Ava Lace Part wig Duo Fibre collection Gisela Mayer

Lace fronts can be either pre-cut or uncut. Most of our lace styles at Simply Wigs are pre-cut lace so there is no need to get your scissors out. For the uncut lace wig styles, use sharp scissors and trim any excess lace from the front of the wig. Aim to cut close to the knots but not so close that you unpick the fibre. 

Uncut lace front - trimming the lace front on a wig is an important step to ensure a natural-looking hairline. You will need sharp scissors, a wig stand or mannequin and hair clips.

1. Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to keep it steady during the trimming process. If you don't have a stand, you can hold the wig securely in your hand.
   
2. Use hair clips to pin back any excess hair that may get in the way while trimming.
   
3. Carefully use sharp scissors to cut close to the knotted hairline. Take your time and make small, precise cuts to avoid cutting too much lace. It's better to cut a little at a time and check the progress frequently.
   

Buying a wig for the first time can be an exciting experience, but it's important to consider a few key factors to ensure you make the right choice.

1. Determine Your Needs Style:

Think about the style you want (e.g., bob, long, curly) and consider whether it's for daily wear, special occasions, or to manage hair loss.

2. Choose the Type of Wig

Human Hair, Synthetic or a blend. Human hair wigs look natural and can be styled like your own hair, but they're usually more expensive. Synthetic wigs are more affordable and come pre-styled but may not last as long. Consider cap construction and look for options like lace front, full lace, or monofilament for a more realistic look and comfortable fit.

3. Find Your Size

Measure Your Head: Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around your head, from the front hairline, over the ears, and around the nape of your neck. Most wigs come in standard sizes (small, medium, large). Adjustable Straps: Many wigs have adjustable straps to ensure a snug fit.

4. Consider the Cost

Wigs can vary significantly in price. Determine how much you're willing to spend and explore options within that range and keep an eye out for discounts or promotions!

Human hair wigs do demand more maintenance compared to synthetic fibre wigs, but with proper care, they can last quite a while. If you're wearing your human hair wig daily and taking good care of it, you can expect it to last anywhere from six to twelve months.

Using high-quality products formulated specifically for human hair wigs can help keep them in top condition for longer. It is also essential to handle your human hair wig with care, avoiding harsh brushing or combing when wet and storing it properly when not in use to prevent tangling or damage.

By following a regular maintenance routine and treating your human hair wig with care, you can extend its lifespan and enjoy beautiful, natural-looking hair for many months.

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.

Human Hair wigs provide more versatility and they will feel very much like your own bio hair. They are though more expensive and require a lot of maintenance.

1. Natural Appearance: Human hair wigs offer the most natural look and feel because they are made from real hair. They can be styled and dyed just like your own hair, providing versatility.
   
2. Durability: With proper care, human hair wigs can last longer than synthetic wigs. They are more resistant to heat damage and can withstand regular styling.
   
3. Comfort: Human hair wigs are often more breathable and comfortable to wear, especially in warm weather, due to their natural properties.
   

Synthetic wigs are more affordable and will maintain their shape throughout the day, without high maintenance.

1. Affordability: Synthetic wigs are generally more affordable than human hair wigs, making them a budget-friendly option.
   
2. Low Maintenance: Synthetic wigs require minimal styling and upkeep. They hold their style well, even after washing, and typically don't need restyling.
   
3. Colour Options: Synthetic wigs come in a wide range of pre-styled colours and textures, offering versatility without the need for additional styling.
