Kinky Edges Wig? What Looks Most Realistic!

Lace fronts made with kinky edges are the latest rave amongst wig enthusiasts.  The wigs are not kinky in texture but the hairline is designed to provide a textured edge line to the wearer.  Most of these "kinky edges" wigs do not possess hair that is uniform in texture.  The hair may be straight, curly or wavy and the hairline or baby hair will be described as "kinky edges."  The hairline on these types of wigs are not actually kinky but more so textured.  

Naturally kinky and afro textured wigs do not require kinky edges or a kinky baby hair line because the hair is all uniform and made to match the specific texture of the wig whether it be kinky or curly.

Kinky edges look best on wigs that are of a kinky straight texture and similar to how a natural hairline would look if straightened with a pressing comb.

These kinky edges are textured in nature and not actually kinky.  Kinky (not kinky curly) hair has the tightest curl pattern of hair.  One wouldn't need to have a separate hairline that's kinky because the entire wig is that texture.  The "kinky edges" look mostly applies to lace wigs that are not kinky in texture.

To receive a true kinky hair line, one would need purchase a full kinky or afro textured wig.  People with naturally kinky or afro textures do not have a separate "kinky edge" line like these wigs display.

Many of the wigs labelled as having "kinky edges" do not look realistic as people with naturally kinky and curly hair do not have edges or a hair line that looks this way.  Individuals with natural kinky and afro hair have a hairline that looks like the two photos below.

The edge line of a wig should be uniform with the texture of the wig's hair.  If you're a wig wearer and interested in wigs with kinky edges, one rule of thumb to remember is that curly hair should have curly edges, kinky hair should have kinky edges and straight hair should have straight edges.  There shouldn't be a visible line of demarcation separating the hairline from the rest of the hair.  If the hairline has a noticeably different texture from the rest of the hair, it will look the least realistic.

The only lace option that kinky edges look the most realistic on is the kinky straight wig. Other straight wigs do look a bit odd with "kinky edges." After all, if desiring kinky edges, why not wear kinky hair?!

If you have specific preferences about wigs and desire kinky wigs, almost all of our wigs are naturally kinky or afro textured so they'll  have roots or edges that match the texture's hairline. Not only that, our crochet and non-lace kinky and afro wigs allow the wearer the option to leave their own hairline out if desired.

Spotlight on: Muni Long

Some of you may know this talented singer and songwriter as Priscilla Renea as the artist would regularly perform using her birthname.  Muni Long had worked in the industry for over 10 years behind the scenes as a songwriter before she decided to reinvent herself.  She wanted a fresh slate and to also be able to garner the same feeling that an unknown artist has before they break out with a number one hit.   Recently on the Jennifer Hudson show, Muni Long provided further explanation surrounding her name change.  She read about an ancient Indian sage named Muni.  Sages are individuals who come to understand the reasons behind existence through self-realization.  Muni discussed the name she saw with her husband, and with his encouragement, he suggested that it be pronounced as “money.” In the interview, Muni Long stated that it was also an affirmation for her and a play on words.  She wanted her money to be long!  It certainly worked!
