• Style Selection

Choosing a wig is similar to selecting clothes in many ways.  Begin by asking yourself - "Is the style for work, special events or for casual wear?"  There are different styles for professional, social, casual and formal occasions.

Longer styles offer a more youthful look and feel, while shorter styles traditionally tend to be more conservative.  With today's contemporary brands and offerings, you can find everything from mild to wild at just about every length.  Like clothes, the colors and accessories you wear say just as much as your wig, so even a tapered mid length bob can be professional at the office and still provide you that 'edgy' look for a night on the town.



• Color Choices

One of the best things about wigs are the vast selections of colors available.  Match your own hair color or do something new - but please be aware that extremely light, dark, or intensely red colors can be difficult to match to all skin/hair color combinations.

Generally your eyebrow color is the standard to begin with.  For a natural look you will not want to stray too far from that color.  For customers with total hair loss, brow color no longer is signifigant, meaning a much wider palette of colors can offer a realistic appearance! If you are undecided about color, you can get ideas from any of our manufacturers' color rings.  Keep in mind that this doesn't represent every single color uniformly because each manufacturer creates unique color blending.

COLOR RING RENTALS
We rent synthetic color rings for $30, which will be credited toward any purchase of a wig or hair piece when you return it within 14 days.  For human hair color rings, the rental fee is $50, and we will credit you 100% of that amount if you return it with 14 days.  You can also send your own color samples to us for a perfect match.

• Upon Arrival of Merchandise

On Receipt of the wig, check only for size and color.  Do not comb or style the wig, just loosen by shaking and/or finger combing.



• Care of Synthetic Wigs

Do not expose synthetic wigs to extreme heat! Heat from cooking, steam, blow dryers, and curling irons can and will melt the hair fiber.  

Generally, washing once a month is sufficient.  To wash your wig, do not rub as you would human hair.  Instead, simply shake in a mild shampoo solution, rinse, and use lots of conditioner.  Let the wig hang to dry.  Synthetic wigs are pre-styled.  It is never a good idea to brush a synthetic wig.  To style, use these techniques:

For curly styles, simply grab the wig cap from the nape area and shake for a few seconds.  This will set the curls free.  You can use a pick to separate sections or tame wild hairs, but it is best not to pull too hard or push hair against it's natural direction.  

For straight styles, just run your fingers gently over the hair to smooth stray hairs.  If necessary, gently comb with a pick only.



• Care of Human Hair Wigs

Depending on the quality of your hair, it may be more or less sensitive to factors such as heat, brushing, coloring, and other elements.  Optimum Cuticle Hair is of the highest quality and can be treated very similar to natural hair.  Other human hair is more sensitive and does not last as long.

Human Hair can be brushed, curled, permed and colored (although we highly recommend coloring and perming only on Optimum Cuticle Hair).  It is best to have coloring and perming performed by a professional stylist.

To wash, high quality moisturizing shampoo and conditioner are recommeded.  Typically, washing once a week is more than enough.  High heat situations or heavy perspiration are enough cause for more frequent washings.  To achieve smooth styling after washing, blow dry the wig on medium heat.  Use fingers, rather than a brush, to smooth hair while drying.  With proper care, a human hair wig can last a year or more.  Despite its ability to withstand heat, human hair will loose vitality from excessive amounts of heat.  Avoid it when possible.

Many customers recolor their Optimum Cuticle Hair wigs after 3-6 months to regain the original luster and shine.  Like all human hair, even Remy hair loses some of its original color after multiple washings!
