Wigs For Women FAQs

What kind of wig looks most natural?

You have several options if you’re looking for a wig that looks the most natural. Look out for wigs with these features:

  • Human hair wigs are made with bio hair, so they’ll instantly feel like your own hair.
  • Synthetic wigs have changed over the last few decades to look and feel like natural hair.
  • Lace front wigs give you a realistic hairline because the hairs are hand tied into the see-through lace material that extends across the top front of the wig. Depending on the the style, wigs with lace fronts can range from across the forehead to extending to the ears.
  • Monofilament wigs refer to the sheer mesh fabric that allows the color of your own scalp to show through the fibers tied to the top of the wig. The hair is either tied or sewn into sections into the top portion of the cap. This allows each of the tied hair to be parted or brushed in any direction.
  • Hand tied wigs are where the individual hairs are tied by hand into the cap to create the appearance of hair growth. These types of wigs are also a great option if you have a sensitive scalp!

What is the best wig to buy?

There is no right or wrong answer on what is the best wig to buy. The answer is based on what features you would like your wig to have and how much you would like to spend on one.

  • If you’re looking for a more natural look, look at human hair wigs, lace front wigs, hand tied wigs, or monofilament wigs.
  • If you’re new to wigs or on a budget, consider synthetic wigs. Over the last few decades they have evolved to look and feel like your natural hair. Some wigs are even made with a heat friendly synthetic fiber that allows you style your hair with heat tools.  
  • If you’re looking for wigs that give you a realistic hairline, check out lace front wigs.

What is best to wear under a wig?

  • Wearing a wig cap or liner under a wig can help keep your hair tucked up and prevent the wig from slipping. A cap or liner also protects your scalp from the wig to help reduce skin irritation and discomfort.
  • If you find wig caps and liners uncomfortable, you don't have to wear one. Some people find that the wig cap plus the weight of a wig can get hot or be uncomfortable for those who have sensitive skin.

What is the most comfortable wig to wear?

The most comfortable wig to wear depends on your preference in materials and your lifestyle. Here are some example of the most comfortable wig to wear: 

  • Monofilament wigs have see-through mesh material that lets the color of your scalp to show through the fibers tied/sewn to the top of the wig. The hair fibers can either sewn or hand tied in sections into the top portion of the cap, allowing the tied hairs to be brushed or parted in any direction.
  • If you have a sensitive scalp, a wig with a double monofilament top is also good option because there is a covering over the hand tied portion for extra comfort.
  • Lace cap wigs are where the hair is sewn or hand tied into the lace material.  
  • Hand tied wigs are where the individual hairs are tied by hand into the cap to create the appearance of hair growth. These types of wigs are also a great option if you have a sensitive scalp!
  • Basic cap wigs are designed by sewing sections of hair, also known as wefts, into a thin elastic material. The open spacing around the wefts allows air to pass through for a breathable style.
  • Wearing a wig cap or liner will also help your wig feel more comfortable because it helps protect your scalp from your wig.

How do I know what size I need to buy?

Wig sizes come in petite, average, and large. In order to determine which size you need to buy, you need to measure yourself for a wig. You’ll need a head circumference measurement, ear to ear measurement, and front back measurement. Grab a flexible tape measure for easy measuring. When you’re done, compare your measurements with this chart to determine your wig size. 

Here is how you can get your measurements: 

  1. Head Circumference Measurement: In order to get your head circumference measurement, you’ll need to start at the center of your front hairline. Hold onto one end of the tape measure and follow down the head towards one ear. Make sure the tape measure is resting where the top of your ear meets the head. Next, take the tape measure and wrap it around the back of your head and line it up with your nape. Then, continue to wrap the tape to your other ear before returning back to your front hairline. The last step is to write this measurement down.
  2. Ear to Ear Measurement: Before you get your ear to ear measurement, you will first need to establish your “top of head” point. Place the tape measure at the center of your front hairline and measure 7” towards the back of your head. Where your tape measure reaches the 7” line, that is your “top of head” point. Once you’ve located it, bring the tape measure to the top of the ear where it connects to your head. Then, measure across the top of the head, making sure the tape measure is placed on your “top of head” point. Continue measuring to your other ear and record this measurement.
  3. Front Back Measurement: To find your front to back measurement, you’ll need to take your tape measure and start at the center of your front hairline. Follow down the center of your head and stop at your nape area. Now you can record this measurement. Next, wrap the tape to your other ear and then back to your front hairline. Record this measurement. 
  • Expert Tip: Be sure to measure your head and take your measurements twice to ensure accurate results.

Once you are done getting your measurements, compare your results with the guide below to determine your wig size.
