What Are Wiglets?

If you’ve been searching for wigs, chances are you’ve come across terms like hair toppers, hair pieces, wiglets, and more.

Maybe you found yourself asking – what are these products, and who are they for?

We at Paula Young® have put together this guide to tell you more about wiglets and how they are different from wigs.

Read on to find out!

What Is The Difference Between Wigs and Wiglets?

Wigs are hair enhancers that cover your entire head. Not only do they come in different lengths, colors, shapes, and sizes, but they also have different types of construction, such as Open Cap, Monofilament, COOLCAP®, and Lace Front wigs.

Wigs can be made of real human hair or synthetic fibers. Within these materials, there are further distinctions. Human hair wiglets can be made of 100% Remy human hair, and synthetic hair wiglets can be made of Kanekalon® synthetic fibers, WhisperLite® fibers, VersaFiber®, or more.

Wiglets, also known as hair pieces and hair toppers, are designed to add volume and/or partial coverage to specific parts of your scalp.

Unlike wigs, they cover only a portion of your head and, as a result, are smaller in size.

What Are Hair Wiglets?

Just like wigs, wiglets are also made from real human hair or synthetic fibers. Wiglets from Paula Young® look and feel the most natural, so they are the preferred choice of many women.

Hair wiglets have been specifically designed to cover only a part of the head. They are a great solution for people in the early stages of hair loss or thinning hair.

By wearing a hair wiglet over the part of the scalp with less hair, you can hide the thinning area while adding volume to your hair at the same time.

How Do You Secure A Wiglet?

A wiglet can be attached with clips, combs, or elastic bands, which are often in-built.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. If a hair wiglet covers only a part of the head, how does it stay in place?

Well, the answer depends on the type of construction of the wiglet. A wiglet like the Lasting Touch Human Hair Wiglet by Paula Young® is attached to the head using flexible combs.

The construction is stretchable and contours to the head of the wearer. This ensures both comfort and stability.

Others, like the Lite Touch Wiglet Hairpiece by Paula Young®, offers a secure and comfortable fit with its elastic on the front, back, and sides and easy attachment using two combs.

Like clip-in hair extensions, some human hair wiglets rely on clips to secure them to the head. Whatever the method of attachment may be, a wiglet always gives a smooth and comfortable fit to the wearer!

How Long Do Wiglets Last?

In general, wiglets last between four and six months, depending on the usage.

Some way to make your wiglet last longer is by washing it regularly, but not too often. Wash only when the wiglet starts to feel greasy and dirty and doesn’t blend in with your natural hair.

Wash and condition your hair wiglet using wig care products recommended by Paula Young® – we know what’s best for your wiglet!

When not using the wiglet, store it in a box or case.

With the right care, you can extend the life of a wiglet by a few more months!

Which Wiglet Is Right For You?

Whether you should get a wiglet or a wig, and which one, depends on numerous factors, including the density of your hair, how strong the hair is, and perhaps most importantly, what feels comfortable to you.

As wiglets are designed to cover only a part of the head, their primary purpose is to add a little extra hair. This gives your natural hair an overall bounce and appeal.

If you are losing hair at the parting or crown, a wiglet like the Delicate Touch WhisperLite® Wiglet Hair Piece by Paula Young® could be the right choice for you. This wavy WhisperLite® wiglet covers the top and crown, adding coverage and confidence to thinning hair.

If you require coverage at the top and partially at the back, The Crowning Touch WhisperLite® Wiglet Hair Piece by Paula Young® with ultra-lightweight Kanekalon® WhisperLite® fibers can give you the wavy hair you desire.

Depending on the type and length of your wiglet, you can choose the style you please. All wiglets at Paula Young® are crafted with care to give you the confidence you deserve.

Our wiglets are quick and easier to wear. What’s more, they come pre-styled, and they retain their style for long!
