Welcome to Ailsa’s Wig Style Guide! Whether you’re new to wigs or a seasoned wearer, finding the perfect style can feel overwhelming. At Ailsa's, Edinburgh’s trusted wig boutique, we’re here to simplify your journey. This guide covers everything from selecting the right wig type to styling tips for your face shape—plus how to care for your investment.

1. Understanding Wig Types: Synthetic vs. Human Hair

Synthetic Wigs

· Pros: Affordable, low-maintenance, retains style even after washing.

· Cons: Less natural movement, limited heat styling.

· Perfect for: First-time buyers or those seeking hassle-free options.

Human Hair Wigs

· Pros: Ultra-realistic, versatile styling (curling, straightening), long-lasting.

· Cons: Higher price point, requires regular care.

· Perfect for: Daily wearers or special occasions.

Why Ailsa’s? Our Edinburgh store offers both types, with handpicked human hair wigs like the Body Wave Black Wig Collection for unmatched realism.
