Are you worried about how to find the right wig for you?
There are bound to be many questions when buying your first wig. It's all understandable! But don't worry!
Here are some thoughts and tricks to make the decision easier.
1. First the cut!
Start with the cut of wig you want.
Usually, our clients choose a cut that they are already familiar with and that they are used to wearing without a wig. In this way, it is most certain that a person will get used to the wig faster. If you are a long-term wig wearer, you can choose more in terms of changes later on.
You can choose from short wigs to long, curly and bob cut wigs.
2. Wig size
Although medium sized wigs suit 95% of our customers, you will find large and small wigs in our selection.
Also, the wigs have adjustable straps that allow the size to be pulled a little closer or wider, ensuring a secure fit.

3. Wig material
If you are considering which wig to choose for your first purchase, you should first decide what material you want to wear.
There are synthetic fiber and natural hair wigs available. Certainly, you may have biases against both materials. It is true that both have their pros and cons.
You can heat your natural hair and add some curls for a change. When buying a natural hair wig, you have to take into account the significantly higher price range and remember that the hair is natural and you have to style it after every wash, just like your own hair!
When buying a synthetic wig, there is no need to worry about setting it, and the wig takes its shape again after washing. Although the difference in material is big, there are customers who only want to wear natural wigs - which is also understandable, because the look can really be much more natural.
But don't be fooled, synthetic hair looks really good these days!
Wig construction
Monofilament wigs - hand knotted wigs
Monofilament wigs have two main plus points - naturalness and versatility. Monofilament wigs use clear polyester or soft nylon mesh on the top and crown area to allow your skin color to show through and create a natural scalp look.
There are three types of monofilament wigs:
Hand implanted wigs
Hand implanted wigs can be made from either synthetic or human hair. Each strand of hair or synthetic fiber is placed on a separate mesh cap using a manual knotting technique. This process relies on handmade craftsmanship and does not rely on machines or mechanical stitches. A hand-knotted wig can take up to three days to make by a skilled craftsman, an intensive process that results in a high-quality design. It also allows the hair to move freely for realistic movement and versatile styling. Hand knotted wigs are of the highest quality
Hand knotted wig construction is the thinnest and most comfortable.
There are no seams, which means it's incredibly soft on the scalp and it also creates less density in the wig for a natural look. This wig design is perfect for women who are suffering from complete hair loss and want to avoid irritating their sensitive scalp. Hand knotted wigs are very easy to wear and keep your head cool and ventilated all day.
The price of such a wig is also significantly more expensive.
Machine made open construction wigs
These are the easiest wig designs to buy, but they are also one of the most popular types of wigs. Open construction wigs are made of synthetic or human hair fibers that are placed on stretchy ribbons.
As the name suggests, open construction wigs have just that – an open construction on the wig scalp that allows the wig to be more breathable and affordable.
These wigs are often more voluminous and dense.
Many wig wearers prefer weave wigs as they allow the scalp to breathe which is perfect for the hot summer months! wigs also have a feature called permatease which is located at the top of the wig.

Combination wigs
