Now that wigs have become a fashionable item and can be easily purchased, the number of wig options has increased.
However, it is still difficult to find a wig that meets the three key requirements: the ideal color, the ideal form, and the ideal length.
One effective solution is to “cut the wig.
Absolutely safe! If you want to cut a wig you don’t want to fail.
For those who “never want to make a mistake” and “don’t care if it costs a lot of money, I want my hair to look exactly the way I want it,” it is safe to ask a hair salon to do the job.
There are surprisingly few beauty salons that offer wig cutting on their menus, but everyone practices with wigs before becoming a licensed beautician. Therefore, there are many beauty salons that will accept your request if you inquire. Since you are dealing with professionals, of course it will be done beautifully.
However, you should be a little careful about the price.
Although there are differences among beauty salons, the market price for a wig cut is around 4,000 to 10,000 yen. Compared to the current market, where a cheap wig can be purchased for around 3,000 yen, this price seems quite expensive.
This method is effective if the wig itself is expensive, such as medical wigs, but in other cases, you should consider cutting it yourself.
I’ll cut it myself! I want to know how to do it.
- Blocking the hair
Pull hair up and secure with an elastic or clip - Pinch the inner part of the hair between your fingers.
Align your index and middle fingers straight down to the length you want to cut.
Cut off the hair by inserting the scissors in a manner similar to your fingers.
Instead of gripping the hair tightly, insert the scissors as if you were holding the hair between your fingers, so that the scissors do not clatter.
It may take a little time, but you can proceed to cut the hair little by little in this way.
Cut from the underside of the hair.
Do not lift the hair up or pull it out at an angle, but comb it naturally to the fall position and pinch it gently.
Never grab the hair and cut between two fingers.
These two points are the most important.
If you find that you cannot cut well even with this method, you can avoid mistakes by placing a piece of duct tape straight across the hair and cutting along it. It is also a good idea to moisten the wig at that time.
Cutting wigs is a difficult task until you get used to it. If you have an old wig that you no longer use, you can practice with it!
