Modern Curl wig New Generation Collection Gisela Mayer

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lace fronts can be either pre-cut or uncut. Most of our lace styles at Simply Wigs are pre-cut lace so there is no need to get your scissors out. For the uncut lace wig styles, use sharp scissors and trim any excess lace from the front of the wig. Aim to cut close to the knots but not so close that you unpick the fibre. 

Uncut lace front - trimming the lace front on a wig is an important step to ensure a natural-looking hairline. You will need sharp scissors, a wig stand or mannequin and hair clips.

1. Place the wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to keep it steady during the trimming process. If you don't have a stand, you can hold the wig securely in your hand.
   
2. Use hair clips to pin back any excess hair that may get in the way while trimming.
   
3. Carefully use sharp scissors to cut close to the knotted hairline. Take your time and make small, precise cuts to avoid cutting too much lace. It's better to cut a little at a time and check the progress frequently.
