Yes, and there are two ways to do it:How to sleep in your Wig: With or Without a BonnetIf you love the feeling of hair and want to keep it close even while you sleep, read on for tips on sleeping in your wig directly. However, if you'll save time in the morning and prefer a quick wake-up routine, using a bonnet to protect your wig overnight might be the perfect solution.Sleeping in a wig Before you settle in for the night, take a little time to gently detangle your wig with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. It can be tempting to go straight to sleep, but putting the hair into a loose, low braid or a very loose ponytail or simply separating the strands can prevent tangles while you sleep. We also recommend using a satin or silk pillowcase. These materials are much kinder to your hair than cotton and can help reduce friction, minimizing knots and frizz. Taking these small steps can help you wake up feeling great!Helpful Links Sleeping in your Wig Video TutorialProduct Links: Satin or Silk PillowcasesSleeping in a wig with a bonnet For those who prefer to sleep with a bonnet, this method offers added protection for the wig. It is a good idea if you want to style your hair the night before and get ready quickly. Using a satin or silk bonnet is recommended for the best protection. This method is particularly beneficial for longer wigs or those with more intricate styles.Helpful Links Sleeping in your wig with a bonnet Video TutorialProduct Links: Satin or Silk BonnetsSleeping in a wig for wild sleepers If you have concerns about your bonnet or wig coming off during sleep, use the stocking cap method. It may not be visually appealing, but it is effective.Helpful Links Stocking Cap Method Video TutorialProduct Links: Stocking CapTip: If you plan to sleep in your wig regularly, especially for aesthetic reasons, opting for a comfortable headband wig or a less expensive wig might be a practical choice to preserve the quality of your more premium wigs. Are full lace wigs a good option for people experiencing hair loss? Yes, it may be the best option, mainly if you are unfamiliar with the feel of weft tracks. A full hand-tied wig will offer the most natural feel and movement throughout your head, mimicking how natural hair flows and moves.

What color options are available for customization? Can I provide a specific color sample? The answer to this expanded Q24 would then cover: A. Your General Stock Color Options: Briefly describe how customers can see the range of colors you offer (e.g., link to color charts, mention that specific textures like coily have limited palettes as detailed in Q4 or on product pages). B. Custom Color Matching: Explain your process if you offer custom color matching performed by your team. C. Guidelines for Customers Considering Dyeing a Wig Themselves (This is the critical part): Human Hair Confirmation: Start by confirming your wigs (that are candidates for dyeing) are human hair. Dyeable Candidates - The "Natural Dark Brown" Rule: Clearly state that only your stock wigs originally purchased in the "Natural Dark Brown" color are suitable candidates for dyeing by a customer or their stylist. (Specify if "Natural Dark Brown" is available for all textures or primarily for straight/wavy). Wigs NOT To Be Dyed by Customers: Coily Textures (and other limited palette wigs): Explicitly state that textures like coily (and any others that come only in specific, pre-set, limited colors) should NOT be dyed or re-colored by customers. Explain this is because they are already color-processed to achieve those shades, and attempting to dye them further will likely lead to damage. All Other Pre-Colored Wigs: Reiterate that any wig purchased in a color other than "Natural Dark Brown" has already been color-processed and must not be dyed or re-colored. Previously Dyed Wigs: No wig that has already been dyed once by a customer (even if it was originally "Natural Dark Brown") should be dyed again. If Dyeing a Suitable "Natural Dark Brown" Stock Wig: Professional Help is Essential: Strongly recommend that any dyeing must be performed by a professional hairstylist experienced with coloring human hair wigs. Mandatory Strand Test: Emphasize its importance before coloring the entire wig. Risks: Briefly mention inherent risks. Your Disclaimer: Your company's position on liability.

HOW to MEASURE your HEAD FOR A WIG

Learn the exact measurements needed for ordering your perfect-fitting wig. 

What You'll Need to Measure Your Head :

Soft measuring tape (fabric/sewing tape)

Pen and paper to record measurements

Hair clips or ties to secure your hair flat against your head (if you have hair)

A friend to help (recommended but not required)

Mirror (if measuring yourself)

LET'S START MEASURING

Take each measurement twice to verify.

If you have some hair, flatten it as much as possible for accurate measurements

        STEP 1

how to measure the circumference of your head

Circumference: Place the measuring tape around your head, starting at your hairline in front, going behind your ear,
around the back of your head at the nape of your neck, behind your other ear, and back to your front hairline. This should be about 21-24 inches for most adults.

 STEP 2


Front to Back: Start at your front hairline (center of forehead) and measure back over the crown to where your hair ends

STEP 3   

 

Side to Side across your forehead: Measure from the hairline just above one ear, straight across the front of your forehead, to the hairline just above the other ear

STEP 4   

    • Side to Side Over Top: Measure from the hairline just above one ear, going up and over the very top of your head, to the hairline just above the other ear.

STEP 5 


 Temple to Temple Across the back of your head: Start at your temple (where your hairline begins in front of your ear), go around the back of your head above the nape, and end at the other temple

STEP 6 

 

Measure the width of your hairline across the bottom at the back of your neck.
