Party season is officially upon us, meaning the countdown to Christmas can really begin. Whether your company is treating you to a swanky meal or an outside-of-the-box team building event, you’ll want to look the part during the season of sparkle. One way to do just that is by styling from the head down with a funky and unforgettable ‘do.
Contrary to popular belief, even wig wearers can experiment with their looks courtesy of the versatile designs we stock here at Wigs4u. While we wouldn’t recommend styling synthetic wigs into updos – adding braids and ponytails can dramatically increase fibre friction and negatively impact the longevity of the wig – human hair wig wearers can be as creative as they like!
Read on to discover the quick, human hair wig friendly updos that’ll get your look Christmas party ready.
Make your bun extra elegant by throwing a bit of braiding into the mix. The fishtail is a signature look for longer length human hair wigs and can be twisted with ease into a bun to create a showstopping look that’s perfect for party season.
Unsure how to do a fishtail plait? It’s easier than you think! Just take this advice from All Things Hair:
“Part your hair into a deep side part and gather it all to your preferred side. Separate it into two sections and begin crossing one smaller section from one side over into the other. Be sure to pull each added section firmly before moving to the other side… Continue braiding until you get to the bottom of your hair and secure the fishtail braid with a hair tie.”
The humble three-strand braid can be just as beautiful, and when it comes to making your updo as natural as possible, it’s a case of the messier, the better if you have a long human hair wig or layered look. Creating a messy plait is so easy and looks particularly stylish.
Ponytails are an option for human hair wig wearers too, and offer fantastic coverage and a sleek finish when worn low.
Give your usual everyday ponytail extra pizzazz by making bubbles. Simply, secure in a smooth, low ponytail first, then add hair bands every few inches, tugging each section as you go to create your bubbles. Check out these bubble ponytail ideas for more inspiration.
The half-up, half-down is a favourite amongst human hair wig wearers with varying styles and lengths, including those looking for great updos for short hair. Whatever the length of your mane, this classic and incredibly quick updo will be a great option that’ll make your wig look natural, beautiful and party ready.
Known officially as the ‘Gibson tuck’, this updo is a classically beautiful style that’s popular for formal and informal events. It’s also great for human hair wig wearers and can be done in minutes!
Just tie your hair into a low ponytail, creating an opening above the hair band. Thread the ponytail through this hole and twist the hair up. Gather any loose hair into the twist before pinning up. Flexi clips work best with this style. While bobby pins can also be used if you want to go accessory free.
This vintage updo is a fantastic and feminine style, just be sure to finish with a wig-friendly hairspray to set your look and keep it secure whatever the winter weather throws at you!
