Human Hair Wigs

Mayvenn's human hair wigs cover every way of wearing a unit: glueless closure wigs (2x6 HD lace, plus raw 5x5 HD lace in hand-colored shades), 13x6 HD lace front wigs, full lace wigs, bob wigs, headband wigs, U-part wigs and half wigs. Glueless closure, headband, U-part and half wigs go on without adhesive. Lace front and full lace units give the most natural hairline and can be worn glued or with an elastic band.

They are 100% human hair, not fiber, which is the part that matters after the first week. You can wash it, condition it, flat iron it and put it back on. Synthetic melts at the temperature human hair styles at.

How to choose a texture and a length

Pick the texture that matches your own hair first, especially with a headband, U-part or half wig, where a little of your hair stays out at the nape, along the sides or at the part. Kinky curly and afro kinky curly blend with unrelaxed 4B and 4C hair. Kinky straight reads like a fresh blowout. Yaki straight has the grain of pressed hair rather than a silk press. Straight, body wave, deep wave and jerry curl cover everything from bone straight to a tight glossy coil.

Length is measured straight, so a curl pattern hangs shorter than the number on the label. A 20-inch deep wave unit sits closer to 15 or 16 inches on the body. Straight and yaki straight hang at their measured length. The short units at 12 and 14 inches are the easiest to wear daily: less weight on the cap, less friction at the ends.

On a headband wig, the band is the styling choice most people forget. Worn further back it gives a fuller, higher crown. Sat right at the hairline it keeps the front flat and covers more of your own edge.

Questions people ask about human hair wigs

How do you put on a glueless wig?

Braid your own hair down flat, put on a wig cap, then slide the unit on from front to back and tighten the adjustable strap at the nape. The combs grip the braids. A headband wig's band sits over the front edge; a glueless closure wig sits at your natural hairline with the lace part in place. Nothing is glued, so it comes off the same way at night, in one motion.

How do you wash a human hair wig?

Wash it off your head, not on it. Fill a basin, dip and squeeze rather than scrubbing in circles, because circles are what cause matting at the nape. Sulfate-free shampoo, condition mid-shaft to ends, rinse cool, then air dry on a stand so the cap keeps its shape. Every eight to ten wears is enough for most people.

What is a lace front wig?

A lace front wig has a sheer lace panel across the front that you lay against your skin, so the hairline looks like it grows out of your scalp. Mayvenn's lace front wigs use 13x6 HD lace. They take more skill than a glueless closure or headband wig, which skip lace-laying. See lace front wigs.

What is a closure wig?

A closure wig is a cap with a smaller lace panel at the part, so you get a realistic part without a full lace hairline. Mayvenn's closure wigs are glueless: 2x6 HD lace closure wigs and raw 5x5 HD closure wigs. They sit between a headband unit and a lace front in effort. Those are grouped under closure wigs.

How long does a human hair wig last, and can you reuse it?

Yes, that is the point of buying human hair. Worn a few days a week and washed on schedule, one unit holds up for months and goes back on as many times as you want. What ends a wig early is heat and friction. Keep an iron at 350 or below with a protectant, know that flat ironing a curl pattern at high heat straightens it permanently, and store it on a stand or in a satin bag rather than folded in a drawer.

If you would rather build the look yourself, start with virgin bundles and a 13x4 lace frontal, which gives you a full hairline and a part you can move. First unit?
