Here at Wigs4u, we’re well known for offering an extensive range of stylish, discreet and affordable men’s and women’s wigs. In fact, we’ve been doing just that for over 30 years. How a wig feels however is just as important as how it looks.

You’ll be pleased to know that comfort is just as essential to us as it is to you. In addition to choosing a high quality, great fitting wig from our selection, you can use the following tips to achieve comfortable wig-wearing, wherever your day takes you.

1. Choose your wig with care

Choosing a wig style and shape that suits gives people the natural look they need to wear their wig with complete confidence, but how can you up those comfort levels?

The size of your wig should be selected with care to guarantee a comfortable fit, especially if you intend to wear your wig on a daily basis. Wigs come in a variety of sizes, which makes achieving comfort easier than ever. Ordering a wig that’s the perfect fit will reduce itchiness and irritation.

When choosing your size, you’ll need to take a measurement around your head’s circumference, all the way around your hairline. Be sure to double-check your measurements before placing your order. Our head measuring guide and head sizes are listed on our website.

2. Invest in a wig cap

A wig cap is the ultimate accessory for wig wearers, whatever the story behind your hair loss.

Whilst a personal choice, wig caps unlock a number of benefits, especially when it comes to increasing comfort as Our Everyday Life details:

“Wearing a wig cap is beneficial in holding the hair in place when wearing a wig, whether the hair is short or long. It also prevents the hair from breaking when a wig rubs against the scalp. If you have long hair and need to hold your hair back, it is the wig cap that secures the wig or the hair in place and prevents slipping. Wearing a wig cap also helps to maintain the cleanliness of the wig, as it separates the wig from the scalp.”

Wig caps are extremely affordable, which means all these benefits can be harnessed at very little cost. Caps can also help to minimise the lumps and bumps under your wig for a more streamlined appearance, which is great news for those with thinning hair or partial hair loss.

3. Wash your wig properly

Washing your wig is an important part of maintenance. It’ll keep it fresher and more fabulous for longer, and prevent the oil and dirt build-up that can make your wig feel itchy.

After washing your wig properly, be sure to dry it thoroughly. Excess moisture will only increase scalp irritation.

4. Go for a shorter style

It’s not just your scalp that can become irritated due to prolonged wig wearing. Your neck, back and shoulders may also become uncomfortable due to increased contact with wig fibres.

Keeping wig fibres off these sensitive areas is a great way to go if you’re experiencing irritation. Try a shorter wig style like a pixie crop to ensure a stylish look that’s comfortable to wear.

Shorter wigs are fantastic options during warmer weather too. Switching up your longer wig for a shorter style will keep you cool and comfortable even as temperatures rise.

5. Try a synthetic wig instead

Contrary to popular belief, synthetic wig styles can actually ease irritation and increase comfort.

Synthetic wigs are more lightweight than human hair alternatives. If you’re prone to sweating, human hair wig fibres will absorb moisture to weigh you down even more. For light, breezy and less irritable wig-wearing, try a synthetic style.
