Yes, Tis the season for some to be extremely busy and wearing alternative hair is a great go to when dressing to impress is a must for the company business holiday dinner, or how about dashing about purchasing gifts and then there is the holiday brunch with some friends, not to mention all the parties, plays and parades to attend; with alternative hair you will never miss a beat, you’ll be exhausted yes, but even more so, you will be confident, extremely fabulous and ready to go.
Alternative Hair Holiday Time Saving Tips
* Select the alternative hair style that compliments your ensemble and group it collectively well before your event(s): coordinating outfit, shoes, purse, jewelry and wig. Check
* If you plan on dancing the night away, opt for a short style or pin-up your longer selection using a beautiful hair clasp, think cool and cute and dance.
* Having two selections that are identical, will give you more flexibility. You can wear one while the other is being washed, conditioned and styled.
Drying Your Wig in the Clothes Dryer
After washing and conditioning your selection,place your towel blotted wig in a nylon/cloth mesh pull string laundry bag. Containing your selection in such a fashion will avoid the mishap of strands getting caught in open crevasses of the dryer. If you desire to add a fabric sheet, place the sheet within the wig cap, using a small safety-pin to attach it,this will keep the sheet in place. Remove when cycle is complete.
Placing one to two wigs max per bag; this quantity ensures good air circulation to the selection. Set your clothes dryer, on NO HEAT and let it spin. Drying time depends on the material human or synthetic and the density of the material.
So, drying time is approximately 30 minutes and beyond, again depending on several factors: Number of wigs in bag, material of the wigs, the thickness of the wig cap and the density of the hair materials. This is a great go to for those that employ natural drying for their selections.
Without a Mesh Laundry Bag
Now for those of you that are on the quest to explore new ventures and once you discover a new venture you find while excited yes, to test drive this new suggestion you quickly come to realize that you don’t have the item on hand that is suggested! often times that would be me, so, not to be deterred I find myself brainstorming for other alternatives.
Not to fear, if you don’t have a laundry bag on hand, use a pillow case! Place the wig….. I would recommend only one wig at a time in the pillowcase, place it at the bottom and fold the pillow case down and pin across with safety pins, no pins? tie a big knot in the pillowcase. Be careful to pin and/or knot only the pillowcase, keeping the wig free of either.
The key is to give the wig ample space, yet limit mobility of the wig while in that contained space and allow it to spin dry. Yeah!
