When looking to purchase a wig, consider its use and function in your life. The best quality wigs are made from human hair and require similar care, styling and attention to your own hair. When treated properly on a continued basis, they will survive a lifetime. Purchasing a human hair wig requires narrowing down several options and finding a dealer with whom you are comfortable
1 Seek out financial help if you are eligible. If you are needing a wig for a medical reason, such as a result of chemotherapy or alopecia, you might be able to secure some or all of your funds from outside sources. Often, insurance companies will cover a partial or complete cost of a wig if prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, several support groups offer loans to individuals needing to purchase wigs. Human hair wigs are some of the finest quality wigs and are therefore expensive. If you are able to receive assistance with your purchase, take advantage of it.
2 Start with a wig catalog, some of which can be found online. Wig catalogs can help you understand the criteria of what you require (sizing, types of hair used, care information, accessories). They will also show you what's available as far as colors, styles and lengths and the attributes associated with human hair wigs, such as styling, treatment and advantages.
3 Visit a store to try wigs on and see if they fit. Try on several styles and fits and see what is comfortable and what looks good on you. Wig shops have both artificial and human hair wigs available. Ask a salesperson before you reach to try on a wig and use the salesperson to answer any questions you may have.
4 Compare prices of several sellers once you have made a selection. Research prices in catalogs and online by searching the style name and manufacturer of your selected choice.
5 Confirm any warranties and return policies once you've decided where to purchase the wig. As with many haircuts, it may take some time before it sinks in whether or not you really like it. Look for return policies within a period of time that you are comfortable with.
6 Check the store's credibility before buying. Check for any online references that may indicate a customer's bad experience with a wig store. In addition, contact the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been made against the company.
