Alba Comfort wig Ellen Wille Hairpower Collection

There are a few things to think about before choosing your wig but don't worry - we will help every step of the way. The first is cap size, a well-fitting wig will feel more secure and comfortable. If you're not sure how to measure, our wig size guide will show you exactly what to do.

Next, think about the length and style that best suits your lifestyle. Longer wigs can tend to need a bit more care while shorter styles are often easier to manage day to day. Then there's colour - you might prefer to stay close to your natural shade or this could be the perfect chance to try something different.

You'll also need to choose between synthetic and human hair as each has its own benefits, along with the cap construction, which can make a real difference to how natural the parting and hairline look.

If it all feels a bit overwhelming, you're not on your own. Our team is always happy to help you find the right wig for your needs. You can give us a call on 01484 844557, or book an appointment at our Huddersfield shop to try on a range of styles in person. For more detailed advice, take a look at our ultimate wig buyer's guide, which talks you through every step of the process.

No, wearing a wig will not stop your natural hair from growing. Hair growth occurs beneath the scalp at the follicle level, which isn't halted by wearing a wig or wig cap.

However, poor wig care or an ill-fitting cap can lead to hair breakage. To keep your natural hair healthy while wearing wigs:

• Maintain scalp hygiene: Wash and thoroughly dry your natural hair before putting on a wig cap to prevent moisture and bacteria buildup. 
• Ensure proper fit: Avoid overly tight caps that cause tension, rubbing, or traction along your hairline.
• Give your scalp breaks: Take off your wig at night so your hair and scalp can breathe.
• Keep hair moisturized: Hydrate your natural hair with light oils or leave-in conditioners underneath your cap.

You are not required to remove your wig through airport security. We recommend though that you check to see if there is any metal within your cap construction. Metal may trigger sensors throughout the security. If you use metal clips of bobby pins to secure your wig it may be advisable to remove them whilst you travel.

Airport staff are accustomed to dealing with a wide range of personal accessories and clothing items during screenings. Just be prepared to cooperate with any additional inspection procedures if necessary, and you should have no problems travelling with your wig.

Yes, you can easily change the parting if your wig features a monofilament or hand-tied cap construction, as these types offer greater flexibility as they are constructed with individual hairs hand-tied to the cap material, allowing for natural movement and versatility.

However, if your wig is synthetic, it is very unlikely that you can alter the parting effectively due to the limitations of synthetic fibres and construction methods. They are typically constructed with pre-set partings and styles, as the fibres are manufactured to maintain their shape and style. Attempting to change the parting on a synthetic wig can be challenging and may not yield satisfactory results.

Fibre wigs which are worn on a daily basis, will last between four to six months. The longevity of the longer styles may be less, due to the fibres at the tips becoming rubbed against your clothes.
