Covid-19 and the Shortage of Human Hair Wigs

If you’re looking to buy a new human hair wig, there is a new factor to consider: their stock availability. The impact from Covid-19 has created an unfortunate human hair wig shortage, with demand overwhelming supply.

Human hair wigs are the ultimate in achieving a completely natural look. Here at Simply Wigs, we have many different brands available on our portfolio, with our customers loving the Gem Collection, the Ellen Wille styles, as well as the ultimate in luxury – Jon Renau human hair wigs.

The Availability of Human Hair Wigs

Human hair wig styles have become increasingly popular, driving demand up while difficulties with production due to Covid-19 exacerbated wig shortages. With these two factors at play, human hair wigs quickly became much less readily available.

As countries went into lockdown throughout the world, production ceased, and human hair wig production came to a standstill.

When the world slowly started to open up again, demand was still high for human hair wigs, so wig shortages became inevitable.

What are the Delays on Human Hair Wigs?

Due to the wig shortages, the estimated delay can be anything from three to five months. We understand that this is not ideal, but here at Simply Wigs, we will be updating our online website as soon as we are given the information from our suppliers.

The timescale for wig shortages can vary from brand to brand, so please make sure to check this before you place your order. If you would like any more information, please give our friendly customer services team a call on 01484 844557.

If you are placing an online order for a human hairstyle, we recommend that you call our friendly Customer Services team beforehand, so we can personally check the availability for you. There are still lots of human hair wigs available, but the best-selling colours are dwindling fast.

What Can You Do as a Customer?

1. Look after your current human hair wig.

If you are waiting for your next human hair wig to arrive, then you have an excellent opportunity to give some tender loving care to your current wig. Of course, we would advise following the care instructions that match your specific brand of wig, but if you need some reminders, we have blog posts on human hair wig care and what not to do with your wig.

2. Why not TRY A BLENDED WIG?

As some of our customers cannot source their normal style, we are guiding them to consider the blended options. Our best-selling blended brand is the Prime Power range from Ellen Wille, an absolutely beautiful collection of wigs that look and move just like human hair.

We are also delighted that this particular range of wigs will be on offer during July, with a fabulous 35% off. Here is an opportunity to perhaps consider these stunning wigs at a temporarily reduced price.

Despite the wig shortages, we’re still committed to finding your perfect wig. If you would like advice on colours or availability, please contact us today, and we will be more than happy to help you. In the meantime, our blog has abundant information on wig care, including how to make a human hair wig soft again and how to wash a human hair wig.
