All About U-Part Wigs

What is a u-part wig? 

A u-part wig is a type of wig that is measured and sewn-in into a u-shaped wig cap, allowing one's natural hair to be left out and work through the top of the wig, for a more seamless and natural look. This process allows for a more natural-looking hairline and blends with your natural hair, creating the illusion that the hair is simply growing from your scalp.

There are several benefits to wearing a well-made u-part wig that we will dive into within today's blog.

What are the Benefits of U-Part Wigs?

So you may be asking yourself what the benefits of a u-part wig are and we're so glad you asked. There are several benefits to wearing u-part wigs. A few of them include:

1. Natural Looking: U-part wigs tend to blend seamlessly with your natural hair texture. If you're a woman that likes your extensions to look like they are growing directly from your scalp, then you will love the illusion that u-part wigs give.  

2. Versatility: The versatility of u-part wigs is truly unmatched. You can style your natural hair effortlessly with either part when having a u-part due to having leave-out and the style possibilities are truly endless. 

3. Minimal Cutting: Once your u-part wig has been styled with your desired layers and curls, you no longer have to continue cutting into your hair extensions which is a huge plus as we all know our hair extensions are an investment. 

4. Heat Protective: Due to only a small portion of your hair being left out, you will only need to use a small portion of heat on your hair if desired. This allows for a u-part wig to be one of the best heat protective styles to wear.  

5. Beginner Friendly: U-part wigs are the perfect beginner friendly hairstyles and wig options. If you're new to the extensions or wig world, we highly recommend our LAO Blow Out U-Part wig as your first option as this wig and texture is perfect for newcomers.
