Virtue wig Gabor Essentials Series

Cropped and short wigs are incredibly popular among our customers, as they are light to wear and require minimum styling for maximum impact. They are a no-fuss solution to your hair loss concerns and will transform your look in a matter of moments. These wigs offer a sleek and sophisticated appearance, perfect for those who prefer a low-maintenance yet polished style. Their shorter length not only makes them easy to manage, but also allows for better airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Whether you're looking for a chic everyday option or something more daring for a special occasion, cropped and short wigs provide versatile and timeless choices. Available in a range of textures, colours, and cuts, they can be easily customised to match your personal style and enhance your confidence.

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.

No, wearing a wig will not stop your natural hair from growing. Hair growth occurs beneath the scalp at the follicle level, which isn't halted by wearing a wig or wig cap.

However, poor wig care or an ill-fitting cap can lead to hair breakage. To keep your natural hair healthy while wearing wigs:

• Maintain scalp hygiene: Wash and thoroughly dry your natural hair before putting on a wig cap to prevent moisture and bacteria buildup. 
• Ensure proper fit: Avoid overly tight caps that cause tension, rubbing, or traction along your hairline.
• Give your scalp breaks: Take off your wig at night so your hair and scalp can breathe.
• Keep hair moisturized: Hydrate your natural hair with light oils or leave-in conditioners underneath your cap.

If you need a wig because you have experienced hair loss as a result of cancer treatment, you may be eligible to purchase your wig without paying VAT. If you qualify, the VAT relief is applied when you buy your wig rather than being claimed back afterwards. You will need to make the appropriate eligibility declaration when purchasing. You can find full details in our guide to VAT relief on wigs or contact the Simply Wigs team if you would like help understanding the process.

The best wigs for alopecia are usually comfortable, secure and natural-looking. Many people with alopecia prefer lightweight wigs with monofilament, lace front or hand-tied cap constructions, particularly when there is little or no natural hair underneath. The best choice will depend on the type and extent of your hair loss, your scalp sensitivity, budget and how often you plan to wear your wig.
