What is a wig?

11:56 BTC 0 Comments




A Wig is made from either human hair or synthetic fibre or combination of both, attached to a net or polyurethane/latex foundation and covers the entire scalp from forehead to nape and from ear to ear. It can be constructed in many ways such as ready-made wefted or machine hand tied (off-the-peg), or made to measure and knotted (bespoke).

Bespoke wigs are generally made with human hair of European origin, with ready-made wigs of human hair being of oriental origin.  Within the ready-made wigs there can be a combination of human hair and fibre (synthetic) and it is not uncommon to have white fibre added to a human hair wig to give the appearance of a natural greying.
