Mazali Basic Wig 16"

One of a kind. Every listing in Fortune Pre-Owned is a single physical piece that belonged to someone before you. There is no second one in another color or another length — what is on this page is what exists. When it sells, the listing closes.

Inspected in our own salon. Each piece is evaluated by a Fortune stylist before it is listed: the cap, the knots, the density, the condition of the ends. What we find is written into the description and the facts panel on this page rather than smoothed over. If a piece has wear, we say where.

Cleaned and processed before it is photographed. Pieces are cleaned and processed in the salon, then photographed, so the images you are looking at show the piece as it is now.

Priced against what it is. A pre-owned price reflects the piece's brand, construction, length and condition — not a discount off a piece you are not buying.

Washing. How often you wash depends on how you wear it. If you wear it once or twice a week, every three months is usually plenty. If you wear it every day, plan on about every six weeks — sooner if it feels heavy with product or stops smelling fresh.

How to wash it. Never soak it. Brush it out while it's dry, starting at the ends. Hold it by the cap under cool to lukewarm running water, from the top down to the ends. Smooth a sulfate-free shampoo downward — no rubbing — and rinse until the water runs clear. Put conditioner on the ends only, never on the top or the knots, and rinse the same way.

Drying and heat. Press the water out with a towel — never wring it. Dry it on a wig stand, or blow-dry on medium, pointing down. When you do use heat, keep it moderate and always use a protectant: human hair cannot repair itself the way growing hair does, so heat damage is permanent.

Brushing. Brush only when it's dry. Start at the ends and work upward with a loop or soft-bristle brush, holding the hair above where you are brushing so you are not pulling at the knots. When it's wet, use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.

Storage and sleep. Store on a stand or in its box so the cap keeps its shape — never folded in a drawer. Do not sleep in it if you can avoid it; if you must, loosely braid it first.

When to bring it in. If the part starts to widen, the hair feels dry at the ends no matter what you do, or the cap has loosened, that is the moment to call us rather than wait. Most of what we see is easy to correct early and expensive to correct late.

Is this really the only one? Yes. Pre-Owned pieces are single units. There is no restock and no second size — the piece on this page is the piece.

What is it made of, and who made it? Whatever we could establish is in the facts panel and the description on this page. We list the brand when the brand is known and say so when it is not, rather than guess.

Can I return it? Yes, within 10 days of receiving it, as long as it's unworn and unaltered. The full terms are in the buy panel above.

Does it come with the 6 months of free basic repairs? No — those come with new wigs and toppers. If a pre-owned piece ever needs work, send it to our salon and we'll quote the repair once we've seen it.

Does it come with the free first wash and set? Yes. Your first complimentary wash and set is included with Fortune Pre-Owned. Your complimentary wash-and-set coupon will be emailed to you after your purchase.

Can you cut and style it for me? We can. We confirm every detail with you in writing before any work begins, because a cut can't be undone and work we've done can't be refunded.

Can I consign it later? Yes. The terms are in the buy panel above.
