Riley by Henry Margu: Soft Waves with a Lace Front and Center Lace Part
Riley is a layered style with soft, lived-in waves from the Henry Margu wigs collection. It is made with ready-to-wear synthetic fiber and built on a wefted cap with a lace front and a center lace part, in an average cap size.
The 10" bang and face-framing layers give Riley easy movement, and the waves are set into the fiber, so they come back after washing. The center lace part gives a natural-looking part line, and the lace front keeps the hairline soft when the hair is pushed back.

Synthetic wigs and hair toppers are made with a lightweight fiber that holds its style, color and curl pattern, even after washing. With simple care, a synthetic wig stays soft, shiny and natural-looking for months. This guide covers how to wash, dry, detangle and store a regular synthetic wig or topper. If your wig is heat friendly (HF, HD or heat resistant), see our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide instead.
Synthetic Wig Care: Quick Answers
How often should I wash a synthetic wig? About every 6 to 8 wears, or sooner in hot weather or if you use styling products.
Can I use heat on a synthetic wig? No. Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers can melt or frizz regular synthetic fiber. Only heat friendly synthetic and human hair wigs can be heat styled.
What shampoo should I use? A shampoo and conditioner made for synthetic fiber. Regular shampoo can dry out and dull the fiber.
How do I dry it? Let it air dry on a wig stand. Do not blow dry.
How long does a synthetic wig last? With regular wear and good care, most synthetic wigs last about 4 to 6 months.
How to Wash a Synthetic Wig or Topper
Gently remove tangles with a wide tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up.
Hold the wig under cool running water, letting the water flow in the direction the hair falls.
Gently lather a capful of shampoo made for synthetic hair through the fiber, keeping the hair moving in one direction. Do not rub or scrub, which causes tangling.
Rinse thoroughly in cool water until the water runs clear.
Wrap the wig in a towel and gently pat out the excess water. Do not wring or twist it.
Mist the ends with a conditioning spray made for synthetic hair and gently detangle with a wide tooth comb, keeping the conditioner away from the cap.
How to Dry and Style a Synthetic Wig
Place the wig on a plastic or wire wig stand and let it air dry completely. Do not blow dry.
Make sure the cap is fully dry before wearing or storing the wig.
Once dry, shake the wig out and style it with your fingertips or a wig brush or comb. The fiber will return to its original style.
Do not use curling irons, flat irons or blow dryers unless the wig is specifically labeled heat friendly synthetic or human hair.
How to Prevent Tangling and Frizz
Synthetic fiber can tangle or frizz over time, especially at the nape and on mid-length and long styles, where hair rubs against collars, scarves and car seats. To keep it smooth:
Always comb from the ends upward, never from the root down.
Reduce friction at the nape by avoiding rough collars and high-friction fabrics.
Avoid brushing curly or wavy styles when dry; separate curls with your fingers instead.
Keep Your Synthetic Wig Away from Heat
Regular synthetic fiber is sensitive to heat. Be cautious near open ovens, grills, heaters, dishwashers and steam, and when lighting candles or fireplaces. A sudden blast of heat can frizz or melt the fiber in seconds, and the damage can't be reversed.
How to Store a Synthetic Wig
Store your wig on a wig stand or in its original hairnet, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep it out of humid bathrooms when not in use.
For travel, place it inside a hairnet and pack it loosely in a box or bag so it doesn't get crushed.
When to Replace a Synthetic Wig
Signs it's time for a new wig include frizz at the ends that won't comb out, a dry or dull texture, thinning at the nape or a stretched cap. Rotating between two wigs helps each one last longer.
You'll need a synthetic wig shampoo and conditioner, a detangling spray, a wide tooth comb and a wig stand. Shop wig care products for synthetic hair.
Synthetic Wig Care FAQ
Can I sleep or shower in a synthetic wig?
It's best not to. Sleeping in a wig causes friction and tangling, and shower heat and steam can damage the fiber. Remove your wig and place it on a stand overnight.
Why is my synthetic wig frizzy at the ends?
Frizz is usually caused by friction against clothing or by exposure to heat. Detangle daily, reduce friction at the nape and keep the wig away from heat sources. Regular synthetic frizz can't be smoothed with heat, so prevention is key.
Can I color or dye a synthetic wig?
No. Synthetic fiber does not absorb hair dye. If you'd like a new color, choose a new wig; our wig color charts can help you compare shades by brand.
What's the difference between synthetic and heat friendly synthetic wigs?
Regular synthetic wigs hold their style permanently and can't be heat styled. Heat friendly synthetic wigs can be restyled with low heat but may need a little more daily care. See our Heat Friendly Wig Care Guide.
Can I use regular shampoo on a synthetic wig?
It's best not to. Regular shampoos can strip and dull synthetic fiber. Use products made specifically for synthetic wigs.

Reviews
So grateful and relieved
"I am so relieved to have Riley. I just received her in the color 626H. So incredibly natural. The color is exactly like my bio hair and there’s no fake shine to her. Light weight and comfortable. The hairline is awesome. I can literally throw this on and go. I’m new to losing my hair and this is the one wig that I will finally go outside with. I’ve wasted so much money while experiencing my hair loss. It’s been one of the worst experiences I’ve gone through-but now, all my anxiety is gone. Thank you Wig Studio"
— Laura (5/5)
More than I expected!
"I just received Riley in shade 8/27/33H and this piece is gorgeous. This color is natural and believable, the fibers are so soft and the density is perfect. (I would say medium density). I have been looking for a relaxed beach wave that looks good on me for a LONG time. The waves have just the right amount curl without being a tight wave. I was able to cut a bang into her and I'm so pleased as it lays flat the bangs should. Can't wait to wear her out. I just ordered another Riley as my backup. The cap fits well and is very comfortable. I really like the lace front only at the hairline because I personally find more than that too in warmer weather. Thanks for a beautiful piece."
— Sue (5/5)
Absolutely beautiful!!
"Riley by Henry Margu is a must have, mine is in the color 10/613GR!! She comes with a center part, but its wide enough for me to wear it a little left of center. She's absolutely gorgeous, the fibers are so soft and HM caps are so comfortable!! Thank you Henry Margu and WS1 for another winner!!"
— Melinda R. (5/5)
Really like it!
"It had more permatese than I thought originally but I still love it because it’s in all the right places. I love Henry Margu fibers and would LOVE to know when they have their pieces on sale… I hear it’s not often. Maybe they will for Valentines Day!"
— Angela H. (5/5)
Beyond expectations!
"Love this beautiful piece! Riley is so realistic it's hard to tell apart from real hair. These fibers are extremely soft and realistic, and the color is absolutely stunning! The length is perfect for all occasions, and I can wear her for formal or casual. I may order in other colors!"
— Marilyn S. (5/5)

OK but not great
"Riley is definitely better than its cousin, Showgirl. I don't know why, but it seems to always come in better shape. That said, Riley is not the greatest but serviceable. Comes out of the box pretty good, at least in all my purchases. However, it wears out VERY quickly. Detangling the back stretches it quickly, and within 10-15 wears it starts looking like a totally different piece. The fibers don't seem to snap back to their original wave no matter what you do. Then it gets long and thus gets even more tangled. Eventually it looks like a mess. If you can get it on sale, it's right in there with a lot of other styles. You'll never get the wear out of this the sellers or manufacturers say you will, but at a sale price I'd say it's OK. That said, purchasing it on sale may mean you spend weeks waiting for it to ship as I have found out."

Realistic Riley
"Riley is very light for the length of hair on her. The lace front is lovely, and this is one of the most comfortable caps I've worn. WigStudio1's service was excellent, as usual. This is my go-to hair shop. Thank you!"

Beautiful, but way too shiny.
"It's so beautiful. Light and airy, fits well, very comfy. I will buy another in a different color as soon as I can afford it. Really nice, especially for the price. Only drawback is that it is so shiny! Way more than any good wig I've purchased. I soaked it in fabric softener as I always do to reduce that fake hair shine, but is still too shiny. People can tell it's a wig. I look forward to it loosing some of that shine."
