Welcome
To keep your wig looking and feeling its best, you need the right tools. Our essentials collection has everything you need to style, secure, and care for your wig.
Wig Adhesive
-
Easy to use, no mess.
Great for beginner wig wearers.
Dries quickly.
Light hold.
Good for someone who only wants to wear their wig for one day and take it off at night.
Super accessible, sold in every store but from my experience is cheapest on Amazon.
-
I wouldn’t say this is 24h hold, sometimes the lace on my wig lifts a little but most of it holds when using this.
Really big container, no travel size.
Can’t swim or go in the water with this or it will start to come off.
With excessive sweating at the gym, it will start to come off.
This one can be a pro or a con depending on your needs! At the end of the night I barely need water to remove my wig, it’s super easy to lift and remove as long as I didn’t catch any of my own hair. I’m simply saying this so you understand how sticky the glue is, I always suggest removing your wig with water or remover even with light hold glues like this one.
-
Firmer hold then Got2B Spray.
Great for more experienced wig wearers.
Needs at least 5 minutes to set wig band.
Good for someone who only wants to wear their wig for one day and take it off at night.
Can easily layer the paste for a firmer hold; apply 1 coat, let dry for 1 minute, repeat 3 times then apply wig.
Super accessible, sold in every store but from my experience is cheapest on Amazon.

If you get it suck in your own bio hair, it will probably rip it out when you try and remove your wig because of its firm hold nature.

Keeps your wig discrete.

Hard to remove from skin and lace
Must use wig glue remover can’t be removed with water
Wig Holders + Storage +Travel
-
You can pin your wig down to the base and easily style your wig off your head.
When letting your wig air dry, it’s much easier to pin it to the wig head and choose your part.
The wig head is stable so when you need tension to style the wig, for example when you’re blow drying and need to pull the hair a bit, the head keeps everything stable.
I love that it comes with a desk attachment so you don’t have to buy it separate.
Don’t forget to choose the right size head. You can measure your own head or grab the measurement of your wig. Measure the circumference of your head, then you will know which size wig head to choose.
-
The desk wig head holder that comes with the cork wig head isn’t the best quality. When you buy one separately it’s made with a stronger plastic.
A lot of the free items that come with it are for wig makers rather then wig wearers.
-
If you don’t have a desk to attach your wig holder to, this is a perfect option.
Very lightweight.
Great if you want to dedicate a small section in your room to style your wig, I have one in mine and use it often.
-
The foam won’t last as long as cork. Repetitive inserting and removing of the pins will break down the foam and create many holes in the head.
Not as stable as a cork head, you may have to stabilize the hole at the bottom with something else because it can be lose on some wig desk holders.
Doesn’t come with any pins to hold your wig to the head or a desk holder/tripod to keep it from moving when styling. You must purchase this separately.
-
If you don’t have a desk to attach your wig holder to this is a perfect option.
The extra legs stabilize the whole thing so when you go to blow dry or heat style your wig the base doesn’t tip over.
Great if you want to dedicate a small section in your room to style your wig, I have one in mine and use it often.
The storage bag is perfect to tuck it away neatly in your closet or to travel.
Collapsible.
-
If you’re trying to travel light, this can take up some room.
The bottom legs spread out quite wide so you would need enough room if you’re planning on keeping it open at all times.
-
Easy to travel with, come apart into 3 pieces
Great if you plan on only styling your wig on occasion and storing the items away in a closet. compact design
Good for smaller spaces
-
Doesn’t fit every type of desk/ table
Requires you to screw it to a desk or table, if it doesn’t fit one in your house, you’re out of luck
Depending on the material of the table its attached to, with lots of tension its gets wobbly over time, simply re-tighten
-
Easily store your wig away and out of site.
Keeps your wig discrete.

-
Pliable plastic, not the thickest or steadiest material.

6 hangers, so it’s great if you have multiple wigs.

Multi-purpose, can be used for wigs or hats.
-
Not great for styling your wig since there’s nothing to pin the wig to the base.
-
Gorgeous design and details
-
The wall anchors that come with it aren’t the best, I would suggest buying separate wall anchors to attach.
The base could be a bit slippery for wigs so you have to position them just right.
-
Stable sleek design.
Wig can be pinned down to the base so you can use the mannequin head for styling your wig.
Super soft, no rubbing on the interior of your wig.

Great for hanging many wigs when travelling.
Convenient 2 pack.

I love using these for my wigs I’m not currently wearing. For the wig I am currently wearing, I use a real mannequin head holder, like one of the above, so the style doesn’t get ruined.
-
Could mess up the style of your wig depending on the way you clip it and let hang.
Could cause a small dent in the hair which will have to be re-styled. Try clipping in to the wig cap rather then the hair.
-
Nice sleek look.
Perfect if you don’t have a dedicated space for you wigs as this doesn’t take up extra space.
Comes with 3 different ways to hand it up, easy to install!
-
Instructions on how to put it together are not the best.

If you don’t have a desk to attach your wig holder to these are a perfect option.

-
Harder to adjust downward when it is time to store away.
Wobbly compared to wig stands that have a desk attachment.
-
You can pin your wig down to the base and easily style your wig off your head.
When letting your wig air dry, it’s much easier to pin it to the wig head and choose your part.
The wig head is stable so when you need tension to style the wig, for example when you’re blow drying and need to pull the hair a bit, the head keeps everything stable
-
The zipper to close the bag isn’t the most sturdy.

It may take little bit of practice for some people, but after that it is quick and easy to use.

24 Soft fabric rollers, comfortable to sleep in.
Curls last all day!

-
These rollers stay in place really well, they are my go to rollers!
Since the rollers are self grip they stay in hair without clips, the clips can be used for creating pin curls or if you feel the need to secure the rollers.
Another great option to show you hair some love and to stop using heat on it!
-
If you don’t remove them gently your hair may get all caught up in them and pulled out
Can cause dents on hair from the clips if you don’t place them correctly
-

This comb heats up really fast.

This is not a professional hair press comb and does not heat up as much as a professional one does.
When using it be very careful because it can burn.

I love this pillowcase! It is gentle on my hair and there is a lot less frizz when I wake up in the morning.
I think these pillowcases are just as good as a real silk pillowcases and the price is better.

Can’t say enough about these pillowcases, all good things!

An extra layer under your wig

A line of demarcation can be noticeable at the front - tip is to cut the front of the melting tape into a bit of a curve.
