Spellbound wig Natural Image Inspired 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.

Yes, you can easily change the parting if your wig features a monofilament or hand-tied cap construction, as these types offer greater flexibility as they are constructed with individual hairs hand-tied to the cap material, allowing for natural movement and versatility.

However, if your wig is synthetic, it is very unlikely that you can alter the parting effectively due to the limitations of synthetic fibres and construction methods. They are typically constructed with pre-set partings and styles, as the fibres are manufactured to maintain their shape and style. Attempting to change the parting on a synthetic wig can be challenging and may not yield satisfactory results.

Heat-friendly or heat-resistant wigs are a special type of synthetic wig with fibres that can safely be exposed to higher temperatures without melting or deforming. Heat-friendly styles can be truly fabulous; you can personalise them by adding waves or wearing them smooth and sleek, depending on what you fancy. Styling a heat-friendly synthetic wig can help your wig look and feel more natural, particularly for those who wear their wig every day, and you can change up your look without buying a whole new wig.

A monofilament is a type of wig cap construction upon which a fine layer of transparent micro-mesh is inserted at the parting, crown or top area. Each strand of hair is then individually hand-tied to this layer of mesh to mimic natural hair growth and to give a natural appearance. They are ideal for individuals seeking a natural-looking and comfortable wig solution, whether for fashion purposes, hair loss, or medical reasons.

The key features that a monofilament wig can have, include:

• Monofilament Top: The top of the wig is made from a fine, breathable mesh material known as 'monofilament'. Individual hairs are hand-tied to the monofilament, allowing for a natural look and versatile styling.
  
• Monofilament Part: Only a section of the wig, typically along the parting line, is made from monofilament. This offers a more affordable option while still providing a natural look at the part.
  
• Monofilament Crown: The monofilament material is concentrated at the crown of the wig, giving a natural appearance at the top while the rest of the cap may be constructed from other materials.

The benefits include:

• Natural Look: The hand-tied construction and realistic scalp appearance help the wig look natural.
  
• Comfort: Lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for those with sensitive scalps or undergoing medical treatments.
  
• Styling Flexibility: The ability to part the hair in any direction allows for more styling options.
  
• Durability: High-quality monofilament wigs can be more durable and long-lasting compared to other wig types.
  

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.
