Celebrities Wigs

Wigs are no longer reserved for grandmothers anymore. More and more young women are opting for wigs. It’s a great way to give yourself a new look without the commitment. Women of color also wear wigs because it gives them an easier way of styling their hair. Some of the biggest celebrities like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry sport wigs on a daily basis. Find out their secrets for getting their iconic looks.

Lady Gaga’s Wig Secrets

Charlie Le Mindu is a French wig guru and hairstylist. He’s one of the most respected wig stylists in all of Hollywood. Mindu is also known for creating his share of shocking hair pieces such as the human-hair outfit that would make Cousin It blush.

He explains his process for creating wigs for Gaga:

“To start with, I’m not trying to shock anyone. I just do what I think is fun, but also works with the mood I’m in. If I’m depressed, my show is going to be done with lots of hate. If I’m happy, it will be bright. It really depends on the result that I want, but if some people said it’s too shocking, it may be one of the reactions I wanted. So that means it’s a compliment.”

Have fun with your wigs. Let it express your mood or personality. After all, fashion is about having fun and expressing yourself.

Nicki Minaj’s Wig Secrets

Nicki Minaj admits that her wig obsession began when she met her hair dresser Terrence Davidson. Nicki told Elle magazine, “I don’t want a wig that looks like a wig; I want one that could pass for a weave. And I have an amazing hairdresser [Terrence Davidson]. I could literally tell him to put a jukebox on my head, and he would figure it out.”

All of Nicki’s wigs are made from human hair or Indian hair, according to Davidson. He uses Mizani hair care products to care for his wigs.

Nicki keeps her hair healthy underneath by braiding, washing and conditioning it. Davidson says, “Keep it braided and you’ll have no problem with hair damage.”

Davidson also suggests that you should be creative with your wig choices. The right wigs will make you stand out and get you noticed everywhere you go.

Katy Perry’s Wig Secrets

Katy Perry is rivaling Lady Gaga in both the music and wig departments. She’s been seen with plenty of wild, subdued and sexy hairstyles. She goes from short to long hair within a blink of an eye. Katy wears wigs while performing on stage, shooting music videos, or while on a break from coloring her hair.

Perry kicked off her Prismatic Tour in Belfast, Ireland on May 7. The singer wasn’t without her colorful costumes, props, and wigs. She sported a few eye-catching looks such as a neon green wig, a pastel rainbow wig, and a Cleopatra style wig. She also donned a braided ponytail hair extension.

Celebrity hairstylist Clyde Haygood is the creator behind her outrageous wigs. Clyde enlisted the services of colorist Rebecca Friedman to color her wigs for her tour.
