Wigs FAQs

You have several options if you’re looking for a wig that looks the most natural. Look out for wigs with these features:

  • Synthetic wigs have evolved over the last several decades to feel like bio hair.  
  • Human hair wigs are made with real hair, so they’ll instantly look and feel like natural hair.
  • Monofilament wigs refer to the see-through mesh fabric that allows the color of your own scalp to show through the fibers that have been sewn or tied into sections in the top of the wig. Full monofilament tops give you the option style or part the hair in any direction. 
  • Hand tied wigs are defined by their cap construction. The individual hairs are tied by hand into the cap to give the illusion of hair growing from the scalp. These types of wigs are ideal if you have a sensitive scalp!
  • Lace front wigs have a thin, sheer lace film that stretches across the top front of the wig that have hairs hand tied into the material for a realistic-looking hairline. Depending on the style, wigs with lace fronts can vary from across the forehead to stretching to the ears.
  • There is no right or wrong answer on what is the best type of wig to buy. The answer lies in what your budget is and what features you would like for your wig to have. If you’re looking for a more natural look, check our selection of human hair and synthetic wigs with monofilament tops and hand tied caps.

A wig is a head covering that is made with either synthetic fiber or human hair to help hide hair loss or to make a fashion statement. Wigs come in a variety of styles, colors, and textures, just like bio hair.

Finding the most comfortable wig to wear depends on your lifestyle and preference in materials. Here are some examples of the most comfortable wig to wear. 

  • If you live in hotter climates or are going to be outside, basic cap wigs are a good option. These wigs are crafted by sewing sections of hair, or wefts, into a thin elastic material. Air passes through the open spacing around the wefts, allowing your scalp to breathe style.
  • If you have a sensitive scalp, consider getting a hand tied wig. What makes these wigs so comfortable are how they're made. The individual hairs are tied by hand into the cap, which prevents the fibers from poking into the skin causing irritation. These types of wigs are also a great option if you’re looking for a natural look! 
  • Monofilament wigs refer to the see-through mesh fabric that allows the color of your own scalp to show through the fibers tied to the top of the wig. These types of wigs have hairs either hand knotted or sewn into sections into the top portion of the cap. 
  • If you have a sensitive scalp, wigs with a double monofilament tops are a great solution because there is a soft covering over the hand tied portion for extra comfort.
  • Lace front wigs are where the hair is sewn or hand tied into lace material.  Not only do these wigs give you a natural-looking hairline, but they also offer breathability, too!
  • Wearing a wig liner or cap will also help your wig feel more comfortable by protecting your scalp from your wig.

A wig offers great advantages:

  • Coverage. One of the great benefits to wigs is that they cover your head to hide thinning hair or hair loss.   
  • Fashionable. Wigs allow you to try out different hairstyles and colors without damaging your hair or paying for a salon visit. 
  • Easy to wear. What’s great about wigs is that they are easy to put on and instantly transform your style in seconds.

What are the disadvantages of wearing a wig? 

  • Discomfort. Improper sizing can make the wig feel too tight and uncomfortable to wear. Wigs can come in petite, petite/average, average, average/large, and large sizes. That’s why it’s important to properly measure your head to determine your size. 
  • Hot. Wigs can get hot, especially if you still have your bio hair. In order to keep your scalp cool, try wearing light density wigs and basic cap wigs. You can also wear wig liners. Mesh lines are breathable. Headline It’s No Sweat Liner has moisture wicking to help keep your scalp cool and dry.   
  • Itchy. Wigs can be itchy from skin sensitivities, wearing the wrong size, or having low-quality cap construction. Wearing a wig cap helps protect your scalp from your wig and helps prevent skin irritation.
