It seems every generation has a female superstar that is
idolized. Some of us can remember - or at least we have
been told that Marilyn Monroe was one such person. She was
beautiful and her hair was unique. So what happened?
There was a sudden demand for Marilyn Monroe wigs. Another
such idol was Dolly Parton. Not only does she have a
unique and beautiful voice but she is pretty and her
hair/wigs styles are appealing.
In recent times Hannah Montana has reached superstardom -
at least with young females. And her trademark wig is also
idolized. It seems every little girl's fantasy is to look
like Hannah Montana. Where there are customer demands
there are always wise entrepreneurs/business owners ready
to meet those requests.
It's undeniable that little girls love playing dress-up.
The way they choose to dress during this play depends on
who or what they desire to impersonate. For many little
girls the choice is obvious - they want to dress-up to be
Hannah Montana.
In order to look like Hannah the most essential item
required is the infamous wig. Therefore many parents
across the nation have been on a quest for just that. Of
course there are plenty of blonde wigs available on the
market, but if it isn't labeled as a Hannah Montana wig it
just isn't the same.
Although parents may not always find the wigs at their
local department store they can easily be found on eBay.
The key is to only order after checking a photo to ensure
that you are getting the right look. Hannah Montana's hair
is a rich blonde with honey highlights. Although Hannah
is known for her long straight hair there are times that
she has a few waves or textures to the style. However, the
sought after wigs have straight hair.
The wigs should provide a comfortable fit but also be snug
enough to stay in place. Hiding existing (natural) hair
usually is not a problem because the wig style is long and
has bangs across the forehead. Many girls find that in
addition to playtime the wigs can be worn to parties and
concerts. During Halloween the Hannah Montana theme seems
to be everywhere one looks, as it is a favorite costume.
In order to keep the wigs looking great for a long time it
is important that they be cared for properly and handled
appropriately. Since the hair is long and the wearer is
likely to be dancing during the wear-time tangles may
develop. An occasional gentle combing may be needed.
Ideally the wig will be kept on a mannequin head. This
will help the cap to maintain its shape and also help to
keep the hair from getting tangled. If a mannequin head is
not available the wig should be carefully placed in a box
that allows the hair to lay straight or the wig can even be
clipped to a clothes hanger in order to allow the hair to
hang freely. If needed, a plastic bag can be cut at the
bottom and placed over the hanger to cover the wig.
Curling irons and other heat units should not be used on
the wigs. Since the hair is synthetic heat may lead to
melting the individual strands. The wigs will eventually
need to be cleaned. Keep in mind that warm or hot water
should never be used. There are shampoos and conditioners
made specifically for synthetic wigs.
Mix the shampoo with (cool or cold) water in the sink and
then submerge the wig. Gently move the wig around in the
water. Afterward gently rinse the wig in cool or cold
water followed by blotting the hair dry with a towel.
Never use a blow dryer. Allow the wig to air dry. You can
either spread the wig out on a towel or hang it up, or
place it on the mannequin. Synthetic wig conditioners are
put on the wigs while damp. They are not rinsed out.
After the wig is dry you may need to gently comb the hair
to avoid tangles. Only use styling products made
specifically for synthetic wigs. With proper care the wig
should last through many, many hours of dress-up and fun!
