FAQs
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!

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 offer a natural appearance and allow for a wide range of styling possibilities, just like your own bio hair. However, they are more costly and require more maintenance
to keep them looking their best.
Alternatively, synthetic wigs are more affordable and generally require less upkeep. They often come pre-styled, so they're ready to wear right out of the box. However, they may have limitations when it comes to heat styling, and the synthetic fibres can sometimes appear less natural compared to human hair.
Ultimately, the choice between human hair and synthetic wigs depends on your priorities, budget, and styling preferences. If you value versatility and a natural look and don't mind investing more time and money into maintenance, a human hair wig may be the way to go. But if convenience and affordability are key factors for you, a synthetic wig could be the perfect choice.

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.

A small amount of shedding is normal.
Shedding is a natural occurrence with wigs, just like it is with natural hair. A few strands here and there are nothing to worry about. However, if you notice excessive shedding, it could be due to a few factors.
- Firstly, be mindful of how you're caring for your wig. Brushing too vigorously or using harsh products can indeed contribute to increased shedding. Opt for a gentle touch and use products specifically designed for human hair wig care to maintain its quality.
- In very rare cases, excessive shedding might be a sign of a manufacturing issue, like a faulty wig.
