How to Choose Your First Wig

Buying your first unit can feel like learning a new language. It isn't. There are really only four decisions to make, and once you understand them the rest is personal taste.

Start with cap construction. A lace front gives you a natural hairline and side-to-side parting. A full lace cap lets you wear updos. A U-part uses a little of your own hair to blend, with no glue at all — often the kindest place to begin.

Next, density. 150% sits close to most people's natural hair. 180% reads full and glamorous. 200% is a statement. If you are unsure, 150–180% flatters nearly everyone.

Then length. Measure from your crown down; 18 inches usually falls just past the bust. Finally, budget honestly — one well-made Virgin Remy unit will outlast three cheaper ones.

Still unsure? Book a virtual consultation and a specialist will walk you through it on a video call, free of charge.
