Cutting And Styling Wigs

Always use a wig brush when you style your wigs - A normal brush can damage the fibres of the hair by pulling on it. Never brush your wig when wet. We recommend using a revitalizing mist in between washes to keep it looking good as new, but for styling we recommend a spray made especially for wigs, or a wig mouse! Many styles don't need much, but if you need to use products make sure they are just for wigs. We have a complete wig care kit in our store to make sure you can take care of your hair as easily as possible. A revitalizing mist is great on the lengths of longer straight wigs, as it helps prevent tangles. For height and fuller styles, use a wig spray and lightly style with a wide toothed brush.

When you buy a new wig, it might not be perfectly suited to your face. We recommend taking your piece into a stylist and having the piece trimmed and styled into a piece that suits you perfectly. Many wigs come out of the box looking great, but for an exact match a little extra work can make a world of difference. Thinning out the hair on the sides or front can give it a sleeker look and a more realistic appearance.

With a curly style or wavy wig, make sure you never brush it! The curls will fluff up and you will end up with hair like a poodle left out in the rain… It's not a good look! Style the curls with your fingers after misting with a little mousse to help the curls join together, and use a long wide toothed comb to pick at the roots and give it the height you need.

Straight wigs are extremely easy to look after, just work from the ends to the tips and use a revitalizing mist to keep it sleek and silky. After wearing your piece, make sure you give it a quick detangle, especially with longer styles where it can brush against your shoulders and back.

Never use heat on a synthetic wig unless you have a heat friendly synthetic wig or human hair blend wig. The delicate fibres can burn easily and melt. With a heat friendly wig, use a medium setting and work slowly. Hold the hair in place when you curl or straighten it and allow it to fully cool in the shape you want. This can take a little longer than regular hair due to the nature of the synthetic.
