Before You Buy Wig Guide

Read This Before You Order Your Wig

Choosing the right wig is exciting - and we want your purchase to be perfect on the first try! This guide walks you through everything you should know before ordering from BeautyBuyGen so you can shop confidently and avoid surprises.

 

1. Synthetic vs. Human Hair - Know the Difference

We offer BOTH human hair and synthetic wigs. Here’s what you should expect from each:

✔ Human Hair Wigs

  • Can be curled, straightened, and styled

  • Can be dyed darker (avoid bleaching unless you’re experienced)

  • Long-lasting with proper care

  • Natural movement and softness

✔ Synthetic Wigs

  • Affordable, beginner-friendly

  • Pre-styled — keeps its look

  • Cannot be bleached or restyled with high heat

  • Color may appear slightly different in person due to lighting

👉 Tip: Always check the product description to confirm what type of hair you are purchasing.

 

2. Color Disclaimer - Not Every Screen Shows Color the Same

Wig colors may vary due to:

  • Studio lighting

  • Outdoors vs. indoors

  • Camera settings

  • Phone or computer brightness

  • Supplier photography

This is normal for ALL wig brands.

👉 Small color differences are not considered defects.

 

3. Lace Type & Transparency

We sell several lace options:

✔ HD Lace
Soft, thin, blends easily. Needs careful handling.

✔ Transparent Lace
Matches most skin tones with makeup.

✔ Standard Lace
Durable, holds up well with daily wear.

👉 Important: All lace must be cut before wearing - only cut if you plan to keep the wig, because cut lace cannot be returned.

 

4. Wig Density - What You See vs. What You Feel

Density determines fullness. Here’s what to expect:

  • 150% → Natural fullness

  • 180% → Full everyday glam

  • 200%+ → Extra thick, bold volume

👉 Density may look different depending on length, curl pattern, and styling.

 

5. Cap Size & Fit

Most BeautyBuyGen wigs are average cap size (21.5"–22.5") and include:

  • Adjustable straps

  • Elastic bands

  • Combs for secure wear

If your head is larger or smaller than the average range, a standard cap may fit tighter or looser.

👉 Always check product details for cap size information.

 

6. Length Expectations

Wig length is measured stretched, not curly.

  • Straight = true to length

  • Body wave = appears shorter

  • Deep wave / curly = looks much shorter unless stretched

👉 If you want “long,” choose a longer length in curly textures.

 

7. Shedding & Tangling Reality Check

All wigs - human or synthetic - experience:

  • Light shedding

  • Some tangling, especially at the nape

This is normal and not considered a defect. Proper care extends the life of your wig.

 

8. Lace Cutting, Styling & Customization

When your wig arrives:

  • You may need to trim the lace

  • Add powder or tint to match your skin tone

  • Flat iron or curl (depending on hair type)

  • Apply light styling products

👉 Once lace is cut, the wig is final sale.

 

9. Shipping Time Frame

Estimated delivery:

  • Processing: 1-4 business days

  • Shipping: 7-15 business days

Total: 8-19 days on average

Please order ahead if you need your wig for:

  • A vacation

  • Birthday

  • Photoshoot

  • Event

 

10. Returns & Exchanges - Important

For hygiene and safety reasons, we can ONLY accept returns if:

  • ✔ Lace is uncut

  • ✔ Wig is unworn

  • ✔ Wig is unbrushed and unstyled

  • ✔ No perfumes, oils, or residue

  • ✔ Original packaging is intact

  • ✔ Return request is approved first

👉 Wigs cannot be returned once worn, tried on, combed, or altered.

 

11. Read the Product Description Carefully

Before checking out:

  • Verify type of hair (human or synthetic)

  • Confirm length, texture, density, and lace size

  • Review shipping time

  • Review cap size

  • Look at photos

  • Read care instructions

This ensures you get exactly what you expect.
