You will need a cloth tape measure. If you have any hair, push back the hair so there's no added length or volume. Start at the centre of your forehead where your natural hairline is, and you are going to measure the circumference. Drop behind the ears, to the nape, and then back up around the opposite side of your head meeting back at your starting point.

And don't worry if your head circumference measures in between the average sizes as there are adjustable straps at the back of each wig to ensure a perfect fit.

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.

A monofilament is a type of wig cap construction upon which a fine layer of transparent micro-mesh is inserted at the parting, crown or top area. Each strand of hair is then individually hand-tied to this layer of mesh to mimic natural hair growth and to give a natural appearance. They are ideal for individuals seeking a natural-looking and comfortable wig solution, whether for fashion purposes, hair loss, or medical reasons.

The key features that a monofilament wig can have, include:

• Monofilament Top: The top of the wig is made from a fine, breathable mesh material known as 'monofilament'. Individual hairs are hand-tied to the monofilament, allowing for a natural look and versatile styling.
  
• Monofilament Part: Only a section of the wig, typically along the parting line, is made from monofilament. This offers a more affordable option while still providing a natural look at the part.
  
• Monofilament Crown: The monofilament material is concentrated at the crown of the wig, giving a natural appearance at the top while the rest of the cap may be constructed from other materials.

The benefits include:

• Natural Look: The hand-tied construction and realistic scalp appearance help the wig look natural.
  
• Comfort: Lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for those with sensitive scalps or undergoing medical treatments.
  
• Styling Flexibility: The ability to part the hair in any direction allows for more styling options.
  
• Durability: High-quality monofilament wigs can be more durable and long-lasting compared to other wig types.
  

A small amount of shedding is normal.

Shedding is a natural occurrence with wigs, just like it is with natural hair. A few strands here and there are nothing to worry about. However, if you notice excessive shedding, it could be due to a few factors.

• Firstly, be mindful of how you're caring for your wig. Brushing too vigorously or using harsh products can indeed contribute to increased shedding. Opt for a gentle touch and use products specifically designed for human hair wig care to maintain its quality.
  
• In very rare cases, excessive shedding might be a sign of a manufacturing issue, like a faulty wig.
  

Treating your human hair wig with care is crucial for maintaining its quality and longevity. You can blow dry, curl and straighten your human hair wig, just like your own bio hair. However, it's essential to take precautions to prevent damage.

Applying a heat-protecting spray before using any styling tools is a fantastic idea. This creates a barrier between the heat and the hair, reducing the risk of damage from high temperatures. Additionally, it's important not to overdo it with styling. While it's tempting to experiment with different looks, excessive heat styling can lead to dryness, breakage, and ultimately reduce the lifespan of your wig.
