5 Easy Ways to Create a Natural-Looking Hairline on a Synthetic Wig

Do cheap wigs look cheap because of their poor-quality hair? Not necessarily. In fact, many high-quality synthetic wigs use the same fibers as human hair wigs. So what gives away a cheap wig?

It's all in the hairline.

A wig with a natural-looking hairline will blend seamlessly with your skin, creating the illusion that it's your own hair. A wig with an unnatural-looking hairline will look fake and obvious.

Here are five easy ways to make the hairline on a cheap wig look real:

1. Pluck the hairline.

This is the single most important thing you can do to make a wig look more natural. Use a pair of tweezers to pluck out individual hairs along the front of the wig, creating a soft, feathered edge.

2. Use a root touch-up spray.

A root touch-up spray can help to blend the wig's hair with your own hair, creating a more natural look. Simply spray the root touch-up spray along the hairline, and then brush it through.

3. Apply a bit of baby powder.

Baby powder can help to absorb excess shine from the wig's hair, making it look more natural. Simply apply a small amount of baby powder to the hairline, and then brush it through.

4. Use a lace front wig.

Lace front wigs have a thin layer of lace along the hairline, which creates a more natural look than a traditional wig. Lace front wigs are more expensive than traditional wigs, but they are worth the investment if you want a wig that looks as natural as possible.

5. Get a custom wig.

A custom wig is made to fit your head perfectly, and it will have a natural-looking hairline. Custom wigs are more expensive than stock wigs, but they are the best option if you want a wig that looks and feels like your own hair.
