New to Wigs
Choosing a wig for the first time can feel overwhelming, but understanding a few basics can make the process much easier. Start by considering the style, hair fiber, cap construction, size, and color that best fit your needs and lifestyle.
Choose Your Hair Fiber
Synthetic Hair
Synthetic wigs are easy to maintain and come pre-styled. They generally hold their style after washing and require less daily styling.
Heat-Friendly Synthetic Hair
Heat-friendly synthetic wigs offer more styling flexibility and can be styled with approved heat tools. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended temperature and care instructions.
Human Hair
Human hair wigs provide a natural look and feel with greater styling flexibility. They can require more maintenance and styling than synthetic wigs.
Find the Right Size
A properly fitted wig should feel comfortable and secure without being too tight. Measure your head before selecting a size and compare your measurement with the size information provided for the wig.
Understand Cap Construction
Wig caps are available with different features, including lace fronts, monofilament tops, hand-tied construction, and machine-made or open-wefted sections. These features can affect appearance, comfort, ventilation, styling flexibility, and price.
Choose Your Color
Wig colors can look different from one fiber, style, or manufacturer to another. Review the available color information for the specific product, and contact us if you need assistance selecting a color.
