Wig Specific Q&A

A Few More Questions You May Have...

How do I choose the right wig for my face shape and lifestyle? Finding the perfect wig is about balance and personal comfort. For face shape:
  • Oval – Most styles work well, so focus on personal preference.

  • Round – Longer styles with layers create elongation.

  • Heart-shaped – Soft waves or chin-length cuts balance proportions.

  • Square – Side-parted styles or curls soften angles. Lifestyle-wise, consider wig type (synthetic vs. human hair), maintenance needs, and whether you prefer a ready-to-wear or customizable option.

Will my wig look natural, and how do I make it blend seamlessly? Absolutely! Natural-looking wigs come down to a few key factors:
  • Lace fronts & monofilament tops for realistic hairlines.

  • Proper fit—getting the right cap size prevents slipping or unnatural shaping.

  • Styling techniques like plucking the hairline, using wig makeup, and blending with natural hair (if applicable) make a huge difference.

How do I take care of my wig to make it last longer? Proper care keeps wigs looking vibrant and fresh:
  • Wash every 7–10 wears using sulfate-free products.

  • Store on a wig stand to maintain shape.

  • Use heat protectant for human hair wigs if styling with tools.

  • Avoid excessive brushing to prevent shedding. Gentle maintenance ensures longevity while keeping the wig looking natural and full of life.
