FAQS

How do I properly measure my head for a custom wig? 

*Please make sure that your natural hair is neatly braided to the scalp or that it is a flat to your head as possible for more accurate measurements* 

Tools Needed:

  • Measuring tape (seamstress tape)
  • Notebook and pen for recording measurements
  • Mirror 

Step-by-Step Measurements:

  1. Circumference:
    • Wrap the measuring tape around your head, starting at your forehead just above your eyebrows.
    • Make sure the tape sits just above your ears and across the nape of your neck.
    • Note the measurement where the tape meets, ensuring it’s snug but not too tight.
  2. Forehead to Nape (Front to Back):
    • Place the tape at the center of your forehead.
    • Extend it straight back to the nape of your neck where the hairline ends.
    • Record this measurement.
  3. Ear to Ear (Across the Forehead):
    • Measure from the top of one ear, across the forehead, to the top of the other ear.
    • Ensure the tape remains level across the forehead. Write down the measurement.
  4. Ear to Ear (Over the Top):
    • Start from the top of one ear, over the crown of your head, to the top of the other ear.
    • This will give you a measurement of the width across the top of your head.
  5. Temple to Temple (Across the Back):
    • Measure from one temple (side of your forehead) across the back of your head to the other temple.
    • Ensure the tape is level across the back. Note this measurement.
  6. Nape Width:
    • Measure the width of the nape of your neck.
    • This is taken from one side of the nape to the other.
  7. Front Hairline to Nape:
    • Measure from the front hairline (forehead) down to the nape of your neck in a straight line.
    • Record this measurement as well.
  8. Depth of Crown:
    • Measure from the front hairline straight up to the highest point of your head (crown).
    • This helps ensure the wig has the correct depth.

How long can I expect for my HD lace closure to last?

Unfortunately, lace does not last forever. Because the material is so thin, it will begin to shed overtime. The timeframe you’re able to keep your lace before needing to replace it varies from person to person based on how much the wig is worn, if glue and other products are on the lace, and how well you care for your wigs.
For your convenience,  we do offer a closure replacements service under our wig care tab.

How often should I wash my wigs and extensions?

Our wigs and tresses should be treated just as you would treat your own natural hair. It is important to co-wash your extensions and wigs bi-weekly with a high quality conditioner such as Joico.

Step 1: Place your wig or extensions into cool water

Step 2: Apply conditioner to the hair and massage in with your hands (do not detangle while it is dry and before adding conditioner) 

Step 3: Allow conditioner to stay on the hair for 30 minutes to an hour

Step 4: Detangle with a Denman brush starting at the ends and moving upwards 

Step 5: Rinse with cool water and allow the hair to air dry completely

When the hair has become oily or heavy, this means that there is product build-up and should be shampooed with a sulfate free, clarifying shampoo such as Dove.
