An oblong shaped face is characterised by a very long and narrow bone structure. To create the illusion of an oval shaped face use a fringe piece across the forehead, or curls in the crown and nape areas. This creates a softer look.

A heart shaped face has a wide forehead and a narrower chin. To add some volume around the chin keep hair close to the head at the eyes but make it slightly full around the jaw, and below and in front of the earlobes. Also wear some hair over the forehead to disguise the width.

A square shaped face has a wide hairline and jaw. Square shaped faces need height and narrowness at the sides to break up the squareness. You can comb the hair off the forehead to add height to the face. Curly or wavy textures around the face can disguise the wide, straight lines common in a square face.

Some wigs do tangle at the nape and it’s caused by hair rubbing the back and shoulders. This is known as Friction Rub. If your wig is shoulder length or the hair is thin then your wig is more likely to matt.

How you can prevent this:

Brush your wig regularly and when washing leave the conditioner in for 5 minutes to prevent the hair from tangling and drying. Purchase a wig stand and keep your wig on there overnight. Fibre Hair wigs are also quite common to matt.

You can also subscribe to our WigScription Aftercare service and send your piece back to Pure Wigs to be professionally managed.

It’s important that you use the right product for your Synthetic Fibre Wigs and Hairpieces. We recommend the Dimples Fibre Oil Conditioner and T Fibre Range to care for these type of products. To prevent the fibres from splitting, and keeping the wig from frizzing use a brush or comb that is designed for Synthetic wigs.

Synthetic (Fibre) Wig and Hairpiece Care

Synthetic Wigs are easy to care for and you should only need to wash your wig once every 10 – 12 times worn. These wigs shorten in lifespan each time it is washed, but there are ways you can keep and maintain your wig for longer! A wig cap will help absorb your natural scalp oils and try using less styling products as possible. Following these steps will reduce how much you wash your wig and will keep your wig looking brand new for longer.

Here are some tips to maintain your wig:

1. With your Synthetic Fibre brush or comb, gently brush through your wig removing any tangles always check for a tag on your wig as some wigs should not be brushed, especially if a curly wig! 
2. Longer styles can become more matted at the back, try applying a wig spray as a lubricant and gently brush or comb through.

4. Using a Synthetic wig Shampoo, pour two caps into luke warm water and let your wig submerge in the sink for 5 minutes before washing. Do not apply this product straight onto the hair fibres as it will make it lank and sticky. 
5. Rinse your wig in cold water until no suds remain. It’s okay to separate any tangles and strands with your fingers as your wig dry’s Do not twist or wring your wig. You can dry your wig on a towel to leave overnight or if you have a wig stand your wig will dry quicker!
