Human vs synthetic

Human hair wigs style like your own hair and last 1–3 years; synthetic wigs are pre-styled, cheaper and last 6–12 months.

Full lace, lace front, mono top, wefted and 100% hand-tied — each affects realism, breathability and price.

Petite (52–54 cm), Average (55–57 cm), Large (58–60 cm). Measure around your hairline for the best fit.

For alopecia and chemotherapy patients — soft caps, no tape/glue required, often GST-exempt with a medical certificate.

Can I wash a wig?

Yes — every 8–12 wears using wig-specific shampoo. Air-dry on a wig stand.

Which is best for daily wear?

A mono-top human-hair wig balances comfort, realism and lifespan for everyday use.
