HAUTE PIXIE FAQ'S

 

Are you selling wigs that are longer than the shorter lengths available?

 

Regrettably, our company does not produce wigs that extend beyond shoulder length. We established our brand upon realizing the market was inundated with long-haired options, leading us to curate a unique collection catering exclusively to enthusiasts of short hair styles.

What quality of hair is your wigs and topper systems made of?

All our wigs are made of 100% human hair, including virgin and Remy hair. For more details, view the Types of Hair section.

What is a Hair Topper?

A hair topper is a hairpiece that clips onto the hair to cover thinning or hair loss at the crown. Additionally, some fashion enthusiasts with short hair use them to add length, color, or texture.

Are "Ready to Ship" wigs available to purchase?

 

Indeed, we offer wigs that are ready for immediate dispatch. These can be found on our Collection page, marked as "Ready to Ship." Known also as POP UP PIXIE, they are available solely in the displayed color and head size. For recreations of a sold wig, please reach out for inquiries.

Do you have a store where I can come to see and/or try on your wigs?

 

Our company operates online, and all of our wigs are made to order. Consequently, we do not have a physical store where you can try on our products.

Can HAUTE PIXIE make a wig or topper for me using my own hair?

Are your wigs permanently curled as shown in the photographs?

Permanently curled wigs come in various styles: Wavy, Curly, and Extra Curly. Wigs labeled as straight hair are temporarily curled, as depicted in the photograph, and will need extra styling maintenance as necessary. Heating tools can be safely used on these wigs up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

I've never worn a wig before, how do I put it on?

 

1. Gently shake the wig.

2. Determine which is the front and which is the back of the wig; the label should be at the back.

3. Lay the wig on a flat surface, looking into its interior.

4. Hold the wig by the sides or ear tabs, then slip it over the head from the hairline to the neck, making sure the front aligns with the hairline.

Should I buy more than one wig?

If your budget permits, purchasing multiple wigs can be beneficial, especially if you are experiencing sudden hair loss or desire various styling options. It's crucial to acquire at least one wig prior to the onset of hair loss. Being prepared can ease anxiety and restore a sense of control. Owning two wigs can extend their lifespan, particularly if they are not worn daily. Additionally, having a second wig can streamline your routine when the other requires maintenance.

Do you make Synthetic wigs?

 

No, we do not produce synthetic wigs. Our aim is to ensure our wigs appear as natural as possible; hence, we exclusively use 100% Virgin or Remy Human Hair, sourced from diverse origins worldwide. Please refer to the 'Types Of Hair' section for more information.

How do I take care of my wig?

  • When not in use, store your wig on a stand to preserve its shape and cover it to protect against dust.

  • Use products specifically designed for wigs to prevent excessive buildup.

  • When using heat styling tools (flat iron, Marcel iron, or blow dryer), the recommended temperature setting is up to 400 degrees. Always test the iron on a piece of paper first; if the paper discolors, reduce the heat.

  • To style the wig, use a wide-tooth comb. For curly styles, shape the curls with your fingers.

  • Clean the wig as necessary.

Can I use regular hair products on my wig?

 

While all of our wigs are made from 100% human hair, we recommend using products specifically formulated for wigs to prevent heavy buildup, which could necessitate more frequent cleaning than necessary.

Can I sleep in my wig?

 

It is not advisable to sleep in your wig, as the friction against the pillow can quickly cause the wig to lose its style and significantly shorten its lifespan. If it is necessary to sleep in your wig, wearing a soft bonnet over it is recommended.

Can I color and cut the hair on my wig?


If you wish to cut and color your wig, it's best to bring it to a professional experienced in wig maintenance services.

 

What type of styling tools can I use on my wig?

  • Use a styling comb with wide teeth and spacing to gently comb through the unit, softening its appearance each time it's worn.

  • Opt for brushes with single teeth at the base and flexible bristles that bend as they glide through the hair.

  • Employ heating tools like a Marcel or flat iron with adjustable temperature settings. Before using, test the heat on a paper strip. If the paper browns, reduce the heat and test again. Proceed with the heating tool only when the paper does not change to a brown color.

How Can I Wash My Own Wig?

 

1. Carefully brush the wig with a wig brush.

2. Mix one tablespoon of wig shampoo into a sink of cold water.

3. Submerge the wig for one minute and gently shake. Avoid rubbing.

4. Rinse the wig in cold, clear water until fully clean.

5. Pat the wig dry with a towel. Do not twist or wring.

6. Lightly spray conditioning spray over the wig from a distance of 10-12 inches. After 5 minutes, rinse with cool water.

7. Place the wig on a stand to air dry.

8. Once completely dry, style the wig as you wish.
