Why you should care about wig density?

Wig density can be confusing to some and an annoyance to others, but one thing's for sure - it matters. It directly affects how your wig will look with your face, the styles you can create, how the unit will feel on your head, and more. Let's look a little further into the details in the section below:

1. Density affects the look of your wig - Lower density wigs will be visibly thinner than higher density wigs.  A higher density wig gives you enhanced styling capabilities, whereas low-density wigs may not be full enough to accomplish some styles.

Wig density recommendation in regard to length

Certain wig densities will look different on different hair lengths. While the wig density you choose should match your personal preference, the following recommendations can help you select a wig density that'll work well with your wig length.  

• Short (6 inches to 10 inches): For short hairstyles, we recommend choosing a density that's between 120 and 150%. These densities will look most natural and will reduce the chance of your styles coming out too bulky. 
• Medium (12 inches to 16 inches): For medium-length styles, we recommend choosing a density between 130 and 180%. Choose your specific density depending on how much volume you prefer. 
• Long (18 inches to 22 inches): When it comes to long hair, higher density is preferred to give you enough volume and fullness. Choose density between 150 and 250%. 
• Extra Long (24 inches to 30+ inches): For extra long hair, 250% density is recommended. It'll ensure that your hair is full from roots to tips.
