Cap and Density
Length

A hand-tied lace front wig with a genuinely wide specification range: two cap widths, four densities and lengths from a 12-inch bob to 38 inches. If you know exactly what you want, this is the product most likely to have it.

Hand-tied, and why that matters

The hair is knotted into the lace by hand rather than sewn onto machine wefts. That's slower and more expensive to make, and it shows in the wear: strands move independently from the parting instead of in visible rows, the cap sits flatter against the head, and the whole thing reads as hair growing rather than hair attached.

It's the difference you notice on the second look rather than the first — which is exactly the look you want from a wig.

Choose your cap

  • 13x4 lace front — ear-to-ear coverage with four inches of parting depth. Straightforward to install, and the more forgiving of the two.
  • 13x6 lace front — six inches back instead of four. A deep middle part stays convincing all the way through, and you can push hair off the face without exposing the cap.

Choose your density

  • 150% — natural, everyday fullness. Lightest to wear, and the easiest to pass off as your own hair.
  • 180% — fuller through the lengths, with more body. The most popular choice.
  • 200% — noticeably thicker without tipping into dramatic.
  • 250% — maximum fullness. Worth it past 26 inches, where lower densities start to look thin at the ends.

The rule of thumb: the longer the hair, the more density it needs. Thin ends are what give a wig away.

Lengths from 12 to 38 inches

12"–16" sits at the chin and collarbone for a bob or lob. 18"–22" reaches the shoulder and mid-back — the everyday range. 24"–30" runs toward the waist. Beyond that, 34" to 38" is statement length, available in selected cap and density combinations.

Not every length exists in every density, so the dropdown will show you what's actually available once you've picked a cap.

Wigs arrive compressed from packaging and look thinner and shorter than expected — shake it out and let it hang before judging it.

Why it's worth buying

  • Hand-tied construction. More natural movement and a flatter cap than machine-wefted hair, which is what most wigs at this price are.
  • Specify exactly what you want. Two caps, four densities, thirteen lengths — you're not settling for the nearest option.
  • Real parting freedom. Both caps give you middle-part, side-part and off-the-face looks.
  • Human hair. Straighten it, wave it, curl it, then wash it back. It'll take colour going darker too.
  • Length you can't grow. Waist-length hair takes most people the better part of a decade.
  • It protects your own hair. No heat, no colour, no daily manipulation underneath.

Care

Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo, condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots, and air dry on a stand. Detangle from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb, never from the roots down. Use a heat protectant and keep temperatures moderate — repeated high heat is what wears a wig out faster than anything else.

Hand-tied knots are more delicate than machine wefts, so be gentle at the parting and avoid pulling the hair straight back from the knots. A weekly deep-conditioning mask makes a real difference, since a wig has no scalp feeding it oil. At 28 inches and above, braid it loosely at night so the ends don't rub.

Hand-tied hair, in whatever cap, density and length suits you.

Length and shrinkage guide

All our lengths are measured stretched. Textured hair sits shorter than its stated measurement once it is dry:

  • Straight — almost no shrinkage. What you order is what you see.
  • Body wave — an inch or two shorter.
  • Deep wave and water wave — roughly a fifth to a quarter shorter.
  • Curly and kinky curly — up to half. A 20 inch curly piece can sit at 10 inches once dry.

If you are between two lengths, take the longer one. Length disappointment is the commonest reason wigs get sent back, and sizing up costs nothing.

Wigs also arrive compressed from packaging and look thinner and shorter than expected. Shake it out and let it hang before judging it.

Choosing your cap

The cap decides how convincing the wig looks and how much skill it takes to put on. Neither end of this list is better — they suit different people.

  • 4x4 closure — the simplest to install and the hardest to get wrong. One parting position. The sensible first wig.
  • 4x6, 4x7 and 5x5 closure — a wider lace area, so you can move your parting without exposing the cap.
  • 13x4 frontal — ear to ear coverage with real parting space. Middle part, deep side sweep, or moved between wears.
  • 13x5 and 13x6 frontal — five or six inches of depth, so a deep middle part stays convincing all the way back.
  • 360 frontal — lace around the whole perimeter. The only option if you want high ponytails and updos.
  • V-part and half wigs — no lace at all. Your own hair is left out to blend, so the parting is genuinely your scalp.

Frontals give the most freedom and take the most practice. Closures are quicker, more forgiving, and often wearable glueless with straps and combs.

Care

A human hair wig has no scalp feeding it oil, so the ends dry out faster than your own hair would. Looking after it is the difference between a wig that lasts a season and one that lasts years.

  • Detangle from the ends upward, never from the roots down. On textured hair, do it wet with conditioner in — dry brushing pulls the wave or curl pattern out permanently.
  • Wash sparingly with a sulphate-free shampoo, in sections rather than piling it up.
  • Condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots, and use a weekly mask.
  • Air dry on a stand. Allow plenty of time at higher densities — a dense wig put away damp is how wigs develop a smell.
  • Heat protectant every time, at moderate temperatures. Repeated high heat wears a wig out faster than anything else.
  • Refresh between wears with water and a little conditioner in a spray bottle rather than rewashing.
  • Handle lace gently at the hairline, and store on a stand so the shape holds.

On coloured hair: reds and blondes fade fastest. Wash in cool water, and use a purple toning shampoo every few washes on blonde and highlighted pieces.

Everywhere else, shipping is free on orders over £150, or the equivalent in your local currency. Below that, the rate is shown at checkout before you pay, based on your delivery address.

Delivery takes 3 to 25 business days depending on destination. Orders to the UK, USA, Canada and France arrive at the faster end of that range; more distant destinations take longer.

Shipping is charged per order rather than per item, so buying more than one piece at a time is usually the cheapest way to order — and it may take you over the free shipping threshold.
