Caroline wig Feather Premier 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.

If you sweat a lot you may wish to wash your wig more frequently. Perhaps twice a week. Excess oils and sweating may irritate your scalp if you are wearing a wig. Consider wearing a wig cap to create a barrier between your sweat and the wig.

To minimize the risk of damage from sweating, consider the following tips:

• Wear a wig cap underneath your wig to help absorb sweat and protect the wig cap.
  
• Cleanse and condition your wig regularly to remove sweat, oils, and buildup.
  
• Rotate between multiple wigs to give each one time to air out and dry completely between wearings.
  

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.

A hand-tied wig is a type of wig construction where each hair strand is individually hand-knotted onto the wig cap. This method offers a highly natural appearance and greater flexibility in styling compared to machine-made wigs.

The key features of a hand-tied wig can include:

• Fully Hand-Tied Wigs: The entire cap is hand-tied, providing the most natural movement and flexibility. This allows the hair to move freely in any direction, which enhances the wig's realism.
  
• Partially Hand-Tied Wigs: Combines hand-tied sections with machine-made wefts to offer a balance of natural appearance and affordability. Common features may include a hand-tied top or crown with wefted sides and back.

The benefits include:

• Very Natural Appearance: Because the hair is hand-tied, it appears to come directly from the scalp. This makes the wig look very realistic.
  
• Comfort: The cap is usually made from a lightweight and breathable material, making it comfortable to wear for long periods. Suitable for individuals with sensitive scalps or those experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions.
  
• Versatile Styling: Allows for more versatile styling options, as the hair can be parted in any direction. You can change your hairstyle without worrying about exposing the wig cap.
  

Permatease is an abbreviation for permanent teasing. It is located at the top area of the wig and has two functions. 1. To create volume and lift. 2. To hide the wefts of the cap base.

Permatease is a versatile hairstyling technique that plays a crucial role in the construction of wigs and hairpieces, helping to enhance volume, coverage, and overall appearance. By teasing the hair at the roots, permatease creates a base of support for the rest of the hair to sit on, resulting in a fuller, more voluminous appearance.

It is made up of short, matted fibres and can sometimes give a singed effect if the permatease is not lifted enough.
