Cleaning a synthetic wig is a relatively straightforward process, but it's essential to do it gently to avoid damaging the fibres. Only wash your synthetic wig with aftercare products specifically for synthetic wigs. Detangle the wig gently. Fill a sink of lukewarm water and put some shampoo in the water. Gently swish the wig and leave immersed for between 5-10 mins. Rinse and then repeat with the conditioner. Pat the wig and then leave to dry naturally. Always read the instructions on the shampoo & conditioner bottles, as instructions may vary from different suppliers.

By following these steps and using gentle care, you can keep your synthetic wig clean and look its best for many 'wears' to come. It's generally recommended to wash your synthetic wig every 7 to 10 'wears', or as needed based on how often you wear it.

Determining which wig will suit you best depends on several factors, including your face shape, skin tone, personal style, and lifestyle. Decide what shape your face is. Oval, Round, Heart, Square, Diamond or Oblong. (You can easily do this by tracing the outline of your face in a mirror with lipstick or soap and observing the shape).

Check out our article below, which will offer you suggestions on what styles to try. Remember these suggestions are simply guidelines. If you find a style that suits you, then wear it!  Ultimately, the most important thing is to try on different wig styles and see what you feel most confident and comfortable in.

Human Hair wigs provide more versatility and they will feel very much like your own bio hair. They are though more expensive and require a lot of maintenance.

1. Natural Appearance: Human hair wigs offer the most natural look and feel because they are made from real hair. They can be styled and dyed just like your own hair, providing versatility.
   
2. Durability: With proper care, human hair wigs can last longer than synthetic wigs. They are more resistant to heat damage and can withstand regular styling.
   
3. Comfort: Human hair wigs are often more breathable and comfortable to wear, especially in warm weather, due to their natural properties.
   

Synthetic wigs are more affordable and will maintain their shape throughout the day, without high maintenance.

1. Affordability: Synthetic wigs are generally more affordable than human hair wigs, making them a budget-friendly option.
   
2. Low Maintenance: Synthetic wigs require minimal styling and upkeep. They hold their style well, even after washing, and typically don't need restyling.
   
3. Colour Options: Synthetic wigs come in a wide range of pre-styled colours and textures, offering versatility without the need for additional styling.
   

You can not change the colour of synthetic wigs. Synthetic wigs are made from acrylic fibre and the composition of the fibre does not allow any dye or colour to be absorbed. You can though colour human hair wigs.

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.
