Curly Wigs

When first receiving your wig in the post, it's normal to feel a little overwhelmed. Wearing a wig maybe something completely new to you, however, there's no need to worry. At Joseph’s Wigs, we completely understand your confusion and love to help wig wearers feel at ease with the whole process, no matter what stage of the journey you're at.

Washing a wig plays a key role in wig maintenance to ensure long-lasting quality and to maintain its initial shine. Using a wig washing kit, shampoo and condition the wig thoroughly, rinse the wig with clean water after each step. Then, once cleaned, place the wig onto a styling head (which you can anchor down using a suction wig clamp holder) and begin brushing the wig gently from the ends of the hair to the crown. Finally, leave the wig to dry and it’ll begin to adopt its natural style again.

For more detailed explanations, read our guides on how to wash your wigs:

The price of a wig can range anywhere between £65.00 - £3,000.00, depending on whether you choose to buy a human hair wig or synthetic wig. If you're looking for a longer-lasting wig solution, ideal for medical reasons, then we would suggest investing in a human hair wig for the most natural and comfortable look possible. However, if you're looking for a temporary wig to try new styles, for example, then opt for a synthetic wig that's lower in cost.

Choosing the right wig size for you will depend on your head circumference. This can be determined by measuring your head for a wig correctly using a flexible measuring tape. Read our page on how to measure your head for a wig and watch our video demonstration.

Synthetic wigs are made with fibre strands to simulate the natural appearance of human hair. Although synthetic wigs are man-made, advanced technology means they're created almost parallel to the quality of real hair.

Human hair wigs are crafted from harvested human hair which means the wigs feel, look and move just like a natural head of hair.

Yes! Hair straighteners can be used on all Joseph’s Wigs heat-friendly and  human hair wigs. However, it’s recommended to keep the temperature low and use a heat protectant spray to minimise damage.

We don’t recommend brushing your curly wig as this could lead to frizz and shedding. However, if you’re looking to detangle your locks, we suggest gently running your fingers through the curls, or using a  wide tooth comb.
