5 Must-Have Features for Your First Wig

(Based on feedback from our Edinburgh clients)

  1. Lightweight Cap Construction: Avoid heavy wigs that cause discomfort.
  2. Forgiving Bangs or Fringe: Conceals the hairline for instant realism.
  3. Shoulder-Length (16"-22"): Easier to style than very long wigs.
  4. Natural Colour Tones: Light browns, blondes, or soft ombres blend seamlessly.
  5. Heat-Friendly Synthetic Fibre: Holds style without daily fuss – perfect for Edinburgh’s changeable weather!
