African American wig styles are in more demand now as our schedules get tighter. In the black community, great hair means sleeker and well-kept (aka never nappy). But the time you need to put in sitting in a salon chair is a big demand on a busy schedule (which we all have!).

However, you don’t always have to spend the time in the chair. A wig is the best option as it is a quick way to get a perfect hair style that only looks like you spent hours at the salon. Will look just like your hair… even better! Besides the convenience factor, wigs allows great flexibility in allowing you to change your hairstyle overnight! This is a good option for women who prefer having new looks every day or week.

African American wigs have improved in quality and range of choices in the past few years. Brands like Vivica Fox, Motown Tress, and Forever Young have grown as the demand for quality products has increased by women of color. But the many traditional brands are expanding their lines to include hair that is a bit more textured... and who says you have to stay with textured hair anyway? We can have any hair we want... if the wig fits... wear it!

Here are some great trends in the African American market we are seeing diversity at its most beautiful as these wigs for black women and women of color are right on trend:

Long sexy hair will never go out of style (pun intended;) These days long hair is not just for the young vixen anymore! Women of all ages and color can rock long locks. Just make sure to add some layers in and you will always look fresh and young in your long hair style.

Long hair style wigs are hot sellers all year round. You’ll be turning head and looking hot… just make sure you stay cool… look for a wig that is open wefted which means COOL!

Many black women complain about excessive heat when wearing wigs. This usually happens when you wear a lesser quality wig… yes… cheap wigs are hot (and not the kind of hot you want to be!) But like this Bori wig by Motown Tress you can choose a open wefted cap also called traditional or basic wig cap. This means each of the wefts of hair are connected but not completely sewn together in order to leave space to stretch and breathe between each weft. This allows air circulation with-in the wig… cool head… cool style! Actually you might even forget that you’re wearing a synthetic wig.

Every girl needs curls. No exception! But make sure you are getting the right look from your curls. Most black women love curly hair however, the best curls are not a hairstyle that is easy to achieve or maintain. So the best option is to buy a curly wig like the one featured in the photo above.

Don’t forget to keep your Curls looking soft and conditioned. Its super important to use great products for synthetic hair wigs as the fiber is not like human hair wigs at all and needs products formulated especially for keeping synthetic hair looking natural and well-conditioned. A great soft curly wig will give you a fresh and new look. Keep your curls in check… by placing it on a wig stand when not in use – this will preserve its style!
