A human hair wig can look, move and feel like your own hair, which is why so many women choose one for everyday wear. If you are buying your first, this guide covers what really matters, so you can choose with confidence and without any pressure.
Why choose human hair?
Human hair offers the most natural look and movement. It can be heat styled, professionally coloured, and worn in countless ways, and with gentle care it lasts far longer than synthetic. For many women it is the closest thing to having their own hair back.
What to look for in quality
Look for hair that feels soft and consistent from root to tip. Better wigs use carefully selected hair with the cuticle intact and aligned, which keeps it smooth and tangle free for longer. The construction matters just as much as the hair itself.
Cap construction and lace
A hand tied cap and a fine lace front create a natural hairline and a comfortable fit. HD lace is especially sheer and blends beautifully against the skin. Glueless caps with adjustable straps make a wig easy to wear yourself and gentle on a sensitive scalp. You can read more in our lace front wig guide.
Colour and styling
Because human hair behaves like your own, you can style it to suit you and have it toned or coloured by a professional. If you are matching a previous colour, bring a photo to your consultation so we can help you find the closest shade.
Longevity and care
With kind care a human hair wig can be part of your life for a long time. Wash gently and not too often, use products made for wigs, air dry where you can, and comb from the ends up with a wide tooth comb.
