Short wigs FAQ

What counts as a short wig?
Short wigs sit above the shoulders, from pixies and crops to chin-length bobs.

Are short wigs good for first-time wearers?
Yes. They're lightweight, easy to manage and need very little styling, which makes them a popular first wig.

Which cap is best for a short wig?
A lace front and a monofilament top look most natural on short styles, since the hairline and crown show more.

How do I know my cap size?
Measure around your head along the hairline, behind the ears and across the nape. Petite caps typically fit about 20" to 21.25", average about 21.5" to 22.5", and large about 23" and up, though each brand's chart varies a little. See our step-by-step measuring guide.

Can I use heat on a wig?
Only on heat-friendly synthetic and human hair. Heat-friendly synthetic fiber can usually withstand up to 350°F, and we recommend styling at 270°F to 280°F. Human hair can be styled with low heat and a heat protectant. Standard synthetic fiber can't be heat styled. Each product page lists the hair type and heat guidance, and our heat-friendly wig care guide and human hair wig care guide cover the details.
