MissTresses Wig Care Frequently Asked Questions


How do I wear my wig for the first time?

1. Remove wig from the plastic bag. Gently remove the protective hair net from your wig. Give your wig a few good shakes to separate the fibres and give some body to the hair. Some wigs need to be shaken to release the pre-set styling.
2. Brush your hair off your face at the top and sides. If your hair is too long, you may want use pins to help keep it off and away from your face, back at the sides, you can also use use a wig liner or wig cap to keep their existing hair in place. If you don't have one try an old stocking or cut an old pair of tights in half, it will work just as well as a wig cap.
3. Hold your wig at the sides with the woven label in back. Place it at your natural hairline and slide it on from front to back. Adjust the wig as needed so the front edge is just over your natural hairline. Use the ear tabs to centre your wig from left to right. If the wig is too tight undo the hooks at the base of the neck and try again. If the wig is too loose move the hook up a level and retry the wig - repeat until comfortable.
4. Tuck in any stray hairs at the front, sides and nape. Use a soft brush to style.

Human Hair Vs Synthetic Fibre?

Some people don't like the thought of using human hair and with the current developments in fibre production the synthetic hair is of very high quality. Heat friendly fibre enable you to style wigs and hair pieces to your liking. Human hair wigs, pieces and extensions will last longer than synthetic fibre if carefully looked after but, for cost effectiveness, syntheic fibre is much more purse friendly.
