How do I style Heat Friendly Wigs?

Heat-friendly or <a target="_self" href="/ladies-wigs/wig-type/heat-resistant-wigs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">heat-resistant wigs</a> are a special type of synthetic wig with fibres that can safely be exposed to higher temperatures without melting or deforming. Heat-friendly styles can be truly fabulous; you can personalise them by adding waves or wearing them smooth and sleek, depending on what you fancy. Styling a heat-friendly synthetic wig can help your wig look and feel more natural, particularly for those who wear their wig every day, and you can change up your look without buying a whole new wig.

What type of wig is best for alopecia?

There isn't one type of wig that is best for everyone with alopecia. For daily wear or complete hair loss, a soft, lightweight cap can be particularly important. Monofilament tops can create the appearance of hair growing naturally from the scalp, while lace fronts can provide a very natural-looking hairline. Synthetic wigs are easy to care for, while human hair wigs offer greater styling flexibility.

Would a topper suit my partial hair loss?

A topper may be suitable if you need coverage around your crown or parting and have enough healthy hair for its attachment. Clip-in toppers should not pull on fragile hair or attach over bare patches. Our <a href="https://www.simplywigs.co.uk/blog/buying-hair-toppers/">hair topper buying guide</a> explains when a topper or full wig may suit you.

What are the best wigs for alopecia?

The best wigs for alopecia are usually comfortable, secure and natural-looking. Many people with alopecia prefer lightweight wigs with monofilament, lace front or hand-tied cap constructions, particularly when there is little or no natural hair underneath. The best choice will depend on the type and extent of your hair loss, your scalp sensitivity, budget and how often you plan to wear your wig.

Are wigs comfortable if you have complete hair loss?

Yes, wigs can be very comforatble if you have alopecia.Many wigs are designed to be comfortable when worn directly against the scalp. If you have alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis, look for soft cap materials, covered seams and lightweight construction. Hand-tied and monofilament wigs can be particularly comfortable, although everyone's scalp sensitivity is different.

Exhilaration wig Style Details

The Exhilaration wig has big and beautiful curls that are made from a soft heat friendly fibre. While this wig is perfect as it is, you have the ability to truly make it your own, and personalise these curls and layers to fit your individual style. To keep them looking and feeling their best, we recommend not exceeding 180°C when styling, as this also prevents any permanent damage. The cap is made with lovely open wefts, allowing for air to circulate through and around the style, over your scalp for a comfortable and cooling feeling. The slightly stretchy properties of the wefts create a personal fit, as they adjust to the shape of your head for the most comfortable wear. This continues at the top of the cap, as the open wefts creates the air flow, and the soft material around it is gentle against your skin. Breathable, lightweight, and versatile, the Exhilaration wig is an effortless and glamorous style!

Measurements

The front of the wig is around 27cm, with an approximate nape length of 14cm. From the crown, the shortest layer is 35cm and the overall wig length is around 44cm. It weighs a lovely 4.6oz.

Care

For the best care for your wig, we recommend washing your wig every seven wears. To best look after the fibres of this wig, we suggest the Synovation Shampoo, the Synovation Conditioning Spray, and the Synovation Revitaliser.
