wig FAQs
>>>> HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE - what size is best for me?
Most wigs have an average fit (around 22 inches/55.88 cm head circumference).
Each wig has elasticated straps with hooks on the ends, that hook into loops at the inside bottom of the wig for a smaller fit.
// To measure:
Using a soft tape measure, wrap it all around your head, keeping it at your hairline from ear to ear. At the front of your head, position in the center of your forehead.
Small cap size is ideal for 21 inches (53.34 cm) or smaller head circumference, large cap size is ideal for 23 inches (58.42 cm) or larger head circumference. If you are in between these sizes, the average is the best fit!
*Individuals with long and/or thick hair may find the large cap size to be a more comfortable fit.
>>>> WIG CLIPS - what are they and do I need them?
Wig clips are heavy duty clips that help prevent your wig from shifting throughout the day. I recommend them if you intend to wear your wig for long periods of time. They also have the added benefit of keeping your natural hair tucked in.
The clips snap open, slide underneath your wig cap and into your own hair, and snap closed.
It is recommended that your own hair be a minimum of 1 inch length in order to use the clips. If your hair is shorter or you don't have hair, then skip the clips!
>>>> HAIRLINE - what is hairline customization?
On select wigs, I offer a hairline customization service - specifically, for wigs with a middle parting. This customization involves hand-plucking the hairline for a more realistic look.
The base comes with the hairline preset. In production, the hair is inserted into the 'scalp' piece in a perfect line, and is usually quite dense. Natural hair is not perfectly uniform, and is not as thick where it is parted.
By plucking hair by hand, I am able to remove excess density around the parting, as well as creating variation in the part itself, for a more realistic look.
This is an optional service that is available for certain wigs, so you can still select the original part if desired.
