Staying beautiful and confident during these times can be trying. Millions of people are jobless due to the pandemic. So many of us don’t have a lot of disposable income at the moment. So instead of spending hundreds of dollars on things like wigs. People are looking for cheaper alternatives. So buying a cheap amazon wig might just be the key to your beauty on a budget answer.

Now I know you might be weary of this option. But trust, if you know what you’re doing you can make it work. Many people have already tried this option. But if you haven’t yet let me show you how.

Buying The Hair

Okay, so in our urban beauty world, there are two different kinds of cheap wigs that you can buy. You can choose between a synthetic curly wig or spend a little bit more money and buy a straight human hair wig. Both options have their pros and cons. It really just depends on what you’re comfortable with. The curly wigs are easier for my people who rarely wear wigs or for those who prefer a natural look. The straight wigs are for the more skilled wig wearers because while it will last longer, styling it is much harder.

The Synthetic Curly Option

You can get a cheap curly wig for under $30 from Amazon. If you take care of it, this wig will last you a good month. When shopping for this type of wig, It’s best that you look for body rather than length. A longer synthetic wig can look cheap. And we don’t want that. Now chances are once you get the wig you might look like Rick James when you try it on. But don’t send the wig back based on this! This is where the magic happens.

You may need to get a little scissor happy to cut it to your liking. The most important part is to cut the wig going downward so that it’s not choppy. And if you have a small head like mine. Make sure to shape your face so you don’t look like a poodle. And that’s it! This option is great if you don’t know how to install a lace front wig just yet.

The Straight Lacefront Option

Now if you want to go with straight or wavy hair. I suggest going with this option. You can buy a human hair lace front wig on Amazon for under $100. This is a lot cheaper in comparison to spending $300+. The only difference is that the wig is not customized to the size of your head. It won’t come with a band like the more expensive options. And while it will last a lot longer than the curly wig, it won’t last as long as the more expensive options. It also requires a lot more styling.

By styling, I mean that you will have to do a lot of plucking to make the part and the hairline look more natural. And depending on the wig, you might have to cut some more baby hairs. But be careful when doing this. If you’re good at installing wigs this will be a piece of cake. If not, there’s always time to learn. I suggest watching a Youtube Video. There are so many reviews and how to’s. You should learn in no time.

Conclusion

The point is you can be cute without spending a fortune. Do a good job and no one will even care how much you paid. Since wigs have become a trend, there’s been this pressure on women to spend as much as they can to say they have the best quality. By all means, if you got it like that then it is what it is. But the truth is sometimes you don’t got’ it like that. And that money can be better invested in your future. But hey if you’re into wigs, you might decide that your hair needs a break. There’s nothing wrong with rocking those natural locks of yours. And if you’re not into wigs, there’s nothing wrong with trying something new.
