COLOUR GUIDE
Finding the Right Wig Colour
When choosing a wig colour, it can help to start with shades similar to your natural hair colour, especially if you want a softer and more natural-looking change. You may also want to consider your skin tone, eye colour and the overall look you would like to achieve.
Warm shades such as honey blonde, golden brown and rich auburn can complement warmer skin tones, while cooler shades such as ash blonde, cool brown and soft black can suit cooler undertones beautifully.
If you’re unsure, choosing a multi-tonal shade can be a great option. Colours with highlights, lowlights or rooted effects often look softer and more natural.
- Lighter shades can brighten the face
- Darker shades can create a stronger, more defined look
- Multi-tonal colours often appear more natural
- Rooted colours can give a softer and more realistic finish
SIZE GUIDE
Finding Your Ideal Wig Size
Choosing the right wig size is essential for comfort, security and a natural-looking fit. Most wigs come in petite, average and large sizes. By measuring your head correctly, you can find the size that feels secure and comfortable to wear.
- Petite - Perfect for smaller head measurements, petite wigs generally fit a head circumference of around 51cm to 54cm (20 to 21.25 inches).
- Average - Average is the most common wig size and suits around 90% of customers. These wigs usually fit head measurements of 54cm to 57cm (21.25 to 22.5 inches).
- Large - Large wigs are designed for head measurements above 57cm (22.5 inches) and offer extra room for a more comfortable fit.
We understand that choosing the right wig size can feel daunting at first, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. If you need help measuring or deciding between sizes, our team is here to support you and help you find the most comfortable fit possible.
HAIR TYPE
Understanding Wig Hair Types
One of the most important decisions when choosing a wig is deciding which hair type is right for you. The two main options are human hair and synthetic fibre. Each has its own benefits, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences and how you plan to wear your wig.
Human hair wigs
Human hair wigs are often seen as the premium option because they offer the most natural look and feel. Since they are made from real hair, they move naturally, feel soft and can be styled in much the same way as your own hair.
- Extremely natural look and feel
- Can be heat styled, curled or straightened
- Durable and long-lasting with proper care
- Can offer greater versatility in styling
- Comfortable for everyday wear
Synthetic wigs
Synthetic wigs are a great option for those who want convenience, style retention and lower maintenance. Modern synthetic fibres can look very natural, and many styles keep their shape even after washing.
- Ready-styled and easy to wear
- Lower maintenance than human hair
- Often more affordable
- Wide range of colours and styles
- Great for everyday convenience
CAP CONSTRUCTION GUIDE
Understanding Wig Cap Construction
The cap construction of a wig affects how it looks, feels and fits. Different cap types offer different benefits, from lightweight everyday comfort to a more natural scalp appearance and styling flexibility.
Cap construction plays a big role in comfort, realism and how the wig sits on your head. Some cap types are better for lightweight breathability, while others are designed to create a more natural parting or hairline.
Common cap types
- Wefted / Basic Cap - A classic and breathable construction where sections of hair are sewn onto strips, or wefts.
- Monofilament Cap - A finer cap construction that gives the appearance of natural hair growth from the scalp.
- Lace Front - A lace front wig creates a natural-looking hairline at the front of the wig.
- Hand-Tied Cap - Individual hairs are tied by hand for a soft, natural movement.
Choosing the right cap
If comfort and breathability are your priorities, a wefted cap can be a great everyday option. If you want a more realistic scalp or parting, monofilament may be ideal. If you prefer to style hair away from the face, a lace front is often a popular choice. For the most lightweight and premium feel, hand-tied caps offer exceptional comfort and movement.
