What are the best long wigs available?
When picking out a new wig, everyone’s preference is unique, making it impossible to classify any of our long wigs as ‘the best.’ For instance, if you require something that is easy to maintain, you may enjoy a synthetic long hair wig such as the Josephine Wig by Natural Image. However, if heat-styling is important to you, a human hair or heat-friendly long wig is likely a better choice. Don’t forget to filter your search by popularity if you’re keen to see which wigs are customer favourites at the moment.
Here are 5 best-selling long wig styles from Joseph’s Wigs to get you started!
How to style long wigs
Long wigs can be styled in a plethora of different ways, meaning you can change up your look whenever you like. Human hair wigs are particularly versatile as they can be heat-styled, but synthetic wigs can also be styled in creative ways, including heatless curling methods.
Our top tips for styling your long wig:
- Style your wig when it’s completely dry.
- If you’re using heat, aim to use a low temperature to ensure you’re not applying heat at its hottest and damaging the wig.
- If you have a synthetic headpiece, use a wire wig brush to avoid damaging your locks.
- Take advantage of a styling head so you can see how the wig looks from all angles.

Can long wigs be heat-styled or curled?
One of the greatest benefits of investing in a human hair wig is that they can be heat-styled in any way you choose, whether that be curled, straightened or blow dried. However, to keep your long wig looking it’s best, minimise heat usage where possible, and always use the correct wig maintenance products.
If you prefer the low maintenance appeal of a synthetic wig, you may prefer to pick out a heat-friendly long wig, such as the Spellbound Wig from the Orchid Collection. Wigs of this kind use heat friendly synthetic fibre to ensure numerous styling options.

Are there any affordable long wig options?
Our long wigs cost anything from £70 to £3000, meaning there’s a long wig to suit every budget. Synthetic wigs tend to be less expensive as they are constructed using fibre wig technology and have a shorter life span than their human hair counterparts. However, synthetic wigs can still last up to 6 months when worn daily, and add a seemingly natural, high-quality touch.

How to care for long wigs
As with any wig, maintaining your long wig correctly is vital for its longevity, and maintaining that initial volume and bounce.
With a full head of locks, it can be tempting to grab your heat tools and have a play. Yes, human hair wigs are far more durable than fibre wigs when it comes to dealing with heat, but, just like biological hair, heat can still dry the hair out and lead to all sorts of problems. So, try and minimise heat where you can and go au natural.
Both real hair wigs and synthetic wigs require different maintenance products than that of biological hair. The harsh chemicals in regular shampoos and conditioners can cause irreversible damage and cause your hair to look frizzy, matted and unnaturally shiny. Instead, invest in the products that are right for your wig type. For human hair wigs we recommend the Ellen Wille Human Hair Wig Care Set and for synthetic wigs, the Ellen Wille Fibre Wig Care Set, complete with shampoo, conditioner, balm, brush and wig tree stand.
