How Do I Choose the Right Wig?

Choosing your wig should feel exciting and effortless. Here’s how to find the one.

First-Time Wig Wearer?

If this is your first wig, choosing a color close to your natural hair is an easy transition. That said—wigs are meant to be fun. If you’ve always had a dream hair color, this is your moment.

At CSC, we design wigs to be cut-the-lace-and-go whenever possible. Some styles may need light customization, but overall our wigs are created to be user-friendly and wearable right out of the box.

Length Matters

Our wigs range from short, medium, to long. Lengths are listed on most newer styles, and we’re continuing to add them across the collection to make shopping simple.

Lace, Caps & Fit

Swiss Lace vs. Classic Lace
Swiss lace is finer, more delicate, and fits more snugly for a natural hairline. Classic lace offers the most forgiving, familiar fit.

Monofilament Fit
Monofilament caps may feel more structured at first but relax with regular wear.

Are These Replacing Classic Lace?
No—Swiss lace and monofilament are additional options, not replacements.

Fit Preferences
Fit and comfort vary based on head shape and personal preference.

Sizing Made Simple

Most CSC wigs are average size, fitting 21.5"–22.5" head circumferences. Adjustable straps allow flexibility, and about 95% of women fit average size.

• Petite: 20"–21"

• Average/Regular: 21.5"–22.5"

All sizing details are listed in each wig description.

How to Measure
Measure around your hairline, above the ears, and around the occipital bone. The tape should be snug, not tight. Minor variations may occur due to hand construction.

Density & Hairline

What Is Density?
Density refers to thickness. Natural hair is around 110–130%. Our wigs typically range 130–150%, with 150% being most common.

If you’re new to wigs, a lower density often feels more natural. Density is listed on every product page.

Is Plucking Required?
Plucking is optional. Many CSC wigs are designed to look beautiful without it. If you choose to pluck, keep the lace on for best results. We offer tutorials if you’d like to learn.

Comfort & Wear

Are Wigs Itchy?
Most customers find our wigs very comfortable. If you’re sensitive, we recommend a wig cap and wig grip combo or placing scar tape along the inside lace.

Care, Storage & Longevity

How Long Do Wigs Last?
With proper care, wigs typically last 8 months to a year, often longer.

• Avoid over-brushing

• Use a wig brush or wide-tooth comb for curls

• Remove wigs from the nape to reduce friction

Storage
Store on a mannequin head or hanging. For travel, use a wig travel bag or the silk bag provided.

Washing
Wash every 15–25 wears, depending on product use. Over-washing can cause damage.

Use cold water, gentle detergent or synthetic wig shampoo, followed by conditioner or fabric softener. Finish with a conditioning spray.

Customizing & Styling

Can I Cut My Wig?
Yes—but we recommend a stylist experienced with wigs.

Can I Color My Wig?
Synthetic wigs cannot be dyed or bleached. Root spray may be used for added dimension. Rit Dyemore Synthetic Dye may work in limited cases but is not recommended.

How Do I Secure My Wig?
Most women use a wig grip, wig cap, or our grip combo. Clips provide added security for those with hair.

Can Long Hair Fit Under a Wig?
Yes—use a low bun, French braid, or two braids for thick or long hair to ensure a smooth, flat fit.
