Why Real Human Hair Wigs Repair Matter

A well-loved wig goes through daily wear and tear, just like natural hair. Over time, knots can loosen, hair may shed, and caps can fray. Issues like bald patches can be professionally addressed to extend the lifespan of your Mandeville wig. But this doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. With professional repair services, your Mandeville wig can be revitalised. This not only saves you from the cost of a full replacement but also allows you to extend the lifespan of a beloved piece that you may have grown attached to. Mandeville London takes pride in helping clients feel confident again by restoring their wig to its former glory.

Mandeville London’s Real Hair Wig Repair Services

With over 50 years of experience in luxury wig making, we treat every repair with the same care and precision as a full wig creation. We can restore volume, fix balding patches, reinforce lace foundations, replace clips and more. Our wigmakers are specialists in replacing lost hair from shedding areas, fixing cap structures that may have torn, and reviving the overall shape and flow of the wig. We also offer washing, deep conditioning, and professional restyling to bring back the wig’s original beauty. Clips, adhesion areas and fasteners can also be replaced to improve comfort and fit. Please note, we exclusively repair Mandeville wigs, as our techniques and materials are bespoke to our brand and unmatched in quality. Your completed repair will be either recut on your head or for repairs where minimal hair has been re-added, cut on the block before being sent back to you renewed.

Common Wig Repair Issues We Fix

If your wig is thinning, showing signs of balding at the crown, or has sections of exposed lace, it might be time to consider a repair. Some wigs may also suffer from increased shedding, broken knots or dryness that impacts the look and feel of the hair. You may also notice that the wig doesn’t fit as securely as it once did. These are all common issues we can resolve through expert repairs. Even if your wig feels worn or brittle, don’t give up on it just yet — our team may be able to restore it and will always be honest about the outcome achievable in each specific case. If your wig or hair piece is beyond repair, we will advise you that purchasing a new piece may be a better investment. While synthetic fibres have their own set of challenges, Mandeville London specialises in human hair wigs only.

Benefits of Professional Human Hair Wig Repair

Extend the Life of Your Wig

Investing in professional real human hair wigs repair is one of the most effective ways to preserve the longevity, comfort, and appearance of your wig. Over time, even the finest wigs — including those made with high-quality European hair — can show signs of wear. From minor thinning to subtle shedding or small tears in the lace foundation, as with any garment, daily use naturally leads to wear and tear.

By choosing to have your real hair wig repaired professionally, you can stop small issues from developing into major damage. Whether it’s restoring volume by re-knotting hair into areas where density has decreased or reinforcing delicate sections of the lace foundation, professional repair techniques can breathe new life into your Mandeville wig.

Repaired real human hair wigs don’t just last longer — they also maintain their flawless look, movement, and feel. This means you can continue wearing the hair you love without compromising on confidence or comfort, whether that is a medical wig for chemotherapy or alopecia or just a day to day wig to boost your self esteem. For long-term wig wearers, this approach is both cost-effective and emotionally reassuring, allowing you to preserve a piece that already feels like part of you, rather than familiarise yourself with a brand new wig.

At Mandeville London, our in-house repair services are carried out by the same experienced team who create our wigs. Every strand is treated with care, every knot with amazing precision. Rest assured, your wig is in the safest hands.

Wig Care and Maintenance

Tips for Caring for Your Human Hair Wig

Investing in a high-quality human hair wig is just the beginning — to ensure it continues looking natural, feeling comfortable, and lasting for years, proper care and maintenance is essential. At Mandeville London, our handmade wigs and hairpieces are crafted from the finest European hair, and with the right upkeep, they can continue to look and feel as wonderful as the day they were made.

1. Daily Maintenance: Keep It Fresh

After each wear, lightly detangle your wig using a wide-tooth comb or specialist wig brush, starting from the ends and working upwards. This prevents knots from building up and reduces unnecessary tension on the hair strands.

Always remove any leftover medical tape backing if you wear your wig using adhesives, and place your wig on a wig block or stand to help maintain its shape overnight.

2. Avoid Sleeping or Swimming in Your Wig

We strongly advise against sleeping or swimming in your wig. Both activities cause excess friction, which can lead to matting, knotting and, eventually, hair loss from the delicate lace foundation. Removing your wig each night helps preserve the integrity of the knots and cap construction.

3. Wash Gently and As Needed

Human hair wigs don’t always require frequent washing. Aim to wash your wig every 8–10 days of daily wear, or sooner if exposed to smoke, pollution, or product buildup.

Always pin your wig securely to a rubber wig block before washing. Use warm water and gentle shampoos designed for hydration, always smoothing the product down the hair as opposed to lathering. Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends in a downward motion, avoiding the roots to preserve the knotting and the flawless look of the wig.

4. Drying and Styling with Care

Allow your wig to air dry on the block to maintain its natural shape. A quick, low-heat blast from a hair dryer at the crown can help evaporate excess moisture sitting under the lace.

Use heat styling tools sparingly and always apply a heat protectant. For heat-free alternatives, try Velcro rollers, braiding overnight, heatless curling methods.

5. Hydration is Key

Just like natural hair, human hair wigs benefit from added moisture. Use a lightweight serum or nourishing oil through the ends to prevent dryness, especially after washing or during colder months.

6. Protect from the Elements

Store your wig away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you’re heading out in strong sun, consider a hat or UV-protectant spray for your wig. In windy or damp weather, try securing your style gently to avoid unnecessary tangling.

7. Professional TLC

For a deeper refresh or a change of style, book in with your consultant for professional wig washing, cutting, or restyling. We also offer in-house repair services if your wig needs a little extra attention.

Have More Questions About Wig Repair?

Can I repair my wig at home?

While minor styling fixes are fine, real repairs should be done by professionals. DIY methods can permanently damage delicate lace or cause irreversible shedding.

How long does a wig repair take?

This depends on the extent of the work and the turnaround you require. Most repairs take 2–3 weeks, but we’ll confirm specific timeframes with each individual.

How much does a repair cost?

Costs vary depending on what’s required. Generally, the most costly repair work is a full hair repair, whereby the wigmaker goes through your wig hair by hair to replace any missing. We’ll provide a transparent quote after assessing your wig and give you as much time as you need to decide whether to proceed.

Do you repair wigs made by other companies?

We only repair wigs made by us, due to the specialist lace and construction methods we use.

Can I send my wig in by post?

Yes — we offer a secure postal service if you’re unable to visit our studio. Get in touch to arrange this.

Do you repair synthetic hair wigs?

We specialise exclusively in handmade human hair wigs and toppers crafted using the finest natural European hair. Because synthetic wigs are constructed using different materials and manufacturing methods, we are unable to repair synthetic wigs or guarantee the longevity of any such repair.

If you’re wearing a synthetic wig or a wig made of other hair types and are looking to transition to something more durable and natural-looking, our consultants are happy to advise you on our natural European ReadyMade and Made to Measure collections.

What causes wig hair loss?

Some shedding is completely normal in all wigs, especially when they are new. However, excessive shedding or bald spots may be caused by a few key factors:

• Sleeping or swimming in your wig, which causes friction and stress on the foundation and hand-tied knots and can cause hair to invert to the underside of the wig.
• Improper washing technique, especially if the wig isn’t pinned to a block or if product is applied using a scrubbing motion. Though some manufacturers suggest washing a wig is as simple as a quick swill in the sink, this can be very damaging so avoid at all costs!
• Using grips or accessories that pierce the lace base, damaging the knotting or tearing the lace.
• Over-brushing, particularly when the hair is wet, or using the wrong type of brush can damage the wig hair in the same way as your own hair.

If your wig is starting to shed more than usual, we can assess the damage and advise whether professional repair is possible to restore volume and coverage.
