A while ago I came across Wig Life by Jason Archer - also known as the Wig Guru - and I had to buy it.
And I actually read the whole thing⦠which, if you know me and my ADHD, is saying something š
I usually really struggle with reading, my brain is off in ten different directions, but this felt different.
It was like he was talking to me, not like I was reading a book.
And I learned a lot.
The three biggest things for me:
1. How to cut lace properly
Something I realised Iād actually been doing wrong on so many wigs and it makes such a difference to how flat and natural it sits.
2. How to wash wigs properly (and safely)
There were doās and donāts in there that I never see talked about online, especially when it comes to protecting longevity.
3. Bleached knots & parting appearance
A really helpful explanation around why bleached knots can sometimes lead to wider-looking partings which so many people donāt realise.
But honestly, those are just three of many.
Thereās so much valuable, practical information in there from human hair to synthetics plus a really useful tips section at the end.
If you wear wigs (or are thinking about it), I genuinely think this is a must-read.
Jason sells it himself, but if youāre in the UK, it might be easier to get it through my website or during a consultation š«¶š»
