A few drops, five minutes of massaging it in, and a scalp that finally feels looked after. This turns a neglected part of your routine into the bit you actually look forward to.
Rosemary has been used in hair care for centuries, and the reason it endures is the experience: a clean, herbaceous, faintly medicinal scent that makes the whole ritual feel purposeful rather than fussy. Worked through the scalp and lengths, the oil softens dry, brittle ends and leaves hair conditioned, glossy and far more manageable.
The ritual
Dry, tight scalps and split, straw-like ends are usually a moisture problem. This is a weekly reset for both. Warm a few drops between your palms, work them into the scalp with your fingertips for a few minutes, then draw whatever's left down through the mid-lengths and ends. Leave it 30 minutes, or overnight on a towel-covered pillow for a deeper treatment, then shampoo out.
Use it on your wigs too
Human hair wigs need this more than your own hair does. A wig is cut off from the scalp that would normally supply it with oil, so nothing replenishes it between washes — which is why the ends go dry and rough faster than anything on your own head. A small amount worked through the mid-lengths and ends of a wig on its stand keeps it soft. Keep it away from the lace and the wefts at the cap.
Why it's worth buying
- It's the sealing step most routines are missing. Moisture without a seal evaporates within the hour.
- A little goes a long way. You're using drops, not handfuls, so one bottle lasts months.
- It works on your hair and your wigs. One bottle, both jobs.
- The scent makes you use it. Clean and herbaceous, and it rinses away without lingering.
- Suits every hair type. Straight, wavy, curly, coily, natural or covered.
Using it safely
Essential oils are concentrated. Dilute a few drops into a carrier oil — jojoba, coconut and sweet almond all work well — rather than applying neat to the skin. Patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours before the first full application. Keep it away from your eyes, and don't take it internally.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have epilepsy or high blood pressure, check with your doctor before using rosemary oil. If your scalp is broken, inflamed, or you're experiencing sudden or patchy hair loss, see a GP or a trichologist — that needs proper assessment, not an oil.
Five minutes a week, on your hair and your wigs.
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.
Shipping

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.
