How Do I choose the right size and shape?

Hair systems sizes and shapes are not standard. That's why you will need to provide an accurate measurement of your head. Also, choosing the correct size and shape will allow you to have a more natural look and a better fit.
 
However, first, we need to know how should we measure!
 
Hair length is the size of the hair from the roots to the tip, as the hair is straight. Curly and wavy hair systems are usually 1-2 inches shorter than straight ones (it depends on how pronounced the curl is). Wigs and extensions are measured differently.

Can I style my hairpiece?

Absolutely! Hairpieces can be styled similarly to your natural hair. Most hairpieces are made from synthetic or human hair, and both options allow for various styling possibilities. You can curl, straighten, or even trim your hairpiece to suit your desired look. However, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the longevity and quality of your hairpiece.

How do I choose the right color and texture for my hairpiece?

When selecting a hairpiece, it's essential to choose a color and texture that closely matches your natural hair. Many manufacturers provide color charts, allowing you to compare shades and find the perfect match. Texture-wise, opt for a hairpiece that mimics your hair's texture, whether it's straight, wavy, or curly. This will ensure a seamless blend between your natural hair and the hairpiece.

How do I care for and maintain my hairpiece?

Caring for your hairpiece is vital to prolong its lifespan and keep it looking fabulous. Here are some general care tips:

• Gently detangle your hairpiece using a wide-toothed comb or brush specifically designed for synthetic or human hair.

• Wash your hairpiece with specialized shampoos and conditioners, following the instructions provided. Allow it to air dry naturally.

• Avoid using excessive heat styling tools on synthetic hairpieces, as they can damage the fibers. Human hairpieces can withstand heat styling but remember to use a heat protectant spray.

• When not in use, store your hairpiece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably on a wig stand or in a box to maintain its shape and prevent tangling.

Can I wear my hairpiece while swimming or exercising?

While some hairpieces are water-resistant, it's generally recommended to remove them before swimming or engaging in vigorous exercise. Chlorine, salt water, and sweat can cause damage to the hairpiece, leading to tangling or discoloration.
