How to Make a Wig Look Natural: 7 Secrets From Our Stylists

The most common worry we hear from new clients is simple: Will people be able to tell? The truth is that a wig looks natural when the details are right. Here are seven things our stylists focus on to make a wig look like your own hair.

1. Choose the right cap size

A wig that is too big sits high and moves; one that is too tight lifts at the hairline. Measuring your head properly is the first step to a natural look. We measure every client before recommending a style.

2. Match colour to your skin tone, not just your old hair

Colours with soft dimension, such as subtle highlights or a slightly darker root, look more natural than one flat shade. We help you find a tone that brightens your complexion.

3. A realistic hairline and part

Lace front and hand-tied parts create the look of hair growing from the scalp. Small details, like softening baby hairs at the front, make the hairline believable.

4. The right density

Too much hair is one of the biggest giveaways. Most natural heads of hair are lighter than many off-the-shelf wigs, so we often thin out bulk to make the style look effortless.

5. A custom cut

Every wig should be cut on your head to frame your face. A personalized cut, especially around the face and fringe, turns a standard wig into your hairstyle.

6. Style it like real hair

Soft movement, a little texture and a lived-in finish look more natural than a perfectly stiff style. Human hair wigs can be curled and straightened just like your own hair.

7. Keep it maintained

Frizz, tangles and dullness are what make a wig look old. Regular washing, conditioning and professional refreshes keep it looking like healthy hair.
