Choose the Perfect Wig for Christmas & New Year Events

The festive season in Lagos comes with weddings, house parties, family visits, office end-of-year hangouts, church events, and of course New Year crossovers.
Your wig isn’t just hair at this time; it’s part of the parrrttyyyy.

Whether you’re stepping out for Christmas Day lunch or ringing in the New Year at a party, choosing the right wig can make all the difference between effortless glam and constant adjustment.

Here’s how to choose the perfect wig for Christmas and New Year events without stress.

1. Consider the Type of Event You’re Attending

Not all festive events require the same level of drama.

• Family gatherings / church → Go for natural-looking wigs (body wave, straight, soft curls)
• House parties / concerts → Bold styles like deep wave, curly wigs, or layered units
• Weddings & special events → Longer lengths, HD lace wigs, or styled frontal wigs
• Travel-heavy plans → Lightweight wigs that are easy to maintain and restyle

The goal is to match your wig to the vibe of the event.

2. Choose a Wig Texture That Matches the Season

December in Nigeria comes with harmattan, heat, and long days out. Your wig texture should work with the weather, not against it.

Best textures for the festive season:

• Body Wave – elegant, versatile, easy to restyle
• Loose Curly / Deep Wave – festive, full, and party-ready
• Straight (bone or silky) – sleek and timeless for formal events

Avoid textures that tangle easily if you’ll be outdoors or dancing a lot.

3. Pick the Right Length (Comfort Matters!)

Long wigs look stunning, but they’re not always practical for every event.

• 14–18 inches → Comfortable, classy, perfect for day events
• 20–24 inches → Glamorous and ideal for parties & photos
• 26 inches and above → Statement looks (best for short outings)

If you’ll be out all day, comfort should come first.

4. Lace Type Can Make or Break the Look

A flawless wig install is key, especially when you’ll be taking photos.

• HD Lace – Best for natural, skin-like finish
• Transparent Lace – Good for most skin tones with minimal tinting
• Closure Wigs – Low maintenance, beginner-friendly
• Frontal Wigs – More styling options, but require proper installation

For festive events, HD lace wigs are worth the investment.

5. Think About Styling Flexibility

You might want to wear the wig more than once during the season.

Choose wigs that allow:

• Center or side parting
• Easy heat styling
• Ponytails or half-up styles

This way, one wig can serve you for Christmas, New Year, and beyond.

6. Match the Wig to Your Outfit & Makeup Plans

Your wig should complement your overall look.

• Bold outfits → softer hair styles
• Simple outfits → fuller or longer wigs
• Heavy makeup → sleek or structured wigs
• Natural makeup → soft waves or curls

Planning your hair alongside your outfit helps you look more put-together.

7. Invest in Quality It Shows

Festive season photos last forever.

High-quality 100% human hair wigs:

• Look more natural
• Last longer
• Can be restyled multiple times
• Give better value over time

Cheap wigs may cost less initially but often disappoint quickly.
