Wig Word of the Day: 3/4 Wig

There are many different terms used in wig making and styling. Here's one to get you started :

A type of wig that is meant to sit a few inches back from the wearer's hairline. The front of the wearer's own hair is then brushed back over the front of the wig in order to conceal the edge and make the wig look natural.  3/4 wigs looks great if they are a color match to the wearer's own hair color.



This is what the inside of a 3/4 Wig looks like:

Here are some examples of HORRIBLE 3/4 Wig applications:

Just wrong on so many levels. Wearer needs her hair along the hair line to cover and conceal the wig's hard front . ( and the fact that she looks little worn out doesn't help lol)

Textures DONOT match and the wig is brown and her hair is black.  Color dose not blend well at all 

A huge NO NO!. Natural hair is to thin and to short and it DOSE NOT blend AT ALL

The wearer's natural hair should have been set to a tight curl .
 The straight dark hair DOSE NOT blend with this curly wig

Now here is a really cute 3/4 Wig. I love this look

This is made with the black headband attached to it.
You can wear your own bangs in the front OR simply add a clip-in bang

This is a 3/4 Wig I made for a photo shoot a few years ago
