Purchasing a human hair wig is an investment in confidence and style. Whether you’re new to wigs or seeking an upgrade, understanding key factors ensures you make an informed choice. At Ailsa's, Edinburgh’s trusted wig boutique, we blend expert craftsmanship with personalized service. Here’s what to consider before buying.
1. Understand Hair Quality: Remy vs. Non-Remy
Human hair wigs vary in quality. Remy hair retains its cuticle alignment, reducing tangling and mimicking natural hair movement. Non-Remy hair, while cheaper, often tangles easily due to cuticle misalignment.
Why Ailsa's? Our wigs use 100% ethically sourced Remy hair, ensuring longevity and a natural look.
2. Choose the Right Cap Construction
The cap determines comfort and versatility:
· Lace Front: Creates a natural hairline; ideal for styling away from the face.
· Full Lace: Lightweight, breathable, and allows versatile parting.
· Monofilament: Mimitates scalp appearance for ultra-realistic results.
Visit Ailsa's Edinburgh store for a fitting—our experts will match you to the perfect cap type.
3. Select a Style That Matches Your Lifestyle
Consider your daily routine:
· Straight/Wavy: Low-maintenance for busy schedules.
· Curly: Adds volume but may require more styling.
4. Prioritize Proper Sizing
An ill-fitting wig can cause discomfort. Measure your head circumference or book a free consultation at our Edinburgh studio for precise sizing.
5. Learn Care & Maintenance Tips
Extend your wig’s lifespan:
· Use sulfate-free shampoos.
· Store on a wig stand.
· Avoid excessive heat styling.
6. Ethical Sourcing Matters
Ensure your wig’s hair is ethically sourced. Ailsa's partners with suppliers who prioritize fair trade and transparency.
