Tips for Rockin' Fake Hair

You know she’s all about her rocking real hair, but when Tyra needs to give her locks a rest, she goes for fierce fake hair. Want to change up your hair for a day?  Not sure how to do it? Here are the top tips that you need to know to get a flawless faux hair look!

DO invest in quality hair. You don’t have to spend a fortune, but spending a few extra dollars can make all the difference in getting a more natural look.

DON’T wear a color that doesn’t look good with your skin. Your hair should compliment (not contrast) your skin-tone.

DO dab concealer or foundation on the part in the wig to mimic your own scalp color.

DON’T go crazy with extensions.  Taking them in and out too often can damage your real hair. Stick with clip-in hair for minimal damage.

DO use a dry shampoo to dull a fake hair shine and add texture.
