Wig & Topper Questions
-
When I order, will the wig I receive be styled like the photo on the site?
Our wigs are stocked uncut and unstyled. Unless you select a cut and style option, your wig or topper will arrive in factory condition and will require professional cutting and styling before wearing.
If you choose our styling service, you can leave notes at checkout and email us inspiration photos. One of our professionals will style your piece accordingly. The price for full styling is currently $198; haircuts are quoted individually.
-
What kind of hair is used in your Mazali™ wig line?
We source Mazali™ hair from a small region on the North-Eastern border of China, close to Russia. The hair is naturally fine and silky, similar in feel to European hair. It is minimally processed: we color the hair but avoid heavy chemical processing. Second to virgin European hair, this is among the finest hair available, and it’s the main hair we use in our wigs and toppers.
-
How long does a Mazali™ human hair wig last?
With proper care, a Mazali™ wig can have an expected lifespan of up to 3 years. Actual lifespan depends on how often it’s worn, how it’s cared for, how much heat is used, and how much sun exposure it receives. Many customers rotate between pieces to extend longevity.
-
Are your wigs multi-directional? Can I change the part?
Yes. All of our human hair wigs are designed to be multi-directional. You can change the location of the part for versatile styling, similar to naturally growing hair.
-
Are your wigs made with Remy human hair?
Yes. All of our human hair products are Remy, meaning the cuticles are kept intact and aligned in the same direction. This reduces tangling and improves shine and durability.
-
Do you offer fully custom human hair wigs and hairpieces?
We do not currently offer fully custom-built wigs from scratch. However, we do offer local customization such as highlighting, coloring, adding hair, and advanced services like Lace Surgery. Contact us for a custom quote based on your needs.
Hair Extensions & Halo Questions
-
What is the width of the Fortune Halo Hair Extension?
Our halo hair extensions are designed with a top width of approximately 11" and a nape width of approximately 5". This allows the halo to sit comfortably around your head without interfering with your ears.
-
Are Fortune Halo Hair Extensions one size fits all?
Our halos feature adjustable hooks so you can customize the fit. You can tighten or loosen the hooks as needed so the halo sits securely around your crown. For best results, follow our “Perfect Fit” guidance in the blog or contact us for help.
-
Can Fortune Halo Hair Extensions fall out?
When applied correctly, the halo should not fall out. Your natural hair rests over the halo and helps hold it in place. Our halos do not use clips, which can pull on natural hair and cause damage. For extra security during activities like dancing or walking on the beach, you can add one or two bobby pins.
-
How are halo extensions different from clip-in extensions?
Halo hair extensions form a “halo” around your head, adding fullness to the sides and lower back. They are quick to apply, comfortable, and do not use clips. Clip-in extensions come as multiple pieces in different sizes and are placed in specific sections. They can be heavier and may pull at the hair, but they are useful for filling in specific areas like the top of the crown.
-
What are the benefits of Fortune Halo Hair Extensions?
You get instant fullness and length without long-term attachment or damage. There is no teasing, taping, or sewing. You can put them in and take them out whenever you like, avoiding expensive re-application appointments. They are ideal for clients who want a flexible, non-damaging option.
-
Will the halo blend well with my hair?
Halos blend best with hair that is at least a few inches below the shoulder and thin to medium in density. Very short or very thick hair can be more challenging to blend. During consultation, we can help you choose the best option for your hair length and texture.
General Tips & Advice
-
What is the proper way to store a wig when it's not in use?
Store your wig on a wig head to keep its shape and prevent dents. Keep it away from direct sunlight to avoid oxidation. Brush nightly from the bottom up.
-
How often should a wig be washed?
Wash after 20–25 wears. Over-washing causes shedding and faster color fading. If worn daily, wash every 3–4 weeks or as needed after cooking or strong odors.
-
What products should I use for wig care and maintenance?
Use high-quality shampoos, conditioners, serums, and heat protectants made for human-hair wigs. Avoid heavy or oily products that weigh down the hair.
-
How can I keep my wig secure throughout the day?
Use a velvet wig grip band, or sew velvet inside the cap. If you use combs or clips, ensure a snug fit. A properly fitted cap is the key to all-day security.
-
How can I maintain wig longevity?
Brush nightly from the bottom up. Limit heat styling. Never apply conditioner to the roots or knots—it loosens them and causes shedding. Avoid pins on the crown, and minimize touching lace tops to prevent fraying.
-
How do I know when it’s time to replace a wig?
When ends are overly split, the wig becomes thin and netting shows, color no longer takes during coloring, or the style no longer holds even after professional care.
-
How can I protect my natural hair under the wig?
Avoid clips and combs directly on your hair. Use a velvet wig grip or velvet cap to prevent friction and protect against bald spots.
-
How can I manage scalp irritation?
Our wigs have breathable, lightweight stretch caps that can be adjusted for comfort. In hot weather, consider lightweight scarves or caps as alternatives.
-
How do I keep my wig tangle-free during the day?
Use a tiny amount of Moroccan oil at the nape to reduce friction. Brush the wig inside-out from the nape upward. In dry weather, a deep conditioning treatment helps prevent knotting.
-
What should I consider when choosing between human hair and synthetic wigs?
Synthetic wigs cannot handle heat styling and have limited longevity. Human-hair wigs are more versatile, last longer, and offer natural movement and styling freedom.
-
Can I wear my wig while exercising or playing sports?
We recommend wearing a hat fall, band fall, pony wig, or lighter pieces for workouts. Full wigs are heavier and may shift with sweat and movement.
-
What precautions should I take in extreme weather?
Sun can oxidize color; wear a hat when outdoors. Humidity can cause frizz. Rain may require a wash and set. Wind requires secure clips or a grip band.
-
How can I reduce friction between my wig and clothing?
Bulky coats cause knotting at the nape. Before putting on a coat, split the hair over both shoulders. Friction at the cuticles causes matting.
-
What is the best way to travel with a wig?
Use the Fortune Wigs travel case to keep the wig’s shape. You may also use a wig box or a shoe box stuffed with tissue to support the cap. Ensure bangs or set styles are positioned correctly.
-
How do I make a wig more comfortable for long wear?
A proper fit is the biggest factor. Lighter-density wigs are more comfortable. Adjust straps or use a velvet band for better comfort.
-
How do I prevent wig slippage?
Use a velvet wig grip, velvet cap, or secure combs/clips. A snug cap fit is essential.
-
How do I choose a wig that matches my lifestyle?
Consider your daily routine, maintenance preferences, cap type, and desired styling options. For personal guidance, request a call back from a Fortune Wigs stylist.
-
How do seasonal changes affect wig care?
Summer: more washing due to sweat; sunlight can oxidize color.
Winter: dry air causes knotting—deep condition as needed.
Rain: often requires a wash and set. -
How do I maintain color vibrancy?
Limit sun exposure and over-washing. Sun oxidizes hair, and frequent washing fades color.
-
What is the safest way to detangle a wig?
Always brush from the bottom up using a wide-tooth brush or wig brush. Go slowly to avoid breakage.
-
How do I find a reliable wig retailer or stylist?
Choose a salon known for honest guidance, strong customer service, and long-term support. Issues arise throughout a wig’s lifespan—ongoing service matters.
-
How do I safely remove wig adhesives?
Use a professional wig adhesive remover and allow it to soften completely before removal. Never pull the lace. Clean skin gently afterward.
-
How do I prevent or address itchiness or sweating?
Keep the neck clear with a pony or bun. Ensure the cap fits properly. Use breathable caps and wash the cap area regularly.
-
How do I know if my wig needs professional maintenance or repair?
Bring it in if the cap loosens, lace frays, bald spots appear, knots loosen, hair thins excessively, or the wig no longer styles well. Repairs prevent further damage. You can send your piece to our Repair Center for evaluation and a quote.
Styling-Related Questions
-
What are some common mistakes people make when styling their wigs?
Using too much heat, brushing aggressively from the top down, overloading the hair with product, touching lace too often, and pulling on the cap or knots when the hair is wet.
-
How can someone safely style a human hair wig without causing damage?
Use heat protectant, keep heat tools on low to medium settings, never leave the iron on the hair for too long, and always brush slowly from the bottom up. Avoid tugging at the roots or knots.
-
Are there any limitations to styling synthetic wigs?
Standard synthetic wigs cannot be heat styled—heat will burn or melt the fibers. Styling options are limited to the preset shape. Heat-resistant synthetic wigs can be styled, but only with very low heat.
-
How can a customer achieve a natural-looking hairline with their wig?
At Fortune Wigs, our staff can map your personal hairline and add hair where needed for an exact match. We can also design features like a widow’s peak. Proper placement and gentle blending around the lace also help.
-
How can a wig be customized to match a person’s face shape?
Adjusting length, layers, part placement, and face-framing pieces can soften or enhance features. Oval faces do well with most styles; round faces benefit from length and layers; heart-shaped faces look great with side parts and soft framing.
-
What are some popular wig styles and trends for different occasions?
Sleek straight for formal events, soft waves for everyday wear, bouncy curls for Shabbat or simchas, and low pony or half-up styles for casual occasions.
-
Tips for achieving volume and lift at the roots?
Use a round brush at the roots while blow-drying, gently tease small sections, or use volumizing powder sparingly. A proper cut with internal layers helps maintain natural lift.
-
How can customers blend their natural hair with a topper or extensions?
Match color, length, and texture correctly. Flatten your natural hair at the crown, place the topper close to your natural part, and brush both together from the bottom up.
-
How can texture and movement be added without heat?
Use rollers, braiding, or twisting the hair when damp. Allow it to dry fully before releasing.
-
Tips for creating updos and elaborate hairstyles?
Use pins on the sides—not the crown—to avoid tearing the cap. Secure the base with a wig grip. Keep tension gentle and avoid heavy accessories that pull the cap.
-
How can customers maintain the shape and style between washes?
Store on a wig head, brush nightly, use light serums only at the ends, and avoid moisture or humidity when possible.
-
What tools and accessories are essential for styling?
Wig brush, wide-tooth comb, heat protectant, round brush, rollers, wig grip, gentle pins, lightweight serum, blow dryer with diffuser, low-heat iron.
-
How can styling products be used safely?
Use lightweight, alcohol-free products. Apply mousse or hairspray lightly and avoid the roots to protect knots.
-
How to create natural-looking partings and hairlines?
Use a monofilament or silk top for realistic scalp appearance. You can slightly pluck hairs (professionally) for softening. Avoid heavy makeup buildup on the part.
-
How can waves or curls be created without heat?
Braid the wig while damp, use foam rollers, or twist sections and let them air dry completely.
-
How to add volume or reduce bulk in certain areas?
For volume, blow-dry with lift and add internal layers. To reduce bulk, thinning must be done by a professional to avoid damaging the cap or knotting.
-
How to fix limp or flat-looking hair?
Wash and set, use volumizing powder sparingly, lift with a round brush, or refresh with light steam (performed professionally). Limp hair often needs a proper wash-and-set.
-
How to style a wig to suit different face shapes?
Round faces benefit from length and side parts, square faces from soft curls and layers, heart-shaped faces from side-swept pieces, and oval faces from most styles.
-
How to create the illusion of natural hair growth at the parting with a monofilament top?
Monofilament tops naturally mimic scalp. Part the hair cleanly and ensure the knots and fibers lay flat. A tiny amount of powder can help match scalp tone if needed.
-
Tips for creating natural ponytails or buns?
Keep the ponytail low to protect the cap. Use a wig grip for security. Avoid pulling too tightly. Tuck pins only along the sides.
-
How to soften the hairline on a lace front?
Use minimal adhesive, lightly trim excess lace, and avoid heavy product at the front. A light baby-hair framing (professional) also softens the look.
-
How to use heat tools on heat-resistant synthetic wigs?
Use the lowest heat setting possible—usually under 275°F. Test on a small hidden section first. Move quickly and never hold heat in one spot.
-
How to create multiple hairstyles with one wig?
A good cut allows versatility: waves, curls, sleek straight, half-up styles, low ponytails, or gentle braids. Use low heat or no-heat methods.
-
Tips for refreshing a wig without washing?
Use a light mist of water, gentle brushing, a tiny drop of serum on the ends, or a quick blow-dry touch-up at the roots for lift.
-
How to accessorize a wig?
Use headbands, scarves, clips, or decorative pieces. Avoid placing anything heavy on the crown to protect the cap.
-
How to transition between different wig styles or colors?
Start with similar lengths or tones, then gradually shift. A new color or style is best chosen during an in-person or virtual consultation for accuracy.
Expert Salon Tips
Choose High-Quality Human Hair
Always opt for 100% high-quality human hair wigs, toppers, and extensions. They offer the most natural feel, long-term durability, and styling versatility. Synthetic hair cannot match the movement or lifespan of human hair.
Professional Installation Matters
Proper installation protects your natural hair and ensures the most natural look. Self-installation is possible, but should be done with correct tools and guidance.
Maintain Regular Care
Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Detangle with a wide-tooth comb, always brushing from the ends upward to avoid pulling knots.
Safe Heat Styling
Use low to medium heat only and always apply heat protectant. Never leave the heat tool sitting on the hair. Minimizing heat extends the life of your piece.
Deep Conditioning for Hydration
Regular deep conditioning keeps hair soft and prevents dryness, breakage, and tangling—especially important for long wigs and toppers.
Store Properly When Not in Use
Use a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain shape. Extensions should be coiled and stored in a hair net or bag. Proper storage prevents tangling and damage.
Customize for Your Look
Professional cutting, coloring, layering, and face-framing ensure your wig or topper matches your features and lifestyle. Customization is one of the biggest differences in achieving a natural look.
Care for Your Scalp and Natural Hair
Wash and condition your natural hair regularly. Use breathable caps to prevent irritation and keep your scalp healthy.
Always Color Professionally
Human hair wigs require professional coloring. Never attempt to lighten a dark-dyed wig—this will damage the hair. Even refreshing color should be handled by an expert.
Correct Cap Size Is Essential
A snug but comfortable fit prevents headaches, slippage, and unnatural appearance. Use adjustable straps if needed.
Understand Wig & Topper Lifespan
Even well-cared-for pieces eventually need replacement. Lifespan depends on quality, frequency of wear, heat exposure, and maintenance habits.
Use the Right Tools
Use a wide-tooth comb for detangling, a round brush for blow-drying, and professional-quality irons at safe temperatures.
Reduce Shedding Through Gentle Handling
Be gentle while washing and detangling. Never brush when wet. Avoid stress at the roots and knots.
Prevent Tangles with Proper Care
Brush regularly from ends to roots, use leave-in conditioner sparingly, and avoid sleeping with wet hair. Coat friction at the nape is a main cause of tangling.
Keep Curls Defined
Use curl-preserving products and avoid brushing curly hair dry. Refresh curls with water and conditioner mix, then scrunch gently.
Don’t Overwash
Wash based on wear frequency and product buildup. Overwashing dries out human hair pieces and dulls color.
Use Lightweight Styling Products
Heavy waxes and gels cause buildup and weigh down the hair. Choose lightweight serums and sprays.
Extensions Care While Sleeping
Never go to sleep with wet extensions. Braid or loosely tie them to prevent tangling overnight.
Protect from Sun Exposure
Sun oxidizes and fades color. Wear a hat or use UV-protecting products when outdoors for long periods.
Swimming Precautions
Before swimming, wet the hairpiece with clean water and apply leave-in conditioner. Chlorine and saltwater dry and damage human hair. Wearing a swim cap offers best protection.
Know Your Hair Type
European, Asian, and Indian hair have different textures, densities, and behaviors. Understanding these differences helps you choose the right piece for your needs.
Allow Hairpieces to Air Dry
Air drying protects the integrity of the hair. Blow drying can be harsh and should be minimized.
Blend Extensions Properly
Extensions should be cut and blended while you’re wearing them for seamless integration.
Use Restoration Services When Needed
Over time, even high-quality wigs and toppers show wear. Professional restoration can add months to their lifespan.
Invest in Quality
Higher-end human hair pieces last longer, look more natural, and are more cost-effective over time.
Stick to Products Made for Human Hair Pieces
Regular hair products may contain harsh ingredients. Always use products specifically formulated for wigs and extensions.
Avoiding Long-Term Heat Damage
Human hair pieces do not heal like natural hair. Limit heat and always use protectant.
Refresh Curls Quickly
Use a water-and-conditioner spray bottle and scrunch. Avoid brushing through the curls.
Preventing Nighttime Tangles
Never sleep with wet hair. If you must sleep with the piece on, braid it loosely to avoid matting.
Flatten Natural Hair Before Wig Application
Ensuring your natural hair lies flat helps the wig sit smoothly and look more natural.
Adjust the Wig Cap as Needed
Use the built-in adjusters to avoid a cap that feels too tight or too loose.
Use a Wig Cap for Protection
Wig caps reduce friction, keep your natural hair tucked neatly, and improve comfort.
Applying Lace Front Wigs Carefully
Adhesive must be applied correctly. Misapplication can damage both the lace and your natural hairline.
Know When to Replace Your Wig
Most wigs and extensions last 6–12 months depending on wear frequency and care. Heavy heat or daily use shortens lifespan. Many clients extend wear time by rotating between pieces.
Customize for a Realistic Look
A professional stylist can thin, layer, trim the part, or add face-framing pieces to create the most natural effect.
Swimming With Your Wig
If you must swim with your wig on, use a swim cap to protect it from chlorine and saltwater damage.
Product-Related Questions
What are the main differences between human hair and synthetic wigs?
Human hair wigs offer natural movement, long-term durability, and full styling freedom with heat tools. Synthetic wigs are more affordable but cannot be heat styled (unless heat-friendly) and have a shorter lifespan. Human hair looks and feels the most natural.
How do you determine the right wig cap size for a customer?
Measure the head circumference at the hairline and behind the ears. A proper fit should feel snug but not tight. At Fortune Wigs, we help customers adjust straps and elastics to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
Can you explain the differences between lace front, monofilament, and classic caps?
Lace front offers a natural-looking hairline. Monofilament tops create a realistic scalp and allow parting in multiple directions. Classic caps are durable machine-wefted caps without the advanced scalp realism of lace or mono tops.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each cap type?
Lace front: Natural hairline but delicate.
Monofilament: Realistic parting, breathable, but higher cost.
Classic cap: Durable and affordable but less realistic at the scalp.How do you choose the right wig density?
We match density to the customer’s natural hair, face shape, lifestyle, and comfort. Fortune Wigs typically uses light to medium densities for the most realistic appearance and comfortable wear.
How does the hair type (European, Asian, Indian) affect the quality and feel?
European hair is the softest and finest. Asian hair is stronger, thicker, and shinier. Indian hair is naturally wavy with medium thickness. Each hair type styles and behaves differently.
How do you determine the right wig color for a customer?
We match tone to the customer’s skin undertone, eye color, and personal style. Lighting, natural preferences, and desired maintenance also play a role.
What are the differences between Remy and non-Remy human hair?
Remy hair keeps all cuticles aligned in the same direction, preventing tangling and increasing smoothness. Non-Remy hair has mixed cuticle directions and requires more processing, making it less durable.
How do heat-friendly synthetic wigs compare to regular synthetic wigs?
Heat-friendly synthetics allow limited heat styling but still do not match human hair durability. Regular synthetics cannot be styled with heat at all.
Can you explain the process of creating a hand-tied wig cap?
Each hair is individually knotted onto a soft mesh cap. This creates natural movement and scalp realism but requires more labor and is more delicate than machine-made wefts.
How does the ventilation method (single knot, double knot) affect appearance?
Single knots look more natural and lay flatter but are more delicate. Double knots offer stronger security and durability but are slightly more visible.
What are the benefits of a silk top wig?
Silk tops (like our Fortune French Tops) provide the most realistic scalp appearance, hide knots completely, and allow versatile parting without makeup on the part.
How can customers identify high-quality wig materials and construction?
Look for aligned cuticles, minimal returns, neat knotting, consistent density, soft touch, and secure stitching. High-quality caps have clean construction and lie flat on the head.
What should customers consider when choosing a wig for medical hair loss?
Comfort, breathability, lightweight caps, and soft linings are essential. Many choose silk tops or monofilament caps to avoid irritation. Proper fit is especially important for sensitive scalps.
How does cuticle direction affect quality?
Correct cuticle alignment prevents tangling and keeps hair smooth. Misaligned cuticles lead to friction, knotting, and a shorter lifespan.
What is the difference between single drawn and double drawn hair?
Single drawn contains natural variation in lengths, giving a softer, slightly layered look. Double drawn hair is trimmed so most hairs are the same length, creating fuller ends and a higher-end finish.
How do different wig combs and clips affect comfort?
Metal clips offer strong hold but can cause tension on natural hair. Velvet bands or silicone lining are gentler and prevent bald spots for long-term comfort.
What are the benefits of adjustable straps or elastic bands?
They allow customizable sizing, improve security, and help create a more natural, flat fit around the head.
What are the differences between machine-made and handmade wigs?
Machine-made wigs are durable and budget-friendly but less natural at the scalp. Handmade or hand-tied wigs offer superior movement and realism but are more delicate and time-intensive to create.
How do various hair textures impact care?
Straight hair requires the least maintenance. Wavy and curly textures need more hydration, curl-preserving products, and gentle detangling to prevent frizz or loss of definition.
What is the difference between a full wig, half wig, and 3/4 wig?
A full wig covers the entire head. A half wig adds volume while blending with your natural top. A 3/4 wig or band fall (which we offer) leaves your front hairline out for the most natural blend.
How do hair origin and processing impact quality?
Minimal processing preserves softness and longevity. Over-processing weakens hair. Origin affects texture—European is fine, Asian is strong, Indian is naturally wavy.
What are the benefits of wigs with anti-slip grip or silicone lining?
They prevent shifting, add security without clips, and are ideal for customers with sensitive scalps or medical hair loss.
How does wig adhesive choice affect wearability?
Tape offers gentle hold and easier removal. Glue provides stronger hold but must be used carefully to avoid damaging lace or your natural hairline.
