FAQs
Yes, some people may be able to get help towards the cost of a wig, especially if they are experiencing hair loss because of a medical condition or treatment.
In the UK, you may be able to ask your GP, consultant, dermatology team or hospital team whether you are eligible for an NHS wig or support with wig costs. NHS wig support can depend on your circumstances, where you live, and whether you qualify for help with health costs. Some people may also be eligible for VAT relief on wigs if they are buying because of a qualifying disability or long-term medical condition.
At Simply Wigs, we also offer different ways to save, including newsletter offers, Fab Friday deals, and community discounts such as sharing a selfie or telling your wig-wearing story.
If you are unsure what support may apply to you, please contact our friendly customer service team. We will always do our best to guide you towards the most suitable options.

No, people will not be able to tell you are wearing a wig.
A well-fitting, natural-looking wig can be very discreet. Choosing the right cap size, colour, style and fibre can make a big difference to how realistic your wig looks. Features such as lace fronts, monofilament tops and rooted colours can also help create a softer, more natural appearance.
The most realistic wigs tend to have a combination of:
- A good cap fit
- A flattering colour
- A style that suits your face shape
- Natural-looking movement
- A realistic parting or hairline
- Comfortable, secure cap construction
When these details work together, the wig becomes much more discreet and easier to wear with confidence.
Wearing a wig cap is optional and is a personal decision. It can be worn to secure any existing hair, or it can provide a barrier between your skin and the wig. It can also help protect your scalp if you have sensitive skin. There are several reasons why someone might choose to wear a wig cap:
- Securing existing hair: A wig cap can help keep any natural hair in place and prevent it from poking out from under the wig, creating a smoother and more seamless look.
- Barrier between skin and wig: Some people opt to wear a wig cap to create a barrier between their scalp and the wig, which can help with comfort and hygiene, especially if you tend to sweat or have sensitive skin.
- Scalp protection: For individuals with sensitive skin, wearing a wig cap can provide an extra layer of protection against potential irritation from the wig material.

Storing your wig properly is important to maintaining its shape and quality.
- Ideally, you should store your wig in the original packaging. Simply comb through the wig to remove any tangles or knots, then fold it flat and place it back into the box. Store in a cool and dry place and away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage to the wig fibres.
- Alternatively, if you have lots of space, you could put on wig stands and have them on display. There are various types of wig stands available, including ones that resemble a head shape or simple upright stands.

Yes, you can. You have two options. You can either braid your hair and then wrap the braids around and towards your crown. Or you can tie your long hair into a ponytail and then clip it towards your forehead. Finally, secure your hair by wearing a wig cap.
No. The most important factor for you to consider is how comfortable you feel when you are wearing your wig. If you have hair, you can always clip and pop on a wig cap. The wig cap will keep your hair secure under your wig. If you have been told you are to lose your hair, shaving your head is a very personal decision, but don't feel any pressure to do so until you are ready.
