How to Pick the Ideal Wig Density for a Natural Finish
This guide will show you how to pick the ideal wig density for a natural finish using our company’s specific density definitions. As a salon owner, wholesaler, or retailer in the black hair/wig sector, understanding our density scale is crucial for sourcing raw hair or applying lace wigs that meet your clients’ expectations. By following these steps, you’ll ensure your clients receive high-quality wigs with a natural look, enhancing satisfaction and boosting your business reputation.
Step 1: Understanding Wig Density Levels
Wig density refers to the thickness of hair on a wig, measured by the number of strands per square inch. However, it’s important to note that the percentage scale used to describe density can vary significantly between manufacturers. In this guide, we’ll use our company’s density definitions:
- 200%: Medium density, providing a natural, everyday look that mimics average hair thickness.
- 250%: Full density, offering a voluminous appearance suitable for those desiring more fullness.
- 300%: Extra full density, ideal for dramatic styles or maximum volume.
These percentages are unique to our company and may not align with those used by other manufacturers. When comparing wigs across different suppliers, always refer to the specific density descriptions provided.
Step 2: How Wig Density Affects the Natural Finish
The density of a wig significantly affects how natural it appears. Our medium density wigs at 200% are designed to replicate the thickness of natural hair, making them an excellent choice for a realistic finish. Higher densities, such as 250% and 300%, provide more volume but may look less natural, depending on the client’s preferences and features.
Hair texture also plays a role. For wigs with curly or coily textures, common in the black hair sector, a medium density (200%) often appears fuller than the same density in straight hair. Thus, for textured wigs, 200% density typically achieves a natural look without excessive volume.
Step 3: Assessing Client Needs for Wig Density
To select the appropriate wig density, consider these factors:
- Natural Hair Density: Match the wig density to the client’s own hair thickness when possible. Our medium density (200%) is a versatile choice for many clients.
- Face Shape and Features: Clients with round faces might prefer 250% density for balance, while those with angular features may opt for 200% density.
- Desired Style: For sleek, straight styles, 200% density offers a natural look; for voluminous curls, 250% density enhances the style.
- Lifestyle and Maintenance: Higher density wigs (250% or 300%) require more care. Ensure clients understand the maintenance involved.
For wholesalers or retailers, understanding these needs helps you stock wigs that appeal to a wide audience.
Step 4: Selecting the Ideal Wig Density
Using our density scale, choose a wig that aligns with the client’s needs. For a natural finish, recommend our medium density (200%) wigs. For clients seeking more volume, suggest full density (250%) options. Use visual aids or samples to show the differences between densities, helping clients make informed decisions.
Step 5: Sourcing Wigs with the Right Density
When sourcing raw hair or lace wigs, specify the exact density using our scale (e.g., 200% for medium density) when ordering. For bulk orders, confirm with the manufacturer that the densities match our definitions. Upon delivery, verify the density to ensure quality. This ensures your inventory delivers the natural finish clients expect.
Bonus Tip for Salon Owners
Educate clients about our density scale using examples or visual aids. Explain how our densities affect the look and feel, empowering them to choose the best option for their style.
