Wigs are a fantastic way to express our style, protect natural hair, or simply switch things up. But just like natural hair, wigs need proper care to stay in top condition. One of the most common questions wig wearers ask is: How often should I revamp my wig? The answer depends on various factors, including the type of wig, how often you wear it, and your maintenance routine. Let’s break it down. Synthetic Wigs Revamp Frequency: Monthly Synthetic wigs are made from artificial fibres, which tend to tangle and lose their lustre more quickly than human hair wigs. Daily wear accelerates this process, especially around high-friction areas like the nape of the neck. If your synthetic wig has persistent frizziness or matting that won’t smooth out with brushing, it’s a clear sign it needs attention. A loss of shine or an overly “plastic” appearance can make the wig look unnatural and tired. Additionally, a stiff or coarse texture that feels far from lifelike is another indication that your wig is due for a refresh. Human Hair Wigs Revamp Frequency: Every 2–6 months. Human hair wigs are more durable and natural-looking, but they’re not invincible. Heat styling, colouring, and regular wear can […] The post How Often Should You Revamp Your Wig? appeared first on BN Style.

As we step into 2025, Afrocentric style continues to inspire global fashion and cultural significance. If you’re looking to embrace this vibrant aesthetic, here are five must-have pieces to create a wardrobe that’s deeply rooted in African heritage and unapologetically stylish. 1.

The start of a new year always brings a wave of excitement, fresh goals, and promises to make better choices. If getting fit is on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2025, congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthier you! But before you dive into gym memberships and workout routines, there are a few things you should know to set yourself up for success. 1. Start Slow and Stay Consistent It’s tempting to go all-in, especially when motivation is high. However, it’s better to start slow and focus on building consistency.

Remember, consistency beats intensity in the long run.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Beauty (@bellanaijabeauty) 2.

The idea of doing a big chop can be thrilling yet nerve-wracking. Cutting off most of your hair represents a fresh start, a bold statement, and, for many, a liberating moment. But let’s face it—the commitment can feel daunting. What if you’re not ready to go full-on big chop just yet? Enter the pixie cut: a chic, trendy, and less drastic option that’s perfect for testing the waters. Why a Pixie Cut is the Perfect First Step A pixie cut is essentially a middle ground between your current hairstyle and the big chop. It’s short enough to give you that transformative feeling, but still versatile enough to style in multiple ways.  Most importantly, it’s reversible. If you decide the super-short look isn’t for you, growing out a pixie cut is far less intimidating than starting over from a big chop. Plus, you can even leave your hair in and get a pixie wig or extensions.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Nneka Ibeabuchi.
