The hairpieces are a great way to try new hair colors without the risk of damage, and they're pretty easy to install yourself. The toughest part is shopping for the perfect wig . If you're a beginner, look for options that have a hair density of at least 200 grams (that's the volume). You also want to make sure the hairline looks as natural as possible. Beauty blogger Nicole Guerreiro likes lacefront wigs. Once you've found a winner, braid your natural hair. Tuck and pin the ends of the braids. And secure your wig with its clips and straps.

Highlighting your cupid’s bow is one way to fake a fuller pout . You can use a lipliner that's two shades lighter than your skin tone to emphasize the V-shape.
