Wigs

What is a wig and how do you choose the right one?

A wig is an accessory that covers all or part of your head, to change your style or get a natural-looking head of hair back. It can be made of human hair for a very realistic finish, or of synthetic hair, made from fibres designed to look like real hair. Some fibres are heat-resistant, which means you can use a straightener or curling tongs without damaging the wig.

The choice starts with the base: a lace base or a monofilament top is very comfortable and gives a natural hairline, where the hair looks as if it grows from the scalp. For anyone who wants a perfect fit, an adjustable cap and a breathable cap help you stay comfortable and hold the wig securely in place. The style also depends on the hair density, which is the amount of hair on the wig and affects its texture and volume.

You can choose straight styles or curly ones, depending on what you prefer. Adjustable partings add an even more natural look by letting you vary where the hair is parted. To secure your wig, fixing clips or an adhesive tape are useful and easy to put on yourself.

To look after your wig properly, discover our wig products, suited to each type of hair. And do not forget the wig accessories that make styling and upkeep easier. Choosing a well-suited wig gives you lasting comfort, a natural appearance and a style that really feels like you.

Differences between a synthetic wig and a human hair wig

A human hair wig offers unmatched styling versatility. You can style it, colour it and even use heat tools, thanks to its real hair texture. The texture is soft and its natural look is much appreciated for a finish close to your own hair.

On the other hand, it needs more upkeep and gentle drying to preserve its quality. A synthetic hair wig is made with fibres that imitate hair, often with a lace front base for a natural look. It keeps its shape in damp weather and does not take much time to style each day.

Its heat resistance is limited depending on the model, so check whether it can take hot styling tools. Its price is generally lower than that of human hair wigs. The woven braids inside some synthetic wigs give a good hold and help the wig stay secure on your head.

Natural hair wigs often have a sturdier adjustable cap that fits your size better. In the end, a synthetic wig is practical for simple everyday wear, whereas a natural hair wig gives you more creative freedom and a luxurious look. We offer both types so that you can find the wig that matches your needs and your style.

How do you care for a wig to keep it looking good?

Gentle brushing preserves the hair density and stops the strands from tangling. Use a wide-tooth brush made specially for wigs to protect the fibres and keep their appearance.

If you own a full wig with a natural hairline, simply wash the base with a mild shampoo without rubbing too hard, especially around the lace front so that you do not damage the knots. Always rinse in lukewarm water and leave it to air-dry on a stand to keep its shape.

Wearing an adjustable cap or an adhesive band during washing protects the shape of the cap and the way the hair is attached.

For models with an adjustable parting or a monofilament top, remember to reposition the parting by hand after each wash for a neat finish as it dries.

To keep your natural shades looking vibrant, avoid harsh products and choose a moisturising conditioner. Straight styles can take a pass of the straightener at a very low temperature, only for heat-resistant fibres.

Keep your wig on a stand or a foam head when you are not wearing it: this prevents creases and preserves the shape of hairpieces and made-to-measure models. When you want to vary your look safely and decorate your hairstyle, choose from our hair accessories: they add originality and easy upkeep to all your wigs.
