If you are looking for braided wigs, you must have been confused by the numerous choices available – synthetic wigs, human hair wigs, and everything in between. But come on, the dream is to find a wig that looks like it is sprouting from your head, right?
As someone who's been rocking the braids for years, I’ve had my fair share of trial and error in achieving the perfect blend of style and realism. Well, I’m here to tell you all about the braided wigs that are going to leave people doing a double take.
Box Braided Wigs: The Classic That Can Fool ‘Em
Now, I may be a bit bias, but in my opinion, a good box braid wig is one of the most realistic wigs out there, the uniform pattern of the braid, and the ability to wear anything from a chic bob to a long, flowing goddess tresses, makes box braid wigs a no brainer.
The best thing is to look for a wig that has a scalp and hair that is as close to your own hair type as possible I have used HD lace box braided wigs and the lace is almost invisible against the skin and the braids are so luxurious.
HD Lace Braided Wigs: The Peak of Realism
Talking about HD lace, these are the real McCoy when it comes to natural looking braided wigs. The lace base is sheer and very thin, making it blend with the skin, thus making it look as if the braid starts from the scalp.
However, it is not only the lace that makes these wigs to appear so natural but the quality of the hair used is excellent. I’m referring to hair that is as soft as silk and can be styled to glide and bounce as you would want your natural hair to. If you like box braids, micro braids, or cornrows, an HD lace wig is a must-have in your collection.
Headband Braid Wigs: The Effortless Solution
Finally, we have headband braided wigs as the last type of wigs that are available in the market today. Well, now you must be wondering how a wig with a clear line of demarcation can look natural? But let me explain, these babies can be quite realistic when executed to the letter.
The most important thing is to get a headband wig with a clean and invisible part and good quality braid hair. The headband itself is a camouflage; people’s focus is shifted from the perimeter to the beautiful, cascading braids. It is a very simple and does not require much attention and can actually look like the real thing.
The Bottom Line
All in all, the most natural looking braided wigs are the ones that are made with a lot of care and the best materials. No matter what your preference is, box braids, HD lace, headband styles, do your homework, spend your money wisely and don’t be shy to get your hands dirty when styling.
I assure you it is well deserved when you are in a wig that leaves people with their eyes opened wide. Happy styling, my friends!
