Prosperity wig Gabor Essentials Collection

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.

Please feel confident that your wig will remain on your head, if you have measured your head correctly and you are wearing the correct size wig. Wigs are available in Petite, Average & Large. There are also adjustable velcro fasteners at the nape of the neck, which you can adjust the size and security of your wig by up to 3cm.

Trust your instincts - if your wig feels secure and comfortable, you can feel confident that it will stay in place correctly.

Choosing the right wig cap construction is crucial for achieving the perfect blend of comfort, realism, and durability. Here are the main four types:

• Wefted Caps: These are the foundation of most wigs and are often the most affordable option. Wefts of hair are sewn onto strips of material, creating a basic but functional cap and are a great budget-friendly choice.
  
• Lace Fronts: Feature a thin, sheer lace material at the front hairline, which gives the illusion of a natural hairline. This construction allows for versatile styling and a seamless blend creating a natural hairline, especially when hair is styled away from the face.
  
• Monofilament Caps: These have a sheer mesh material, where each hair is individually hand-tied. This creates the illusion of natural hair growth and allows for multidirectional styling. Monofilament caps provide excellent breathability and scalp comfort, along with a realistic appearance at the top of the head.
  
• Completely Hand-Tied Caps: These wigs are crafted entirely by hand, with each hair individually knotted to the cap. Completely hand-tied caps offer unparalleled comfort, as the cap conforms closely to the shape of the scalp. They create the most natural movement and styling versatility.

It may sound daunting, but in fact it is very easy and you will soon get used to it.

1. Place the front section of the wig at your front hairline and pull it back over your head.
2. Shuffle into position at your nape until comfortable.
3. Lift your head up straight and then position the ear tabs until they are just infront of your ears and laying flat.
4. Next, go the the fringe area and adjust so that the wig is not too far back and not too far forward.
5. Finally, once the wig is in position, gently pat it down to ensure it lays smoothly against your scalp.
   

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!
