FAQs

We carry all the sizes from major wig manufacturers. There are more options available for average size, which means they fit heads above 21″ to 22 ½ inches in circumference. (Measure around your head where a hat would sit!) Wigs have adjustable straps and stretch so they fit a range of sizes. Some caps are open wefted and some are a closed stretch style cap. Most people are average size but we carry wigs in petite (less than 21″) or large size (22.75 to 23.5″.) It will be listed in the description if they are petite or larger sized.

The average life of a wig is somewhere between 6 months to a year or more, with proper love and attention. I have wigs that last longer, since I have such a huge collection (“addiction” my husband would say!) I can rotate my wigs quite often. I also am very gentle when brushing my wigs, and always start at the ends and work my way to the roots. Heat friendly fibers need heat on their ends or they will start to get dry and fray. The longer you can go between washing your wigs, the longer the life of the wig should be. Wash your wigs when you start to notice a buildup of dry shampoo or styling products on the lace.. I wash mine after about 8-10 wears.

Fill a basin with cold water. Pour one capful of gentle shampoo into the basin. Put your wig into the water and dunk gently. Let her soak for 10 minutes. I may add a little shampoo directly on the lace at this point, and use my finger to wipe underneath the lace to remove any makeup buildup. Then rinse with cold water. Rinse again! Always squeeze out your wig but never ring it out, or scrub the fibers. Fold her into a dry towel and press to absorb the water. I like to let mine dry by hanging her upside down in the shower, or on a wig drying stand. Drying my wig by hanging upside down gives me more volume.. which this Texas girl loves!

Most people wear a velvet Wig Grip to secure their wig. I sell these too! You don’t have to wear a wig cap, but one is sent with every order for hygienic purposes.

If you purchase a heat friendly wig then, Yes, you can.. but be careful not all tools are created equally so I suggest doing a test strand underneath. I also suggest starting at the lowest temperature to achieve the result you are looking for. Suggestions vary on what temperature to use from brand to wig brand, but in general I recommend you stay around 250 degrees to be safe, then can slowly inch upward if you need too. Do not exceed what the wig manufacturer suggests for your wig. This is not for synthetic wigs.. they cannot stand heat.

I sell wigs both online and in person! If you are just beginning your journey with wigs, it can be overwhelming, so I am more than happy for you to make an appointment and come into my studio to try on wigs and learn the basics! I have a small studio with space set aside for wig consults. I stock a variety of colors and styles, but when you reach out to setup an appointment, please let me know what you are looking for so I can be sure to reorder if I am running low on the style or color you are interested in.  The consult fee is $30, and is required to book your appointment. Appointments run an hour and a half. The consult fee is nonrefundable if you cancel within 48 hours of your appointment, or do not show for your allotted time.  The fee is waived if you end up purchasing a wig during your consult. Discount codes and Website Sale prices not available for in studio purchases.  I am appointment only, so contact me to setup a time to come in and “play!”  Virtual Consults available, just contact us!

Wigs come in three types: Heat Friendly, (sometimes called Heat Defiant) Synthetic, and Human Hair. There are pros and cons to all three types. Human hair are going to be the most upkeep and effort since you must style them each time you wear them, just like your real hair. If you are looking for a wig that you can style with curling irons or flat irons, then heat defiant might be just what you need. The drawbacks to this type of wig are that the fibers are slightly more fragile than synthetic, and they will require weekly styling with heat tools in order to reduce fraying ends.  Synthetic wigs are generally what I suggest brand new wig wearers start with. They are more durable and require almost minimal maintenance. 

It can be so incredibly difficult to guess color from the swatches. Every computer and device screen show color differently. The best tip I can give is to ALWAYS hit YouTube and search for the color. You can also find review videos on the styles as well, but color is the hardest to pick from the web swatches. YouTube is the best resource when I am trying to pick a color or style! Don’t skip this step!

Your insurance may cover a “Cranial Prosthesis” a.k.a. “wig” if prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons. We can provide you with proof of order documentation or receipts to help with your claim submission. We do not do the insurance submission but can provide any special documentation that you need, in order for you to submit your claim to your insurance company for full or partial reimbursement. Submission isn’t a guarantee as insurance coverage varies from person to person, but we will gladly help in any way we can.

Start with measuring the circumference around your head where a hat would sit. Hold the tape measure at your hairline in the middle of your forehead, run it around your head, above your ears, and back to the starting point at your forehead. Petite is anything under 21″. Average is where most women are, and that is 21″ to 22.5″ Large caps are 23″ and above. Some brands say they are adjustable from 19″ to 24″ in one cap size.  Every brand fits slightly different and has adjustment straps to help fit comfortably but you need to be in the ballpark first. If you are anywhere from 21-22.75″ then you can usually just adjust the average cap with the built in adjusters to get a proper fit.  If in doubt, contact us and we will be happy to help!
