When it comes to getting up close and personal, nothing beats real human hair wigs. Their natural texture and length make them extremely realistic, easily mistaken for the real thing! If you’ve been searching for a high-quality human hair wig for a production, costume or just everyday wear, you’ve come to the right place.
Why human hair wigs are well worth the investment
Because they are made from real hair, human hair wigs can be washed, styled and even dried, just like the hair that grows out of your head. Unlike synthetic wigs — which come set in a fixed style and cannot be handled with heat tools or regular washing — a human hair wig allows you to create incredibly natural and realistic results using all the tools and beauty products you would use on real hair. Best of all, human hair wigs are touchably soft, smooth, and move in a way that synthetic fibres just can’t replicate. A quality human hair wig will last for years with proper care and maintenance, so it is well worth the investment.
How to choose the right real human hair wig for you
Understandably, deciding to purchase a human hair wig is a significant investment. In order to get the best results, there are a few considerations to take into account when choosing your wig.
- Choose a flattering style and hair type — Because human hair wigs mimic realistic natural hair growth, you’ll get the best result by choosing a style that you know will suit you, and a hair colour and type that looks ‘believable’ for your complexion and colouring.
- Consider your face shape — Just as you would with a haircut, take into account what styles will best suit your face shape and accentuate what you love the most. Do you want face-framing layers? A blunt, choppy bob? Long, luscious locks? You can, of course, choose any look you want with a wig, but bear in mind a drastic change may not feel quite right for you.
- Think about what cap construction is right for you — Depending on the way you will be most often wearing your hair, different cap constructions may or may not be suitable for you. If you wear your hair back from your face, a lace front is essential for creating a natural hairline that appears to be growing straight from your head. For style with a fringe, this is less important.
- Measure your wig size for the perfect fit — Finally, don’t neglect fitting when choosing your wig! A human hair wig should fit snugly on the head so it can be secured in place but not uncomfortably tight.

FAQs
How do I know if a human hair wig will fit?
To make buying real human hair wigs online as easy as possible, The Wig Outlet offers a range of human hair wigs in petite, average and large caps as well as child sizes. Each of our wigs has their measurements listed and feature a stretch or adjustable cap to ensure you can achieve a secure fit.
Will my wig fall off?
A quality wig should not fall off or move during everyday activities. If you find that your wig moves on your head, wrinkles or buckles and reveals your scalp or hair, it may mean that your wig is too small or large for your head.
Do human hair wigs look natural?
No option looks more natural and realistic than a real human hair wig. With its natural construction, you can enjoy an exceptional ability to style your wig in any way you like while being confident that it will maintain its quality and look for many years to come.
Can I cut my wig?
Yes, you can. In fact, we recommend it to get your human hair wig framing your face in a way that suits you.
Can I dye my wig?
Unlike synthetic wigs, real human hair wigs can be dyed and styled as you would normal hair. For a truly realistic look, we suggest using a high volume developer and the services of a professional colourist.
Can I style my wig with heat?
Absolutely. At The Wig Outlet, we love human hair wigs for their ability to let you style your hair in any way you please. Whether you use a heated styling tool or setting sprays, your real human hair wig will maintain its look and quality for a long time to come.
Can I go swimming with my wig?
Real human hair wigs offer fantastic benefits over synthetic wigs, including a durable and resilient build that allows you to swim in pools and beaches with peace of mind. We recommend washing your human hair wig when you return home and using a wig hairspray that contains sunscreen to prevent the colour of your wig from fading under the sun.
How should I store my human hair wig?
At The Wig Outlet, we offer one of the best ranges of human hair wigs in Australia. To keep your wig in its optimal condition, we suggest storing your human hair wig on a wig block or storage stand out of direct sunlight to prevent it from dulling, tangling or drying out.
How should I wash my wig?
Washing real human hair wigs is easy. Simply pass your wig through a sink full of cool water and a cap-full of wig shampoo and let it soak for 15 minutes. After draining and rinsing, repeat the process with a wig conditioner. Lastly, ring your wig gently with your hand and let it air dry on a towel. For more information, view our FAQs page.
What is a lace front wig?
At The Wig Outlet, we offer a range of wig types, including lace front human hair wigs, which are crafted on a layer of sheer lace to give the appearance of a natural hairline.
What wig is right for me if I am bald or have hair loss?
A lace front wig is the best option for balding or thinning hair. When blended under makeup, the space between the scalp and wig becomes blurred to give the impression of a natural hairline. If you need assistance finding the right wig for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us, and a member of our team will be happy to help.
What do I do if my head sweats a lot?
If you experience any sweating on your head, we recommend wearing a bamboo wig cap under your real human hair wig or consider a wig style with shorter hair.
