What is a hair wig?
A hair wig is placed on your head to provide the wearer with hair/hair style. Either man made/synthetic or human hair, is used to make a hair wig and each style will offer a different style of cap or base. Hair wigs are the best hair loss solution for women experiencing high hair loss patterns or complete hair loss . Whether hair loss stems from chemotherapy, alopecia, or genetic reasons, wigs allow women to feel beautiful and confident every day. Wigs are generally low maintenance and women who wear them remark on the amount of time they save getting ready each morning.
There are two types of wigs available, synthetic hair wigs (man made fibres) or human hair wigs.

Highly recommended to consult your Australia wig specialist to establish which wig is going to be the best for you. Your lifestyle and hair loss patterns can be major factors to consider. Generally look for a wig that is easy to wear, and fits well with no bagging at the back is the best wig for beginners. Ideally one with a lace front and monofilament top is an ideal choice.
Australia human hair wigs generally have a life span of 12 months when cared and looked after properly. We recommend replacing with a new human hair wig every year and keeping your previous human hair wig as a back up/casual wearing one. Synthetic wigs have a lifespan of 3-6 months before showing signs of wear with the fibres losing their original lustre.
No, in fact in some cases wearing a wig can help your biological hair recover and grow.
It is not recommended to sleep with a wig on. We recommend a soft cap if you prefer to wear something. If you sleep with a wig on you run the risk of pulling at the wig and causing damage.
Yes it is quite ok to wear wigs everyday. Whether you want to regain your old hair style back, or change your look every day, wearing a wig everyday restores confidence and identity. No damage will occur to your own biological hair and you can change your look as often as you like.
The main disadvantage of a wig tends to do with a correct fit and whether the cap is cool to wear. An ill-fitting wig will not feel or look right.
When wearing your wig daily we recommend washing wig every 8 wears, or every two to three weeks. When wearing less frequently wash every 6-8 weeks. Always use the recommended shampoo and treatments recommended by your supplier.
Most natural looking wigs will have a lace front, and monofilament top which allows multi directional parting. These two components are key for finding a natural looking wig. Although there are some very natural looking synthetic wigs available, Human hair wigs still provide the most realistic looking wig options.
