You know better than anyone else what is
right for you!
Keep this in mind as you read these tips.
Styles
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, & formail occasions.
Longer styles offer a more youthful feel, while
shorter styles traditionally are more conservative. Today, you
can find everything from mild to wild at every length. Like clothes,
the colors & accessories you wear say just as much as your
wig, so even, for example, a tapered mid length bob can be professional
at the office and edgy for a night on the town.
Colors
One
of the best things about wigs are the vast selections of colors
available. Match your own hair color or do something new - but
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.
We rent synthetic color rings for $20 & human hair color rings
for $30, which will be credited toward any purchase of a wig or
hair piece when you return it. You can also send your own color
samples to us for a perfect match. Still, it's not unusual for
a person with dark skin to choose platinum blond or for someone
with fair skin to choose red or charcoal black! This is, after
all, the era of color freedom!

On

or style the wig, just loosen by shaking and/or finger combing.
Care
Synthetic
Wigs:
-
Do not expose synthetic wigs to extreme
heat! Heat from cooking, steam, blow dryers, and
curling irons can & 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.
Human
Hair:
- Depending
on the quality of your hair, it may be more or less sensitive
to factors such as heat, brushing, coloring, and other elements.
Remy human 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 & colored (although we highly
recommend coloring & perming only on Remy hair). It is best
to have coloring and perming performed by a professional stylist.
- To wash,
high quality moisturizing shampoo & conditioner are recommeded.
Typically, washing once a week is more than enough. High heat
situations or heavy persperation 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 Remy Human 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.
