4.) Natural and afro textures should never be thought of as taboo. Be comfortable wearing your natural texture.  If experimenting with wigs and weaves, try all the different textures whether curly, afro, coily or kinky curly! Check them all out on the site !


5.) Wigs can serve a variety of purposes.  They can be worn for special occasions or for general hair replacement purposes. Some individuals wear them strictly for religious purposes. They are perfect protective styles and can help aid hair growth.  Wigs have even saved women from instances of harm:   Wigs are Saving Women?

6.) Don't neglect the hair and scalp underneath wigs and weaves.  Hair health is important and it should be maintained.  Always keep your healthy hair regimen going even if you only wear wigs.  


7.) The glue you wear matters.  Gluing wigs down isn't necessary if a person doesn't engage in extreme movement activities.  There is a ton of security in wig combs or bands but if you do wear adhesives stick with those that offer nourishing ingredients for the skin.  Ex: Bold Hold Lace Jelly $10.99 (6oz) or Shea Moisture Bonding Glue Hair Cream $5.99 (6.3oz) Essence Wigs offers lots of glueless options so you can throw that glue away!



8.) The best route to experiment with color is through wigs! You will have absolutely zero hair damage. We've got all the color options and styles. See them all at Essencewigs.com
