5 Things to Know Before Buying Your First Wig
Buying your first wig can feel like entering a whole new world. From lace types and cap sizes to installation methods and maintenance, there’s a lot to take in. But don’t worry—getting started doesn't have to be intimidating. With a few essential tips, you’ll be ready to shop confidently and find the perfect wig for your lifestyle.
At EuxmeHair, we specialize in beginner-friendly wigs that look and feel like your own hair. Whether you’re choosing a wig for protective styling, everyday convenience, or a total glow-up, these five tips will help you avoid common mistakes and make the right choice.
1. Start with the Right Wig Type
Not all wigs are created equal—especially for beginners. Full lace and 360 wigs offer styling freedom but require more experience. For a stress-free start, go with a lace front or closure wig. Closure wigs, like 4x4 or 5x5, are easier to install and maintain while still offering a natural-looking part.
Looking for a low-maintenance option that still turns heads? Try our 4x4 Lace Closure Wig—it’s beginner-friendly, secure, and requires minimal styling.
2. Know Your Cap Size
Wig fit is everything. Too tight, and you’ll get headaches. Too loose, and your wig may shift or lift. Most wigs come in a medium size (22"–22.5" circumference), but it’s worth taking your own head measurements for the best match.

3. Choose the Right Hair Material
Wigs generally come in two categories: human hair and synthetic. Synthetic wigs are budget-friendly and pre-styled, but less versatile. Human hair wigs offer unmatched realism, longer wear, and the ability to heat-style or color.

4. Glueless or Glued: Choose Your Install Method
For daily wear, glueless wigs are ideal. They’re easier to take on and off, and perfect for beginners. Closure wigs work especially well in this style. If you prefer a more secure hold (for events or long days), consider frontal wigs with adhesive—but be sure to care for your edges and use quality glue or spray.
Many of our units, like the Highlight Brown Body Wave Wig, feature adjustable bands and breathable caps—no glue required!
5. Learn Basic Wig Care
Proper care means longer life and a better look. Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, detangle gently from ends to roots, and never style when wet. Store your wig on a wig stand or in a satin bag to keep its shape.
Think of your wig like an investment—it deserves regular TLC to stay soft, bouncy, and beautiful. Treat it like your own hair, and it will return the favor.
