Advice
What size would I wear? We sell wigs from several manufacturers and most of them are “average”. There is an adjustment on the nape to tighten or loosen the wig. Many people like to wear the wig looser than normal so that it is more comfortable. To keep the wig from moving, toupee clips can be sewn in. Or if there is no hair on the head to clip to, toupee tape can secure the piece.
Just wondering what average size it is. Compared to what?
There are basically 3 sizes of wigs: Large, Average, and Petite. All the wigs are adjustable, so average is a “one size fits most” type of size. It will fit anyone except unusually large or small heads. The best way to judge your size is to compare it to buying a hat.
How do I put on a wig?
We have a clip available on the web site and a DVD available with a step-by-step guide for you to look your best. If you do not put it on correctly, it may not seem to fit, or it might feel awkward or uncomfortable. Sometimes we find that people don’t pull them all the way down in the back or they pull them too far down in the front, or sit them on top of their head–like they are wearing a hat–which isn’t the correct way to put them on. Check out the video guide.
Do I have to style them?
Synthetic wigs are all pre- styled so all you need to do is just shake them out and finger comb them. The human hair wigs, however, are set with rollers at the factory. They are not styled here in the salon. What you see in the picture is close to how they look when you get them. However, they may need to be styled a bit since they have been in an unnatural position during shipment.
With synthetic wigs, the style stays even after you wash it. With human hair wigs, you will need to re-set the style–just as you would with regular hair.
What is a skin top?
Questions about bases are also covered in the web clips, and also available in a DVD format.
A skin top is a plastic looking scalp somewhat like a doll’s head, but more flexible. Some are partial and have partings already made into the skin top that cannot be changed. Some are full skin tops and can be parted anywhere.
What is a monofilament-top?
Mono-top wigs are made of a thin silky transparent fabric with hairs individually tied into it, making it look very natural and realistic. This can be parted in any direction and is far more adaptable.
How long will my wig last?
A wig can last from a few months to several years. Like shoes, it depends on how well you treat them and how often you wear them. On the average, a synthetic wig lasts about 3-6 months if worn constantly.
