
- Measure the width of the hairline across the nape of the neck.
How to Style It So It Stays in All Day
Once you have your C-part layered wig, all you have to do is maintain it.
Daily Maintenance And Styling
- Styling: For brushing use a wig brush, for combing, use a wig comb; for styling use fingers or pick comb with long wide teeth. Brush from ends to roots, not the other way around, to prevent breakage.
- STORAGE: Your wig should ideally be stored on a mannequin head or wig stand. It is to keep the C part in shape and hold layers so that they won’t collapse.
- Shampooing: Wet your wig in cool water before washing. You should also shampoo and condition your wig with sulfate-free products after 10 to 15 wears.
Embracing Your New Style
And there’s nothing like a new hair to gain a fresh outlook. C part wigs and layered wigs are the perfect mix of fashion and comfort, and chic enough for all occasions! These wigs give a wiggle and shake hairstyle with side-swept bangs and a classic, flirty, short sweep of long layers across the forehead.
