Wigs
How to choose wigs
Material
Pick material first: human hair for realism, synthetic for ease, Futura for heat use.
Colour
Choose colour by need, with black and brown for subtle days, pink and red for play.
Sub-type
Note the sub-type, as listings span hair accessories, clothing accessories, and clothing and accessories, changing whether the wig stands alone.
Build
Check for mixed builds like silk or copper accents in the material list before deciding.

What's good
- Human hair wigs offer the closest match to natural hair, ideal for everyday wear.
- Premium Futura heat friendly synthetic hair keeps a styled shape but tolerates heat tools, unlike plain synthetic hair.
- Synthetic and faux hair versions hold bright colours like pink, blue, and purple without fading.
- Pieces listed as hair accessories or clothing accessories can complete a look without extra styling.
Things to watch
- Human hair demands the same washing and conditioning as real hair, so it is higher upkeep.
- Standard synthetic hair fails under heat, making it wrong for wearers who restyle often.
- Faux hair and polyester can look artificial close up, limiting them to costume or stage.
- Bold shades such as orange or purple draw attention, which suits events more than office wear.
Care & maintenance
Human hair
Clean human hair wigs with gentle shampoo, condition, and dry on a stand.
Synthetic
Keep synthetic hair away from direct heat to preserve the factory shape.
Futura
Use only low heat on premium Futura heat friendly synthetic hair when you style it.
Storage
Store wigs on a form or hook so the fibre does not kink.
