1 Types of Wigs - Natural or Synthetic?

The first decision you have to make is between a wig with a natural hair a synthetic. Both types have their pros and cons.

🔹 Natural wigs

✅ Most realistic appearance - hair looks and feels like natural hair.

🔹 Synthetic wigs

✅ Ready to wear - does not require styling, retains the shape of the hairstyle.
✅ Lower price - great for those looking for a budget solution.
✅ Moisture resistance - Rain or damp air do not change the shape of the hairstyle.

✅most models are already heat resistant and can be styled, e.g. curled or straightened.

✅Additionally hair of systetic heat-resistant wigs can be regenerated using Gisela Mayer's Heat Protection spray, which we have on offer in the shop. In this way we can prolong the life of our wig.

(also applies to thermosetting synthetic toppers)

❌ Less durable - with frequent use can last from several months up to a year. However, it all depends on how you use it. Do we use the necessary cosmetics, care and wash often enough.
❌ Limited styling - Some models are not heat resistant and cannot be styled.

3 Types of Caps - Comfort Matters!

The cap, the base of the wig, is crucial for wearing comfort and a natural look.

👒 Traditional cap - straight, often used in synthetic wigs, gives the effect of more volume.
👒 Monofilament cap - with a thin mesh imitation of the scalp or an insertion of the scalp, gives a very natural effect of hair growing out of the head. (e.g. on a parting)
👒 Lace Front - Makes the hairline on the forehead look realistic, ideal for hairstyles with an exposed forehead.
👒 Hand-woven cap - Each strand of hair is hand-tied, allowing for any style.
👒 Hybrid cap - a combination of different technologies, offering good value for money.
