I DON’T KNOW MY WIG

Measure wig fit with three separate dimensions—circumference, ear-to-ear over the top, and front-to-back—then use the exact brand’s cap-size chart instead of treating one “average” number as universal.

Start with records, not appearance: sewn-in tags, box labels, receipts, order history, item numbers, color codes, and retailer records. Separate brand/model identification from fiber and cap identification, and do not test heat or care rules on the wig while identity is uncertain.

Identify what you own before choosing care. Use this door for fiber type, heat status, cap construction, labels, brand/model clues, sizing, and unknown-wig decisions.

A care label is a starting record, not permission to fill in missing rules. Separate fiber, model, construction, washing, product placement, drying, heat, and frequency; then verify the exact current manufacturer method and preserve any conflict instead of guessing.

Heat-friendly synthetic is not heat-proof. Verify the exact fiber and current manufacturer limit first, protect delicate cap areas, use the least aggressive approved technique, and treat unknown fiber as no-heat until identified.

Cap construction tells you where a wig needs extra handling care; it does not independently determine washing, heat, or product rules. Identify lace, mono, double mono, hand-tied, wefted, and layered top areas, then pair those clues with the exact fiber and manufacturer method.

If the brand, fiber, or cap construction is unknown, identify before escalating care. This guide gives a conservative path for washing, heat, conditioner placement, detangling, and troubleshooting without borrowing another brand’s rules.

Fiber and cap construction are separate variables. Use labels, model records, visible construction clues, and conservative fallbacks to identify both before choosing washing, conditioning, heat, or repair guidance.
