Styling your hair takes, well, forever (unless you're throwing on a ready-to-wear wig). Whether you're taming frizz or attempting beachy waves, the time investment alone—not to mention the arm strain from holding a blow dryer—is enough to make you want to throw your tresses in a bun 24/7. But what's the alternative? Settling for a style that falls flat? Wearing a hat every day? No thanks.
If you're stuck in this vicious cycle, you're not alone. And it's precisely why we created our line of premium ready-to-wear human hair wigs. Unlike custom-made wigs, ready-to-wear wigs are pre-cut and pre-styled so that you can enjoy an immediate mane transformation. No waiting, no hassle—just gorgeous, luxurious hair that's ready to go when you are.
Ready-to-wear wigs can get a bad rap for being unnatural and fake looking (think the stringy blonde bob that comes with your Halloween costume), but that couldn't be further from the truth. When made with high-quality human hair and detailed craftsmanship, ready-to-wear wigs can be just as beautiful and realistic as their custom-fitted counterparts.
Read on to learn why.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A READY-TO-WEAR WIG?
Good hair days are a dime a dozen when you're working with your natural hair. As lovely as your mane may be, weather, bad haircuts, and lack of get-ready time can quickly turn your tresses from a 10 to a hot mess. That's where ready-to-wear wigs come in. Rather than struggling to achieve the perfect style with your own hair, ready-to-wear wigs give you the freedom to change up your look as often as you'd like—no muss, no fuss.
Just look at all the glorious benefits that come with donning a ready-to-wear wig:
Pre-cut
We all know firsthand how hard it is to find a good haircut. No matter how many photos you bring to the salon or how specific your instructions are, it seems like there's always some miscommunication that leaves you with a style you hate. Ready-to-wear human hair wigs come pre-cut, so you don't have to worry about botched haircuts ever again.
Pre-Colored
Spending hours at the salon getting your hair colored is a thing of the past with ready-to-wear wigs. Our ready-to-wear lace front wigs come in both classic and trendy colors, so you can find the perfect shade to complement your complexion. You can rock a custom balayage color one day and throw on a warm chocolate brown with baby lights the next. The possibilities are endless!
Pre-Styled
When you buy a ready-to-wear wig, the hard work has already been done for you. No need to waste time curling or flat-ironing your locks—just put on your wig and go! Whether you're looking for a sleek and straight style or playful and bouncy curls, there's a ready-to-made wig for you. It's instant glam, no matter where you are or what you're doing.
Perfect for Beginners
One of the best parts about our ready-to-wear wigs? They're glueless! That's right, no need for sticky adhesives or pesky tapes—just put on your wig like you would a hat, and you're good to go. Ready-to-wear glueless wigs are perfect for wig beginners or anyone who wants a fuss-free hairstyle.
Lower Maintenance
Your natural hair requires a lot of time and effort to keep it looking its best. Not to mention the number of serums and sprays you need to keep your style in place. Ready-to-wear wigs are much easier to maintain than your own hair, so you can spend your time doing the things you love rather than being chained to your hair routine.
Lower Priced
Bespoke, custom wigs are often the best option for those seeking a realistic and comfortable fit. However, they come at a price tag that's not always feasible for everyone. Because our ready-to-wear lace front wigs are made with our premium European hair, they offer the same high-quality construction and long-lasting wear as our custom wigs—but at a fraction of the cost.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ONE OF OUR READY-TO-WEAR WIGS?
Not all ready-to-wear wigs are created equal. Everything about the construction of the wig—from the type of hair used to the way it's cut and styled—can make or break its realism. We know it's a little biased, but we believe our collection has the absolute best ready-to-wear wigs on the market. Read on to find out why.
100% Premium European Human Hair
The hair used in our wigs is some of the finest on the planet. That's not some marketing mumbo jumbo—it's a fact. Our European hair is sourced from the world's only (and largest) private reserve, meaning it's in the top 10% of hair you can find. These strands are a huge part of what makes our ready-to-wear glueless wigs look and feel so natural.
Hand-Tied Caps
Armed with some of the best hair in the biz, our skilled artisans hand-tie each and every strand to the wig's base. This process is time-consuming (taking about 14 days), but it's worth it. Hand-tied caps are superior to machine-made ones in both comfort and realism so that you can wear your wig all day without any discomfort.
Lace Front Caps
Another key piece in what makes a wig look like the real thing is a lace front. We add a small piece of soft Swiss lace to every cap, which lays flat against your forehead. This creates the illusion of a natural-looking hairline, even if you wear your wig pulled back in a ponytail.
A Perfect Fit
Our wigs are designed to fit snugly and comfortably on a variety of head shapes and sizes. We offer a range of cap sizes, so you can find one that fits your noggin like a glove. Trust us; our pieces are so cozy you'll forget you have one on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ready-to-Wear Wig?
A ready-to-wear wig is a wig that is already styled and cut. They come in a range of styles, colors, and textures and are designed to be worn right out of the box. Unlike custom wigs, you can't customize the length or color of a ready-to-wear wig, but there are tons of gorgeous looks to choose from.
Are Ready to Wear Wigs Customizable?
No, ready-to-wear wigs are not customizable. They are already cut and styled, so you can't change the length or color of the wig. But they are way more affordable than custom wigs, so they're a great option if you're on a budget.
Do Ready-to-Wear Wigs Look Natural?
It depends on their construction. If they're made with premium human hair and have a hand-tied cap, they will look very natural. But if they're made with synthetic fibers or have a machine-made cap, they might not look as realistic.
What is the Easiest Wig for Beginners?
Ready-to-wear glueless wigs are the easiest wigs for beginners. They don't require any adhesive or tape, so they're quick and easy to put on. And since they're already cut and styled, you don't have to worry about doing anything to them before you wear them.
What is the Most Comfortable Type of Wig to Wear?
Hand-tied wigs are the most comfortable type of wig to wear. They're made with a soft, lightweight cap that is gentle on your scalp. And since each strand of hair is individually tied to the cap, there's more room for airflow, so your scalp won't get as sweaty or hot.
Is it OK to Wear a Wig Every Day?
Absolutely! When you've got a well-crafted wig that fits properly, you can wear it every day without any discomfort. Just make sure to take it off while you're sleeping. Tossing and turning can cause tangles and breakage to your wig, so it's best to store it on a wig stand or mannequin when you go to bed.
Do You Have to Wear a Wig Cap Under Your Wig?
Nope! Wig caps are a totally optional accessory. Some women like to use them as extra protection for their natural hair or to help their wig stay in place. But others find them to be too hot and uncomfortable, so they prefer to go without. It's important to note that a good quality, well-fitting wig won't slip and slide without a cap.
Can You Sleep in a Wig?
Technically, you can, but we don't recommend it. Sleeping in your wig can cause tangles, matting, and breakage, which can reduce the lifespan of your wig. Give your scalp a breather in the evenings, and store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin when you go to bed.
Can You Go in the Pool or Shower with a Wig?
Chlorine and salt water can damage your wig, so it's best to avoid swimming with it. And while human hair wigs can get wet just like your regular hair can, there is a proper way to wash it that will extend your wig's lifespan and keep it looking flawless for years to go. So take it off when you shower or swim.
How Do I Keep My Wig From Slipping Off?
If your wig is constantly slipping and sliding, chances are it's too big. A well-fitting wig shouldn't slip, even if you don't use any adhesive. Be sure to properly measure your head so you can choose the right cap size when you're shopping. If you found out your cap is too big after you've already bought the wig, you can try using a wig cap or some adhesive to help it stay in place.
What are the Advantages a Human Hair Wig Has Over Synthetic?
Human hair wigs offer so much more than synthetic wigs in terms of style, comfort, and durability. They can be styled with heat tools, colored, and cut just like your regular hair. They also last longer and are much more realistic-looking than synthetic pieces. However, human hair wigs are more expensive, so if you're not a daily wig-wearer, a synthetic wig might be a better option.
What Makes a Wig High-Quality?
How a wig is constructed plays a big role in its overall quality. In our industry, 100% European human hair wigs with hand-tied, lace front caps are considered to be the highest quality. But even if you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a wig, there are still ways to spot a poorly made piece. Avoid wigs with visible wefts, harsh chemicals, bad stitching, and cheap materials. Generally speaking, the more natural a wig looks and feels, the higher quality it is.
How Much Does a Good Wig Cost?
Good wigs are an investment in both your appearance and your comfort, so they're not cheap. A well-made human hair wig can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $11,000. But remember, you get what you pay for. A cheaper wig might save you money in the short run, but it won't last as long or look as good as a high-quality piece.
How Do You Maintain a Human Hair Wig?
Proper care can extend the lifespan of your wig and keep it looking its best. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive heat styling, rough brushing, and over-washing. When you do wash it, use a mild shampoo and conditioner made specifically for wigs. And be sure to store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin when you're not wearing it to prevent tangles and matting.
What Are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?
Where strands are sourced and how they are collected determines what type of wig you have. There are five common types you'll find while wig shopping.
European Hair
Easily the most sought-after type, European hair is collected from Slavic countries like Russia and Ukraine. It's known for being soft, silky, and lustrous with a natural sheen. But it's also the most expensive and rarest type of wig hair on the market.
Indian Hair
India is the world's largest producer of human hair, making Indian hair the most available type on the market. It offers more texture and volume than European hair, making it a great option for those who want a little va-va-voom in their wig.
Asian Hair
Strands from Asian countries are much more common than European hair. Asian hair is thick, dark, and shiny with a natural wave pattern. It's also very strong, so it holds styles well. However, some manufacturers of Asian hair use unsavory practices like making wigs out of "waste hair." Vet your supplier carefully to make sure they're using ethically sourced hair.
Virgin Hair
Virgin hair is unprocessed and collected from a single donor. Because it's never been dyed or chemically treated, it's very delicate. Virgin hair can be any type, but it's usually on the pricier side since it's so rare. Be wary of anyone who's advertising virgin hair at a cheap price.
Remy Hair
Remy hair refers to how the hair is cut, with the cuticles all facing the same direction. This helps prevent tangling and matting. Remy hair can be any type, but it's usually of high quality since the cuticles are still intact.
