Before buying a wig

When should I buy my wig?

Hair loss typically begins 15 to 20 days after your first chemotherapy session.Because of this, we gently encourage you to select your wig about ten daysbeforeyour treatments start. This ensures your piece is ready and waiting for you, offering peace of mind exactly when you need it most.

What budget should I plan for buying a wig?

Wig prices range from €125 to over €1,000, depending on a few key factors:

  • Hair Type: Natural (human hair) vs. synthetic fibers.
  • Cap Construction: Meticulously handmade vs. machine-made.
What is the comfort index?

Terms like "comfort rating," stars, and framework refer directly to the quality of the wig's interior.These details determine how comfortable the wig feels on your scalp and how easily the model adapts to your natural movements.

Is the wig one size fits all?

Most wigs come in a standard size of 56 cm.However, don't worry if you need a slightly different fit—the built-in adjustable straps allow you to modify the size to comfortably accommodate a head circumference from 54 to 58 cm.

What are the different types of editing?

Not all wigs are created equal: they can be either hand-tied or machine-made.Hand-tied wigs offer superior comfort and better breathability. To learn more about how they differ, check out our detailed guide on wig cap construction.

What are the differences between human hair and synthetic fiber wigs?

While human hair wigs provide an incredibly natural look and the freedom to style them just like your own hair, synthetic options offer a budget-friendly alternative that keeps its shape with minimal effort.

What is lace front or cinema tulle?

A lace front features a sheer, invisible mesh border that creates the perfect illusion of hair growing straight from your scalp. This gives you an incredibly natural look, making your wig virtually undetectable to anyone else.

Will anyone notice that I'm wearing a wig?

Not at all! In recent years, synthetic fiber technology has come a long way.Today's advanced fibers deliver an incredibly natural look and feel, making your hair prosthesis look completely authentic.

Will my wig stay in place?

Yes, absolutely. The internal adjustment system at the nape of the neck allows the wig to be tailored perfectly to your head size.If the hairpiece still feels a bit too loose despite adjusting it, we simply recommend adding a quick stitch for a flawless, secure fit.

Can I wear a wig all day?

Yes, you can absolutely wear a wig all day long!Just ensure you choose a well-fitting, comfortable model, and remember to give your scalp a little breathing room by taking a few breaks throughout the day

After purchasing a wig

Can I style my wig like my natural hair?

Yes, but it all comes down to the type of wig you choose.Human hair wigs give you the freedom to style them just like your own, whereas synthetic models require a bit of extra care. To keep those fibers looking flawless, always make sure to use the right products and tools!

How do I store my wig when I'm not wearing it?

When not wearing your wig, store it on a stand or in a box to preserve its shape. Avoid folding or compressing it, and make sure it is clean and completely dry before storing.

Can I wear my wig in all weather?

Yes, absolutely! You can confidently wear your wig in any weather. Thanks to the built-in adjustment system, your hair prosthesis conforms perfectly to your head shape, guaranteeing secure, optimal support no matter the conditions outside.

Can I keep my wig in the shower?

While you can technically wear your wig in the shower, we highly recommend removing it.This allows you to thoroughly wash your scalp for optimal hygiene. Plus, keep in mind that hot water can easily damage synthetic fibers, shortening the lifespan of your wig.

Can I sleep with my wig?

We generally advise against sleeping in your wig. Not only can it be uncomfortable, but the friction against your pillow can also damage the fibers. Instead, we highly recommend switching to a specially designed nightcap for bed—it's the perfect way to protect your scalp and any natural hair while you rest.

What should I do if my wig is losing hair?

It’s completely normal to notice a little shedding over time, especially with frequent handling.However, if the hair loss becomes more noticeable, we highly recommend consulting a specialist for a professional touch-up or repair.

How do I care for my wig?

For synthetic wigs: Mix a shampoo specially formulated for synthetic fibers into cold water. To keep the fibers soft and fully protected, we highly recommend following up with a dedicated balm and conditioner.

For human hair wigs: Choose a moisturizing shampoo and treatment specifically designed for very dry or color-treated hair.

How long will my wig last?

The lifespan of your wig comes down to two main things: quality and care.Generally speaking, human hair wigs offer greater longevity than synthetic models. When treated with the proper love and maintenance, a high-quality wig can beautifully last anywhere from several months to several years.

How often should I wash my wig?

As a general rule, daily wig wearers should wash their piece once a week. Of course, this is an average guideline; you can easily tailor your washing schedule depending on your active usage and seasonal changes.

When should I stop wearing my wig?

Always listen to your own needs and preferences.Everyone’s journey is unique, and the most important thing is to do what feels entirely right for you. If you ever feel unsure or have any doubts, please don't hesitate to reach out—we're always here to offer personalized advice and guidance.
