1. Cosy Simple Braid

When you are running low on time, a neat braid is an easy hairstyle that is perfect for an urgent virtual meeting. A single balanced braid frames your face and highlights your features. You can make the braid go down your back or rest elegantly over your shoulder, and let your confidence take centre stage.

How to create:

1. Brush your wig to remove any tangles.
2. Part your hair in the middle or slightly to either side.
3. Divide your hair into three equal sections and start braiding by crossing the outer hair strands over the middle one.
4. Keep an even tension throughout for a polished look and secure the end with a clear or decorative bow.

A drawstring wig lets you adjust the wig once you are done braiding. You are unstoppable at this point, own that meeting!

2. Sleek High Ponytail

A High Ponytail exudes modernity and confidence, ideal for a serious working woman. This hairstyle lifts the hair straight up, drawing focus towards your face, with a High Ponytail you command attention. Ponytail can also be fashionable with small touches. Add sections along the length of the ponytail to breathe personality into your professional look.

How to create:

1. Start by brushing your wig to get rid of tangles and achieve a glossy surface.
2. Gather your top hair and make them into a high ponytail use a hair tie to secure them in place.
3. Adjust the tightness of the ponytail to your comfort, and you are ready for the camera.

3. Bun/Top Knot for Instant Sophistication

A top bun or knot is similar to a ponytail, but instead of leaving your locks to hang, you coil them up into a bun. A hair bun is a striking hairstyle that gives off serious boss lady energy. If you do a top bun right, your face looks longer and more prominent.

How to create:

1. As always, start by brushing your wig and choose between a high or a low bun.
2. Pull your hair into a ponytail and secure it tightly using a hair tie.
3. Now start wrapping the ponytail around the base until you get a bun.
4. Use pins to hold the bun in place.

You can also leave a few strands of hair on either side of the face for a softer effect. Or you can just get our glueless 360 wig if you want to get the top bun right. You are ready to make the presentation that wins big money projects.

4. Half-Up, Half-Down for a Versatile Look

The Half Up, Half Down hairstyle combines the casual and formal looks. Because why choose one when you can have both. This hairstyle shines in collaborative meetings where you are expected to interact with people. You may need to put in a bit of effort to create the Half-Up, Half-Down style but we assure you it will be worth it.

How to create:

1. Section the hair from ear to ear and tie both sides of the hair in a ponytail or a small bun behind your head.
2. Use pins or elastic bands to secure the ponytail or bun, and your upper half of the hairdo is taken care of.
3. For the bottom part of the hairstyle simply brush the hair to smooth them out and let them fall naturally.

This hairstyle is not a last-minute thing. So if you want to get the Half-Up, Half-Down look ready on short notice then use a wig. Style it once and you can put it on for your virtual meetings without styling from scratch every time. This drawstring wig is easy to secure giving you a natural look during zoom meetings.

5. French Braid for Artistic Touch

A French braid is a step up from a regular braid because it spreads the weight and tension of the hair across a wider area, making it more comfortable. A French Braid creates a crown-like effect, because you are the queen after all. This style is a great way to show off your artistic side if you are a creative professional. Wearing a French Braid during a virtual meeting will keep things professional and polished. Can’t go wrong with this style.

How to create:

1. Remove any tangles from your wig hair and get it smooth before braiding.
2. Gather a big chunk of hair from the top middle of your head and separate the bigger chunk into 3 smaller chunks of hair.
3. Similar to a traditional braid, start crossing both the left and right strands of hair over the middle one.
4. While you are braiding, start adding hair strands from each side, maintaining even tension.
5. When you reach the end of the strands, use an elastic band to secure the hairstyle in place.

6. Waves for Effortless Elegance

Waves add a flair of glamour to semi-formal virtual meetings. This hairstyle is both feminine and sophisticated but more importantly, it keeps you comfortable, during those long Zoom sessions. Now of course you need a curling iron for this hairstyle which means the prep time needs to be factored in. But if you have a virtual meeting scheduled in a few days you can get a pre-styled drawstring wig from us and you’re ready to go.

How to create:

We highly recommend you get our pre-styled wavy wig and give the curling iron some rest.

7. Pineapple for Curly Hair Confidence

Pineapple is one of those hairstyles that seems like it is made for curly hair. When the goal is to show off some personality packaged with your expertise then boss ladies go for the Pineapple hair. This hairstyle looks lively and fun yet professional and strong at the same time.

How to create:

1. Whether you are using a wig or want to create the Pineapple out of your actual hair, start by gathering all your hair in a loose ponytail at the top.
2. Secure the loose ponytail with a gentle hair tie and let the ends fan out. Don’t try to flatten them out.
3. For added flair, let a few hair strands loose on either side of the face for a confident look.
