How to Buy Your Crossdressing Wig

• Avoid common mistakes made by beginners
• Choose your first wigs

• Do buy quality styling over hair quality - There's no way a beginner understands exactly what style and coloring will look best on her. Most beginners are a bit too focused on buying a very high quality wig to enhance their look for passing. The result? They wear a high quality wig that just lays there - as they know nothing of keeping it styled. Guess what else? An improperly styled wig - that's marginally suited to accentuate your best features - is one of the most blatantly obvious tell-tale signals of a man in a dress. We'll cover high quality wigs in the next section. However, in your beginning - I want you to steer clear of buying them. I want you to focus on investing your money in wigs that are already fully-styled. This will teach you to learn the impact of hair styles on your face - and allow you to more affordably test hair coloring as you search for your best signature look.

• Do buy from knowledgeable vendors -  While most any wig vendor will be knowledgeable in wigs, few vendors understand the particulars of selecting the ideal wig to transform a male into a lovely lass. For instance, generally speaking - most transgender girls do best with hair that includes bangs in order to soften our masculine brows. However, it takes the right style of bangs - to accomplish this feat. Likewise, larger heads are a common problem. There's nothing worse than a small wig that gives you a migraine with each wearing. Selecting the proper size, style and cut - is essential to us special gals. Our faces are often shaped considerably different from our female counterparts. We need a wig ideally shaped to illuminate our most feminine features while hiding those manly traits. That requires some experience. I’m including links to a couple of vendors ideally suited to new girls & they ship anywhere. They're excellent to start. If you are new to wigs, remember this...the first few times you put one on - you'll likely just see yourself in a wig - not the woman in the mirror. This is a natural reaction akin to when someone first loses a limb. Soon afterwards, you'll begin to no longer see the guy in the wig - but the beautiful woman wearing it!
• Do buy natural looking colors - Most women's hair isn't a single color. Rather, it's a mixture of coloring. This sort of look is what we call natural. Today's wigs are available with streaks of varied colors to enhance this accepted appearance. For your first wig...try these mixed tones with an auburn or brown - as a base color. Try to steer clear of stark solid colors until you become more skilled with make-up. It's much easier...and you'll look lots better. ((hugs)) 

• Do buy synthetic hair - The differences...appearance wise - between human hair wigs and a decent synthetic piece are minimal in the short term. Only a trained hair care professional can spot the difference.  Human hair lasts much longer. Properly styled - looks as realistic as any mane of real hair. Unfortunately, it also requires far greater skill with styling & care to look right. Synthetic hair is much easier to style. The artificial polymers hold shape - like sculpting clay. I suggest you wait on human wigs until you’re a little further in your journey.
  Did you know that modern hair-styling techniques were born from damaged hair? Before the advent of peroxide blondes, very few women owned a head of hair thick enough to retain modern styling. In fact, fine human hair is the worst challenge for any hair stylist. 
  Why would you pay big bucks for something that's a nightmare: to style? You wouldn't - unless you always wear your hair down and you wear it each and every day. Thus, I'd suggest any beginner lean exclusively towards synthetic hair.
  Best of all? It's cheaper!
