Types of Wigs

Since there are so many different types of wigs and hairpieces on the market today, Lori's Wigsite has provided information pertaining to wigs, hairpieces, integration pieces and related products -- including how to measure for a wig, and the best method of how to wear and care for your choice of wig. It is crucial for anyone interested in purchasing a wig, hairpiece or related product to understand the different types of wigs available.

Different Types of Wigs

Though wigs and hairpieces have become trendy, for most women, selecting a wig with so many options to choose from can be challenging and a bit confusing.

Choosing Between Wigs & Hairpieces

In addition to wigs, there are bangs, 3/4 hairpieces AKA falls, ponytails. We also carry hair extensions that simply clip into your own hair (using small toupee clips) to add length & desired fullness.
Or add-on pieces to wear with hats and head-wraps. Such hairpieces are an option if you prefer not to wear a full wig or just don't want to wear your wig every day. Attached to the inside of a hat or head-wrap (usually with Velcro), the hairpiece falls naturally from beneath, providing the illusion of a full head of hair.

The best solution to thinning or diffused hair, is our Hair Additions. Or our wonderfully popular integration pieces.
The Impressions Collection features 100% remy human hair wigs and integration pieces, all of which are completely handmade. They are soft and comfortable to wear. Some of these integration units are designed for full-head coverage, which provide many attachment points for security. Others are designed for people with either major hair loss throughout, or just diffused hair loss in certain areas of the head. Review the product descriptions to decide which prosthesis will work best for your personal needs.

~For best results most pieces will look best after cutting and blending in with existing hairs.
