Four Methods for Saving Money With Lace Wigs

By Melissa Etheridge

1. Styling is really costly. A jaunt to the salon suggests a minimum of $55 these days, especially if you want to do the hard stuff. Thinking about a drastic change to your hair? You're pretty much looking at a minimum of $85. Extras like extensions can push it all even higher.

With top quality lace wigs, however, you have none of those problems. Once you've figured out the (basic) learning curve of learning how to wear the wig, you can switch your hair at any moment you desire, with no costs after your initial, one time payment.

2. It's heavy on your hairstyle. Ok, we've got a load of hair, and it's not all precisely a living part of us like, I don't know, our skin could be, but think about it -- our hair is rather fragile. Using the hair salon every 4 weeks for a rough treatment isn't so wise -- even your hair stylist will tell you this.

Since a great lace wig is made from hair that doesn't belong to you, you've got nothing to be worried over. And it comes already sporting a style (depending on what kind of wig you order), so there's no terrible chance of you wrecking the hair, since you don't need to subject it to the same vigorous treatment as your natural hair.

3. It's tough on one's scalp, too. We occasionally forget about our scalp, often because -- unless we razor our heads -- we don't tend to see it too much. But it's still there, a complete layer of our skin like any other, only having hundreds of fragile hair follicles.

Using a lace wig, your scalp is untouched. You can happily switch among highly different hairstyles without worrying over any theoretical issues. And provided you don't keep your wig on all the time -- which is easy, because you don't need to sleep in it, regardless -- the top layer of your scalp will always be able to breathe without a problem.

4. There's a limit to what you can alter. Regardless of the serious changes possible at the hair dresser, there's only so much any of us can do when it comes to our hair. Alright, we can dye it, chop it off, and modify it tremendously -- but in the end, it's still our hair and contains our characteristics.

This isn't the case with lace wigs -- there's truly no ceiling to how flamboyant you can become. Your head can go through the most heavy color and style alterations during the course of a few days, and still have free time left over for another huge change.
