The Susan is a 28-inch body wave lace front wig in a brown-black shade from Ailsa's Wigs. This is one of our longest wigs and sits firmly in our premium synthetic range. The brown-black colour is a dark brown that reads as near-black in low light but shows its warm brown tones in daylight and under warm indoor lighting. At 28 inches, the body wave texture creates a cascading, flowing effect that shorter wigs simply cannot achieve. The lace front cap construction gives a realistic hairline that blends with your skin. Priced at £169.49, down from £225.99.

Who Is This Wig For?
The Susan fills a specific gap: long, dark hair that is not black. Many customers looking for long dark wigs find that true black (#1 or #1B) looks too flat or too severe against their skin. The Susan's brown-black shade adds warmth without being obviously brown — it reads as dark hair with life in it, particularly in natural light. If your own hair is naturally dark brown, this is a close match that will not look jarring at the roots where the wig meets your scalp. The 28-inch body wave combination gives substantial length with texture that prevents the hair from looking like a curtain. This is a popular choice for customers who want long, natural-looking hair for daily wear or for events where they want to make an impression.
Styling Tips
At 28 inches, the main care consideration is preventing tangles. Brush the wig before and after each wear with a wide-tooth comb, starting from the tips and working up. The body wave texture can flatten where the hair sits against your back — periodically lift the back section and give it a shake during the day to redistribute the waves. When washing, do not bunch or wring the hair. Instead, hold the wig under running cool water and let the shampoo rinse out in the direction of the hair flow. Lay flat on a towel to dry, or hang vertically from a tall wig stand. Wash every 8-12 wears with synthetic wig shampoo.
