Wigs FAQs

How can I choose the right wig style for my face shape?

Selecting a wig that complements your face shape involves understanding the balance between the length and width of your face. Oval faces can generally wear a wide range of styles, while round faces may benefit from wigs with added height and layers to create the illusion of length. Square faces often look great with softer curls or waves to soften angular features. Consulting with our specialists can help you navigate different styles to ensure your wig enhances your natural appearance.

How do I care for a human hair wig versus a synthetic wig?

Caring for human hair wigs and synthetic wigs requires different approaches due to the nature of the fibers. Human hair wigs can be washed and styled similarly to natural hair but require regular moisturizing and protection from heat. On the other hand, synthetic wigs maintain their style after washing but should not be exposed to high heat from styling tools. Always use wig-specific shampoos and conditioners to maintain their quality and longevity.

How often should I wash my wig?

The frequency of washing your wig depends on how often it’s worn and the environment in which it’s used. Generally, wigs should be washed after every 8 to 12 wears for synthetic wigs and 6 to 8 wears for human hair wigs. If you wear your wig in environments with a lot of dust, smoke, or humidity, you may need to wash it more frequently. Proper washing not only keeps the wig fresh but also prolongs its life.
