Hair Textures
First things first, let's talk about hair textures. Hair textures refer to your hair's natural curl
pattern or lack thereof. There are four main types of hair textures: straight, wavy, curly, and
kinky.
● Straight hair is the most common hair texture, with no curl pattern at all. This hair
type is often low maintenance, as it only requires a little effort to maintain its sleek
appearance.
● Wavy hair has a slight curl pattern, with hair that forms gentle waves. This hair type is
often considered to be versatile and easy to style, making it a popular choice.
● Curly hair has a more defined curl pattern than wavy hair, with curls that range from
loose to tight. Curly hair can be high maintenance, as it requires more effort to
maintain its shape and prevent frizz.
● Kinky hair is the most tightly coiled hair texture, with curls that range from tightly
coiled to zigzagged. This hair type is often considered the most fragile and requires a
lot of moisture to maintain its health.
HD Lace vs. Transparent Lace
Now let's talk about lace types. Lace is the material that the wig is attached to, and it comes
in two main types: HD lace and transparent lace.
● HD lace is a thinner and more delicate lace type often referred to as "invisible lace."
This lace type blends seamlessly with the scalp, giving the illusion of a natural
hairline.
● Transparent lace is a thicker and more durable lace type that is often referred to as
"standard lace." This type of lace is typically less expensive than HD lace and is
frequently used in beginner-friendly wigs.
VS
Cap Size Variations
It's important to get the correct measurements for your wig size, as a poorly fitted wig can cause discomfort and damage to your natural hair.
To get the correct measurements for your wig size, use a soft measuring tape to measure
the circumference of your head. Start at the front of your hairline and go all the way around, making sure to keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight.
Note your measurements and refer to the wig size chart below to determine your correct size.
length check
Choosing the right length consists of many things. It is important to understand that texture plays a huge role in determining the length you want.
Below we've incorporated a length chart to help you make in informed decision on the length you desire.
