How to Thin out a Wig

There are many types of human hair wigs, and different types of wigs have different densities. For example, lace front wig and full lace wig have 130 density and 150 density. 360 lace wig has 150 density and 180 density. The higher the density, the thicker the hair, the more full it looks. The lower the density, and the thinner the hair. However, not all people like thick hair, and not all cases are suitable for thicker hair. If you often exercise sweating, or if your living environment or working environment is very hot, then you may need thin hair.

Manufacturers would rather give you more hair than give you too little hair so you can't customize it the way you want. This is why many women choose to cut their hair to get a more natural wig. If you are not satisfied with the density of your wig, read this blog carefully, then simply follow the steps below to help you trim your lace wigs.

If you do decide to thin out your wig yourself, purchase a pair of thinning scissors. You should not need a normal pair of scissors to thin out your hair as thinning is a different technique for cutting. The fine teeth on thinning scissors prevent a clean cut and only trim some of the hair, creating a soft, natural look. Hair clips are useful when splitting your hair into sections, and a hairbrush helps to brush out the cut hair. 

Once you've got the tools in place, you need to think about whether you want to thin out all of the hair or just the ends for a more layered effect. If you would like to thin out the entire length of your hair, take the trimming scissors as close to the root as possible to avoid stubby hairs that stick up. If you have a short, choppy cut, you can start by making a cut with the trimming scissors a couple of inches away from the root, and another cut farther down the length of the hair for a more dynamic texture. Natural hair tends to be thinner towards the ends, so for longer hair make several cuts with the scissors at different lengths towards the ends of the hair.

Friendly tips, either trying the wig on every so often to check how much more thinning is needed or thinning the wig out while it is on your head. If you are not sure if you can succeed, seek the help of a professional hair stylist. If you don't have a wig yet, that's fine. Go to Ruiyu hair and pick one.
