How to Pick the Right Wig: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Decide on Hair Type: Human Hair vs. Synthetic

Human Hair Wigs:

• Most natural look and feel but higher maintenance

• Can be coloured, styled, and heat-treated

• Higher investment, longer lifespan with good aftercare

Synthetic Wigs:

• Pre-styled, easy to maintain

• Affordable, lightweight but also warm and usually not as easy to have a made to fit base

• Less flexible for restyling, but styles can last longer

  Choose Your Cap/ Foundation Construction

• Lace Front - Natural-looking hairline, great for off-the-face styles and a realistic hairline. However, delicate and difficult to apply.

• Full Lace - Most versatile for styling; natural look all over.

• Monofilament/ Silk Topped - Comfortable, realistic scalp appearance.

• Machine-Made/ Wefted - Affordable, best for simple styles.

  Find Your Perfect Colour & Cut

• Consider skin tone and undertones—cool vs. warm. Going multitonal and slightly lighter around the hairline can hide a multitude of sins.

• Work with your stylist to customise the cut for your face shape and lifestyle.

• Make sure you see a stylist who is comfortable and experienced with wigs—cutting and styling a wig is a specialist skill, and the right hands make all the difference.

  Get the Right Fit

  
  

• Measure your head accurately (most wigs come in several sizes).

• Adjustable straps and custom fittings make all the difference in comfort and security.

• At Beshert, every fitting is private, unrushed, and all about you. If you go for a full lace option, the entire base can be made to fit you.

  Try Before You Buy

• Always try on different styles, lengths, and colours in natural light.

• Don’t rush—take photos, move around, and see how you feel.

• Bring a trusted friend or loved one if it helps you feel supported.

  Ask the Right Questions

• How do I care for this wig?

• Can it be restyled or coloured?

• What’s the lifespan?

• What aftercare or support is available?
