Measuring Density in Wigs
A wig is so much more than just an accessory; for some people it can play a major role in the way they live their lives.
When talking about ‘density’ with regards to wigs, this means how thick or thin you want the hair on the wig to be. The standard (medium) wig density is 130%, but there is plenty of range to choose from.
Wig Densities:
50%-90%
Suitable for those with very thin and light hair who are looking for a realistic look to their wig. But keep in mind that these sorts of wigs will bald very quickly.
100%-110%
This is a fine density choice, and is ideal for those who have fine or thin hair and are looking to mimic the natural look they have.
120%-130%
These wigs represent the average density of human hair, and, as such, would be the ideal choice for most people. Neither too thick, nor too thin, it is the ideal choice for those with straight, medium hair.
150%
If you’re looking for hair that still looks natural but certainly has some added fullness to it, this is definitely the density that you’re going to want to go with.
180%
High-density wigs provide full volume hair, and, for best results, it is important that you use these wigs with longer hair.
200%
This extra heavy, super glam look is ideal for those looking to enhance their physical appearance and look more celebrity like.
How to Choose the Best Wig Density
Natural hair density
When trying to make the ideal wig choice, you need to assess the density of your own hair in the process.
Hair length
It’s also crucial to account for the length of your hair, and pick the density that best compliments this.
Personal choice
Make sure you focus on personal tastes, and try to make sure you buy a wig you are satisfied with as much as possible.
