Frequently Asked Questions

Buying

To ensure a wig is good quality, consider the brand and customer reviews. A brand’s longevity and collection of products can be a good indicator on quality. Good quality wigs come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and even prices. Added features like lace and monofilament are upgrades to a wig that add more hand finished details. 

All features listed use a technique where the hair is hand-knotted on sheer materials to give the look of your own hair growth at the scalp. Lace Front is located at the front hairline and allows you to style the hair back and off the face. Monofilament is located at the top of the wig and can either be located at the part, crown or entire top. A fully hand-tied wig has a monofilament top and hand-tied sides and back areas. These wigs have styling versatility and have less seams inside making them feel more comfortable.

Buying a wig that has a hand-tied feature is the easiest way to make sure it will look natural, but most wigs can look natural with or without added cap features. The key to making a wig look natural is selecting a style and color that is close to your own or complementary. Styling and cutting or thinning your wig to customize it for your face shape will help it feel more you and look natural.

Wearing

The foundation or prep work you do before you put on the wig is important for a proper application that looks and feels the best. If you have your own bio hair, we recommend wrapping and pinning it first. Use a nylon wig cap to keep it tight and flat. If you don’t have bio hair, using a wig cap or liner is an option but might help with any scalp sensitivity. Wigs have ear tabs that will help guide you with placement. Make sure they are even and flat. The hairline looks best slightly behind your natural hairline or 4 fingers above the brow bone.

Wigs are made with adjustable straps and these really help keep the wig secure. If you want added security you can use The Hair Grip or sew in clips in the interior to allow the wig to be clipped onto your bio hair.

Styling

Heat-friendly synthetic fiber can be styled using heat tools below 350 degrees. When curling heat-friendly synthetic hair, we recommend allowing the curl to cool down before releasing it to set the curl in place. When heat-friendly synthetic hair is styled with heat, it keeps its shape even after washing. Human hair can benefit from allowing the curl to cool to set but it is not required. Human hair can be styled like your own bio hair.

A natural hairline can be achieved with a lace front wig or pulling out some of your own hair along the hairline. If you plan on wearing the wig off the face, pulling some of your own hair out or choosing something lace front will give you the best result.

All wigs can be cut, trimmed, or thinned out to customize for your individual needs. When it comes to coloring, synthetic wigs can be temporarily colored using eye shadow or hair color sprays but cannot be chemically dyed or treated. With human hair, we recommend only depositing color and not lifting. Always consult with a professional when it comes to cutting or coloring your wig.

Maintaining

Washing your wig is easy. Fill your sink with water and add a capful of shampoo. Mix and soak a synthetic wig for 5 min or hold and dip a human hair wig to cleanse. Do not soak human hair as it can create matting and tangles. Avoid putting leave-in conditioner or regular conditioner to the root or base of the wig. Allow hair to hair dry or use a blow dryer on human hair.

Synthetic wigs typically last 3-6 months and human hair lasts anywhere from 6 months to a year. After continuous wear, wig hair and fibers begin to look dull and damaged and replacing with a new one is recommended. Depending on wear and care, your wigs can last much longer or even less.
