Frequently Asked Questions
Will wearing a wig hurt my scalp?
A well-fitted wig should feel comfortable. If your scalp is sensitive, choose soft cap styles and avoid pressure points. A wig grip can help reduce pulling and improve comfort.
Can I wear a wig during chemo?
Many people do. Comfort is key — especially if your scalp is tender. If you’re unsure, choose lightweight options and wear for shorter periods at first.
How do I keep my wig secure?
Most wigs include adjustable straps. For extra security, use a wig grip. Some people also use wig tape/adhesive (especially with lace styles), but comfort and skin sensitivity should guide your choice.
What’s the difference between human hair and synthetic?
Human hair: most natural feel, can be styled, higher maintenance and cost
Synthetic: holds shape well, easier maintenance, great everyday value
Can I return a wig if it doesn’t suit me?
Because wigs are hygiene-sensitive products, returns are accepted only if the item is unworn/unused and in original condition with packaging and tags intact. Please see our Terms & Conditions for full details.
