Expert Tips for Buying a Wig Online

Shopping for wigs online is a unique experience, especially for cancer and other hair loss patients who are looking to find the perfect wig during their challenging journey. Unlike traditional shopping, you can't immediately touch, feel, or try on the wig when you shop online. But fear not; we're here to help you navigate the process and provide some valuable tips to ensure you find the right wig.

Tip #1 Measure Your Head Size

One of the first steps in buying a wig online is to measure your head size. Although it may seem like an extra step, it's crucial for ensuring the perfect fit.

If you don't have a tape measure on hand, think of measuring your head size as you would when choosing a hat. If you can comfortably wear standard, average-sized hats like baseball caps or other hats made of non-loose knit material, our wigs will likely fit you well.

Our wigs are designed to be average size, which is suitable for most people. However, we understand that some individuals have larger or smaller head sizes, and we are actively working on expanding our wig size options.

Tip #2 Explore Our Resources

We provide a wealth of information on our website to help you care for your wig. You can find details on our wig caps, optional adjustable wig bands, and more. Additionally, we send this information to you via email before your wig arrives once you've made a purchase.

We strongly recommend taking a few minutes to review these resources, as they will familiarize you with your wig's features, care, and maintenance.

Taking the time to watch our short wig care videos will help you become confident in managing your new wig and ensuring it maintains its quality and appearance.

TIP #3 Understand Wig Density

Understanding the nuances between your real hair and your coily, curly wig is essential, particularly regarding wig density.

If your natural hair is or was on the thinner side, trying on a wig that is thicker in density may feel unfamiliar at first. Thicker wigs may initially seem "unnatural" to those accustomed to thinner hair.

It's important to remember that our wigs are very lightweight, and their styles emphasize the beauty of full, naturally coily, curly hair.

What If I Don’t Think That My Wig Is Right for Me After Purchase?

While you know best what suits your sense of style, be prepared for a potential adjustment period when transitioning from thinner hair to a thicker wig. We're confident that you'll come to love the look, quality, and feel of your new synthetic coily, curly wig. However, if you receive your wig and find that it's not for you, we offer a 10-day return policy.

To request a refund, simply contact customercare@coilstolocs.com with your order number. We'll send you a free shipping return label to your email. Place your wig back in its original packaging, print and tape the label to the box, and take it to your local post office. Upon receiving the undamaged wig within ten days of its receipt, we will promptly process your refund.

Shopping for wigs online doesn't have to be a daunting experience, especially for cancer patients. By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and satisfying shopping process.

We're here to provide you with the resources and guidance you need to find the perfect wig that will help you feel confident and beautiful during your cancer journey.
