Yes, some people may be able to get help towards the cost of a wig, especially if they are experiencing hair loss because of a medical condition or treatment. 

In the UK, you may be able to ask your GP, consultant, dermatology team or hospital team whether you are eligible for an NHS wig or support with wig costs. NHS wig support can depend on your circumstances, where you live, and whether you qualify for help with health costs. Some people may also be eligible for VAT relief on wigs if they are buying because of a qualifying disability or long-term medical condition.

At Simply Wigs, we also offer different ways to save, including newsletter offers, Fab Friday deals, and community discounts such as sharing a selfie or telling your wig-wearing story.

If you are unsure what support may apply to you, please contact our friendly customer service team. We will always do our best to guide you towards the most suitable options.

No, people will not be able to tell you are wearing a wig.

A well-fitting, natural-looking wig can be very discreet. Choosing the right cap size, colour, style and fibre can make a big difference to how realistic your wig looks. Features such as lace fronts, monofilament tops and rooted colours can also help create a softer, more natural appearance.

The most realistic wigs tend to have a combination of: 

• A good cap fit
• A flattering colour
• A style that suits your face shape
• Natural-looking movement
• A realistic parting or hairline
• Comfortable, secure cap construction

When these details work together, the wig becomes much more discreet and easier to wear with confidence.

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.

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.

You are not required to remove your wig through airport security. We recommend though that you check to see if there is any metal within your cap construction. Metal may trigger sensors throughout the security. If you use metal clips of bobby pins to secure your wig it may be advisable to remove them whilst you travel.

Airport staff are accustomed to dealing with a wide range of personal accessories and clothing items during screenings. Just be prepared to cooperate with any additional inspection procedures if necessary, and you should have no problems travelling with your wig.
