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.

Ice Spice has always sported a signature curly afro reminiscent of a ginger h...

FDA To Ban Relaxers Next Month As Cancer Link is Revealed

Almost 90% of black women have used a chemical relaxer at some point in their lives; many of whom began using it as children.  Usage of chemical relaxers has posed significant risks to the health of minority women. Women who use chemical relaxers are often unaware of the health conditions that they can introduce.  They have been clinically linked to reproductive disorders, infertility, cancer and other diseases.   A reporter for the New York Times, Linda Villarosa, spent a significant amount of time gathering facts about the health crisis surrounding chemical relaxers.  Through a lens similar to one idealized by black female epidemiologists, Villarosa discovered the well-researched link between the frequent usage of chemical relaxers and uterine cancer in black women.  These chemically-laced relaxers contain ingredients that act as endocrine disrupters which lead to early puberty and cancer in black women. Chemical relaxers have always been aggressively ma...
