First Lady Michelle Obama inspired Wigs

Much like Jackie Kennedy, First lady Michelle Obama has inspired a fashion trend that grows in popularity. From the clothing and jewelry she wears to her hair style, women of all ages look up for inspiration.

Since 2007, wig manufacturers have also noted the trend and have created First lady inspired lace wigs. The lace wigs are made to resemble Michelle Obama's medium bob.
Here are some of the manufacturers who have been inspired by the First Lady's hair do and therefore designed wigs for African-American women:

Half Wigs with Bangs

It has come to our attention recently that hair manufacturers are producing a new line of products called half wigs with bangs.
These new wigs have the cap size of a regular half wig but have the front bangs of a regular full cap wig.

Listed below are the features of such a wig:
-cap size: 3/4
-full front or side bangs
-comes with combs for secure attachment

So who would benefit from wearing a half wig with a bang?

• people with small or petite size head
• people with very high forehead or hair line receding back
• people seeking instant change of style

What are the advantages of wearing half wig with bangs?

• the wearer should not worry about blending their own hair in the front, as the bangs will cover it
• undetectable style. In general wigs with bangs look more natural and are harder to detect
• instant style change. These wigs require minimum prep time. They are easy to put on and provide an instant change of hair style.

Below are shown samples of half wigs with bangs.

The manufacturer Janet Collection has named their series Easy Wear.


The manufacturer Isis Collection has named their series Bang Plus.


And the manufacturer Femi Collection has named their series Easy Cap. In this case the half wigs can also be worn as draw strings/ pony tails. They are very versatile.

Nicki Minaj's influence on the wig industry

Not wanting to repeat myself with another blog post about Nicki Minaj inspired wigs, I refused to post this this but finally gave up.

After noticing that every major hair manufacturer has plunged into creating Nicki Minaj inspired wigs, I thought it an absolute necessity to write about the pop-star's inevitable influence.

• Fresh and new look

• Unexpected rainbow of colors
• no limitations on inspiration

So here are some of the major hair manufacturers we discovered to be exploring this avenue of sensational hair styles:

Harlem 125- This manufacturer has recently brought out several long and wavy style wigs with full front bangs.



Janet Collection has also created several different styles designed to mimic Nicki's most famous hair dos.


Isis Collection has also created a couple of straight hair wigs with full bangs inspired by the famous rap singer.

Nicki Minaj inspired wigs

Nicki Minaj is one of the hair icons at the moment. Her hair style and hair colors change drastically overnight.

We are constantly amazed and surprised at her next hair endeavor. Here are a few hair wig styles, inspired by Nicki Minaj.

Keyshia Cole and the Mommy wig

We often see Keyshia Cole in bright color choices for her hair style, such as blonds and reds.
This time, the singer has chosen a classy black and a Marylin Monroe like do, to surprise us.
The short wavy look is sophisticated and edgy.


It really reminds us of the classy Mommy wig by Janet Collection. The finger wave curl pattern, the length and the color, all point to the human hair Mommy wig.
The look is amazing on Keyshia and deserves 5 stars out of five!
