Discovering the Ideal Human Hair Wig for Your Style

Finding the perfect wig goes beyond a simple shopping spree; it’s a voyage of self-discovery and a celebration of personal style. Human hair ladies wigs should offer a natural appearance, feel, and move like your biological hair. Achieving this natural appearance also depends on factors like the correct size for a natural fit and blending with any remaining natural hair.

As a first-time wig buyer, it’s beneficial to visit a reputable wig retailer, such as Mandeville London and seek advice from experienced stylists for an appropriate style and comfort. Mandeville London offers personal service to ensure clients find the perfect wig, addressing their unique needs with empathy and individualised care. We’ll dissect this process to assist you in finding your perfect wig in London.

Identifying the Perfect Length and Texture

When it comes to wigs, there’s a wide variety of lengths and textures for you to choose from. Human hair wigs typically range from 8 inches to 20 inches, where the length indicates how long the hair will fall from the crown of the head after fitting. To ascertain the correct length, the hair should be stretched straight and measured from the roots to the tips. We also provide specialised advice for clients undergoing chemotherapy treatment to ensure their ReadyMade wig meets their specific needs.

You should also check whether the hair used in a real hair wig is single-drawn or double-drawn. Hair that is knotted from singly-drawn bundles still include all the shorter hairs found naturally in a growing head of hair, so the ends can look wispy and thin. Here at Mandeville, we work with only the most superior European double-drawn hair where all the short lengths are painstakingly removed to give your wig healthy body and gorgeous volume from roots to tips.

Bear in mind that curly and wavy textures can cause wigs to appear shorter than their true length, necessitating a longer wig selection to counterbalance this effect. Lastly, natural hair wigs come in a range of textures, enabling you to choose a texture that closely resembles your natural hair, including:

• straight
• movement
• wavy
• curly
• afro-textured

Selecting Wigs by Colour Variations

Colour plays a significant role in enhancing your natural features and personal style. Choosing or designing the right wig colour can highlight your eye colour and skin tone. Our personal service helps clients find the perfect colour to enhance their natural features. The secret lies in experimenting with diverse shades and colour blends. Never settle for a shade that is tonally flat as this is not representative of biological hair. Such exploration enables you to uncover a unique colour that compliments you perfectly or helps you to feel like yourself again, thereby enhancing your confidence and at Mandeville London, we are here to help you with that.

With our Made to Measure collection, we are able to source an exact hair match to your own natural hair, so the transition of becoming a wig wearer will be easier and completely undetectable.

Understanding Cap Constructions and Comfort

The construction of a wig cap is an often overlooked but crucial aspect in your wig selection process. It affects not only the natural movement of the hair but also the range of hairstyles that can be achieved. Hand-knotting hair onto a custom-made wig foundation according to the natural pattern of hair growth is essential for achieving a realistic appearance, which is our specialism here at Mandeville.

A custom lace wig foundation tailored to your head shape enhances comfort and is virtually undetectable when worn. Moreover, wigs fashioned from a full lace construction are notably more comfortable and breathable owing to the lightweight cap materials, making them suitable for prolonged everyday wear, particularly for those with hair loss. Our exclusive lace foundation material is lightweight, cool to wear and provides a secure fit that can only be achieved by expert wig makers. In addition, due to the handmade nature of our pieces and our attention to individual requirements, we offer both closed cap constructions and lace front wigs.

The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Human Hair Wigs

Upon finding your ideal wig, your subsequent step would be to maintain its high quality. Real hair wigs tend to have a longer lifespan than synthetic alternatives, offering better resistance to friction frizz from clothing and increased durability. To maintain the beauty and longevity of your wig, it’s crucial to understand proper care techniques. Our personal service includes providing detailed care instructions to ensure the longevity and beauty of the wigs. This involves proper washing and conditioning, safe styling practices, and appropriate storage solutions. On our “Tutorials” page, you can find videos explaining these processes step by step.

Creating Natural-Looking Hairlines for Your Human Hair Wigs London

The hairline of your wig plays a crucial role in achieving a natural look. At Mandeville we’re sure to find you a perfect match, as we offer both closed-cap and lace front constructions to suit each individual and their style. Integrating the wig or topper with your own natural hairline, where possible, greatly contributes to the authenticity of the hairline’s appearance creating the perfect look.

Shopping Smart: Navigating the Market for Real Human Hair Wigs

In the journey to find the perfect wig, the wealth of options available can be both a blessing and a curse. While the convenience and breadth of choice offered by online shopping are undeniable, the quest for quality, comfort, and style in a wig often benefits from a more hands-on approach. Here at Mandeville London, we champion the value of in-person consultations. Though it might be tempting to click and buy a wig online from a shop due to the apparent ease, speed, and often lower cost, the experience of selecting a wig, styling it, trying it on, and receiving expert advice on its care and wear is incomparable. Our personal service ensures clients receive the best possible guidance and support during their wig shopping experience.

We also understand that for some, making the journey to visit our studio isn't always easy. In such cases, we offer virtual consultations via video calling apps to allow you to speak to a consultant and get professional advice before committing to the trip.

The Importance of In-Person Consultations in London

Choosing a wig maker that offers in-person consultations ensures that you find a wig that not only fits perfectly but also beautifully complements your individual style and needs. Our in-person consultations provide specialised support for clients with all forms of hair loss, such as those undergoing chemotherapy treatment to ensure their wigs meet their specific requirements. The opportunity to touch, feel, and see wigs in person allows for a level of understanding that simply cannot be matched online or in a shop. Our experts at Mandeville London are dedicated to guiding you through this process, ensuring that your wig not only meets but exceeds your expectations in every way.

Assessing Wig Quality Before Purchase

When shopping for a real wig, quality should be your foremost consideration. The company's personal service ensures clients receive high-quality wigs that meet their individual needs. A high-quality wig should:

• Unlike synthetic wigs, real hair wigs should mimic the appearance of real human hair with a natural lustre and texture that feels authentic to the touch.
• Be comfortable to wear, featuring breathable fabric that prevents heat build-up and ensures comfort throughout the day.
• Demonstrate longevity, offering value through its durability and the ability to maintain its appearance over time.
• It should have a natural density that will enhance the wig’s realistic appearance.

Comparing Prices and Reviews for Wig Shops in London and More

While price is an important factor, it should not be the sole determinant in your decision. Comparing prices across different brands and retailers can help you find the best value, but always consider the quality and longevity of the wig as part of the overall value proposition. Our expertise in creating wigs for clients undergoing chemotherapy treatment ensures they receive the best possible value for their investment.

Customer reviews are invaluable in providing insights into the real-world experience of wearing the wigs you’re considering. They can offer honest feedback on the wig’s appearance, comfort, and durability, helping you make a well-informed choice.

Seeking Transparency and Quality

Opting for brands like Mandeville London, that are transparent about their traditional manufacturing processes can lead to better quality purchases. Brands with their own in-house team of wigmakers often have stricter quality control and are more likely to produce wigs that meet high standards of craftsmanship and ethical production. Here at Mandeville, we love to keep you involved with every decision leading to your finished real hair wig so you are in complete control during the making process as we endeavour to meet your every need. Our personal service ensures clients are involved in every decision during the wig-making process, providing empathetic, individualised care to restore confidence and address emotional needs.

Styling and Accessorising Your Human Hair Wig

Upon securing your perfect wig, it’s time to enjoy it! Real hair wigs can be styled in a myriad of ways to suit various occasions, from casual day-to-day activities to elegant evening events. We offer styling advice for all clients to help them get the most out of their new hair, including those undergoing chemotherapy treatment to ensure their wigs look natural and stylish. They can also be dressed up with a variety of fabulous accessories, from decorative pins to trendy headbands, to add a personal touch and additional style.

Remember to use adequate heat protection if you opt to use styling tools on your wig and if using clip in accessories, avoid piercing the lace foundation. Get the very best out of your new hair by sending it to us to wash and style in-house for all your special occasions! Simply give us a call and pop your hair in the post so our expert stylists can create your dream style for any big day or night.

We delve into various styles, accessorising tips, and strategies to preserve your wig’s style on our Tutorials page.

Maintaining Style Throughout the Day

Maintaining your wig’s style throughout the day can be challenging, especially when you’re on the go. To help keep your wig looking its best, it’s beneficial to carry a comb or tangle teezer for quick detangling and style touch-ups. Our personal service includes providing tips and advice for maintaining wig style throughout the day. To avoid any matting or damage to the knots around the base of your nape, avoid over-wearing clothing garments with high necklines or scarves that cause friction in this area. Selecting the right products is key for preserving the wig’s style for the entire day. See the variety of accessories we offer on our Accessories page.

Real Human Hair Wigs vs. Synthetic: Making the Right Choice

The choice between real hair wigs and synthetic alternatives primarily depends on your lifestyle, budget, and personal tastes. Our company's expertise in creating luxury human hair wigs for clients undergoing chemotherapy treatment ensures they receive the best possible advice and support in making their choice. While synthetic wigs cannot be dyed with conventional hair dye due to their material composition, including polyester, acrylic, and polyvinyl, human hair wigs offer a more natural appearance and feel, which is why we never sell synthetic hair products and only work with the very best European human hair.

Although human hair wigs may come with a higher price tag, their benefits often justify the investment. To invest in a human hair wig is investing in a natural look, versatility in styling, and a longer lifespan. When you consider these factors, the cost of a natural hair wig can be seen as a long-term investment in your appearance and self-confidence.

To facilitate an informed decision, we’ll examine the texture and appearance of real hair wigs, consider their durability and maintenance, and conduct a cost-benefit analysis.

The Feel and Appearance of Real Human Hair

Natural hair wigs are valued for their soft, natural texture that closely replicates the touch of actual human hair. Many wig manufacturers strip the hair which involves removing the natural cuticle of the hair before bleaching or dying the hair but at Mandeville, we never remove the cuticle and keep the hair as close to its original state as possible, giving it the most luscious healthy quality possible.

Real human hair wigs can be treated just like your own hair and offer a natural lustre that is often lacking in synthetic wigs, and their movement is fluid and natural, which helps in achieving a realistic look. Our personal service ensures clients receive wigs that closely replicate the touch and appearance of their natural hair. In fact, synthetic fibres are often too shiny which creates an unnatural appearance and can be a dead giveaway for wig wearers.

Durability and Maintenance Considerations

When it comes to durability, human hair wigs have the upper hand. They can last over a year with daily wear and many years longer with impeccable use and care, unlike synthetic wigs, which typically last 4 to 6 months of daily wear. Wigs made with 100% human hair and handmade caps can be more robust and may have a longer lifespan than those with machine-made caps that are often mass produced using cheaper materials.

The durability of a human hair wig is affected by factors such as:

• Wig cap material
• Hair quality
• Colour
• Length
• Frequency of wear
• Wig care and maintenance
• Styling methods

Our expertise in creating wigs for clients undergoing chemotherapy treatment ensures that our wigs are durable and easy to maintain.

Any human hair wig for women should exhibit qualities like minimal shedding and the capability to maintain volume after washing to be considered durable.

At Mandeville London, as we make what we sell, your much loved wig can be repaired by us after considerable wear and tear.
