Fresh pencils, new outfits, and the opportunity for a new look are some of the most beloved things in the back-to-school season. What better way to switch up your look than with hair?

Wigs provide the easiest way to change a hairstyle without causing damage to the natural hair. When choosing your wig or extensions it's important to choose high-quality human hair that will last year round. Here's our curated list of hair wigs and extensions for back-to-school styling.

The Wear and Go Wig for Back to School

A wear and go wig, also known as a glueless lace wig, is a type of wig that is designed to be worn quickly and easily without the need for glue or adhesives. The lace area of the wig is often precut, allowing for easy application in just a few seconds without any tools required. These wigs are often made from human hair and are known for their durability, maintaining softness, shine, and overall quality even with regular wear and styling.

This ready-to-wear hair wig comes with a few advantages. Wear and go wigs require minimal maintenance compared to traditional wigs. Traditional wigs often require glues or adhesives causing product buildup. Excess product buildup leads to more frequent washing of the hair. Over time, washing and styling the wig frequently can put more stress on the fibers, causing them to break down more easily. Whereas, wear and go wigs do not require adhesives, are often pre-cut and pre-plucked, and are easy to wash and care for.

This is an extremely beginner-friendly wig. With proper care and maintenance, UNice Wear and Go Wigs lasts 200+ wears. As well as offers exclusive back-to-school promos.

V-Part Wigs for Back to School

A v part wig is a type of wig that has a V-shaped opening at the top front of the wig. This opening helps to give a more natural hairline look and allows for a more versatile styling option. The V-part wig is a modified half wig that can be worn with less leave-out or no leave-out of natural hair, and it allows the wearer to show their own scalp in the parting area. It does not come with any lace and does not require gels or glues at all.

V-part wigs are great for hiding any thinning patches while simultaneously adding volume to the hair.

As a glueless option, those with sensitive scalps don't have to worry about any irritating glues or adhesives. Or tugging or pulling at the delicate edges of the hairline. If experiencing hair thinning or hair loss check out our detailed recommendations.

The V-shaped opening in the wig helps to give a natural hairline look. It also makes it difficult to discern where the wearer's natural hair ends and where the wig begins.

For those with kinky and curly hair, choose options that match your natural hair texture as closely as possible. However, those with curly textures can still wear straight-textured v-part wigs with straight textures. It will first require straightening the whole head to blend with the texture of the wig. When in doubt, always consult a professional stylist.

Hair Bundles for Back to School

Hair bundles, also known as wefts, are collections of hair strands bound together at one end and free-flowing at the other. Hair bundles are used to add length and volume, experiment with different styles, protect natural hair, and create quick and easy hairstyles.

They can be sewn, glued, or clipped onto natural hair, and can be dyed, curled, straightened, and styled just like natural hair. Proper care and maintenance, including regular washing, conditioning, and styling, are important to maintain the quality and longevity of hair bundles.

Hair bundles can be used as a protective style to give natural hair a break from heat styling and other damaging treatments. They can be styled in various ways to protect natural hair from breakage and damage.

Hair bundles are braided directly into natural hair without the time-consuming steps of braiding natural hair and then going back to braid in the extension. They provide protection to natural hair by reducing the need for frequent heat styling, chemical treatments, and excessive manipulation. When installed properly, hair bundles act as a shield, safeguarding your natural hair from environmental factors and minimizing damage. They allow your hair to rest and grow while offering the opportunity to experiment with different styles.

Additionally, the use of hair bundles can prevent friction, breakage, and overexposure to styling stressors, contributing to overall hair health. However, correct installation and careful maintenance are essential to fully reap these protective benefits without causing potential issues.
