Synthetic Fiber Wigs

Synthetic wigs are great if you want something easy to care for. They keep their style even after washing, which is super handy. Many of our synthetic wigs can handle some heat, so you can style them a bit too. Synthetic wigs are often more affordable and require less maintenance than human hair wigs. They're ideal for those new to wearing wigs or for people who want a hassle-free option.

Human Hair Blend Wigs

Human hair blend wigs feel super natural. They're a mix of human and synthetic hair, giving you the best of both worlds. You can style these wigs just like your own hair, using heat tools and all. Human hair blend wigs offer the natural look and feel of human hair with the durability and ease of care associated with synthetic fibers. They're a great middle-ground option for those who want versatility in styling without the higher price tag of 100% human hair wigs.

Finding the Right Fit

Getting a wig that fits well is super important. Most of our wigs have adjustable straps, so you can make them fit just right. Here's a quick guide on wig sizes:

Small

Width: 1-4 inches
Ideal for small areas of thinning hair

Medium

Width: 4-6 inches
Suitable for medium-sized areas of thinning hair

Large

Width: 6-10 inches
Best for larger areas of thinning hair

To ensure the best fit, it's important to measure your head accurately. Use a soft measuring tape to measure around your hairline, starting at the center of your forehead, going behind your ears, and back to the starting point. This measurement will help you determine which size category you fall into:

  • Small: 21-21.5 inches (53.3-54.6 cm)
  • Average: 21.5-22.5 inches (54.6-57.2 cm)
  • Large: 22.5-23.5 inches (57.2-59.7 cm)

Remember, most wigs come with adjustable straps or bands to help you achieve a more customized fit. If you're between sizes, it's usually better to go up a size for added comfort.

Caring for Your New Wig

Taking good care of your wig will make it last longer. Here are some tips:

  • Wash your wig every 6-8 wears or when it starts to feel heavy or look dull
  • Use special wig shampoo and conditioner to maintain the fibers and prevent damage
  • Let your wig air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape and prevent tangling
  • Brush gently, starting from the ends and working your way up to avoid damaging the fibers
  • Store your wig on a wig stand or in a wig box when not in use to maintain its shape and protect it from dust
  • Avoid using heat styling tools on synthetic wigs unless they are specifically labeled as heat-friendly

Boosting Your Confidence

Remember, wearing a wig is all about feeling good. It might take a little time to get used to, but soon it'll feel like a part of you.
