FAQ

The longevity of your wig will depend on how you care for it and how long you wear it each day. Using proper styling products, minimizing heat styling to only when necessary, and not sleeping in your wig will all enhance it's lifespan.

Typically with good care, you can expect your Silk Wig to last approximately 1-2 years, however some people may find they last even longer.

How do I cut the lace?

Our best tip, go SLOW! Remember you can always cut more off, but you can't put more back on. 

We recommend you use a smaller pair of scissors to cut your lace for precision and accuracy. 

1. Begin by using some clips and clipping all the hair away from the lace. This prevents you from accidentally cutting any hair.
2. Slowly trim around the hairline, starting at one ear and finishing at the other. 
3. Aim to leave about 1/4 - 1/2 inch of lace beyond  the hairline. If you cut directly to the hairline, you may find you have issues with the lace sitting flat against your forehead. 
4. Once you've made your cuts, try the wig on and see how it looks. From there, you can choose to cut more if necessary.

Can I use heat tools on my wig?

Definitely! You can style this wig any way you'd style your normal bio hair. This said, remember that heat tools do cause damage (just as they would your real hair), so proceed with caution. 

Here are some tips to help save your hair from damage: 

1. Keep your setting to a maximum of 300 degrees. 
2. Use smaller sections. This allows you to keep the heat on the hair for less time, therefore reducing the damage. 
3. Use a quality heat protectant spray. 
4. Heat style only as necessary. Most will hold a curl well up to a week or longer.

What products should I use with this hair?

We recommend high-quality, salon grade products. Avoid products that contain sulfates and try and choose ones that are for color treated hair. Remember, your hair is an investment and quality products protect that investment. It's worth it to spend a little more on a high quality product.

How often should I wash my wig?

How often you wash it depends on how long you wear it each day, how much you perspire and how much product you use in the hair. We recommend washing once every 1-3 weeks with all these factors considered. 

When your hair stops moving as naturally as it should, that's a good indication it's time for a wash.

Will I need to use glue or tape?

Nope! These wigs come with a special cap that hugs your head so you can simply put on and go. They are designed to be used without any adhesives, including tape, glue, clips, or wig grips.

Multidirectional?

Yes! Our wigs come with a full silk top, meaning you can part the wig anywhere on the top of the head just as you would your real hair and still maintain that realistic looking scalp.

At Silk Wigs, we do our very best to portray our wigs as accurately as possible. This said, we are unable to control the variances that can come from computer screens as well as different lighting scenarios. Likewise, many of our products are specialty colors and where they are parted or how they are styled can also influence exactly how they look.

We ask for your understanding with regards to this and know that there may be slight variances in how your wig looks when it arrives out of the box. Any return made in nature of this will still quality for restock fees.
