Understanding Wig Types: Synthetic vs Human Hair
Synthetic Wigs
✅ Affordable and budget-friendly
✅ Low-maintenance, retains style after washing
✅ Perfect for first-time buyers
❌ Less natural movement, limited heat styling
Human Hair Wigs
✅ Ultra-realistic look and feel
✅ Versatile styling (curl, straighten, colour)
✅ Longer lasting with proper care
❌ Higher price point, requires more maintenance
Our Edinburgh store offers both types. For unmatched realism, try our popular Body Wave Black Wig from the human hair collection:

Styling Tips for Every Occasion
Everyday Wear
Opt for lightweight, breathable wigs. Neutral tones like chestnut or natural brown blend seamlessly with most wardrobes.
Special Events
Bold colours or lace-front wigs create that red-carpet look.
Professional Settings
Classic cuts like a sophisticated bob project confidence in the workplace.
Caring for Your Wig: A Quick Guide
Washing
Use sulfate-free shampoo. Wash every 10-15 wears for synthetic, 7-10 for human hair.
Drying
Air-dry on a wig stand to maintain shape. Never wring or twist the fibres.
Styling
Avoid heat on synthetic wigs. Human hair can handle low-heat tools with protectant.
