Helpful Wig Answers Before You Buy
These quick answers support our Complete Wig Guides and help you understand sizing, colour, fibre type, length and everyday wig care.
View Wig GuidesHow do I choose the correct wig size?
Measure around your head from the front hairline, around behind the ears and back to the starting point. Our Wig Size Guide explains this fully.
What wig style will suit my face shape?
Different styles flatter different face shapes. Our Face Shape Guide helps you choose styles that soften, balance or frame your features.
Should I choose synthetic or human hair?
Synthetic wigs are easier to maintain and often more affordable. Human hair wigs offer more natural movement and styling flexibility.
Which wig colour looks most natural?
Natural-looking colours usually work best when they complement your skin tone, eyebrows and overall style. Our Wig Colour Guide explains this in detail.
What wig length is easiest to wear?
Short and bob styles are usually easiest for beginners. Longer wigs can look beautiful but often require more care and styling.
How do I care for a wig properly?
Use suitable wig products, avoid excessive heat unless the fibre is heat-friendly, and store the wig carefully on a stand when not in use.
