Men's Short Parted Straight Hair Wig | Grey Blonde Gradient Headpiece

This is a men's short wig in high-temperature synthetic fibre, a full head cap cut straight with a side part, sold in a grey and blonde gradient so the colour reads lighter than a natural dark shade.

It is priced at $17.5 on the page, filed under model M271, which is under the price of a salon cut and colour appointment for a comparable men's shape.

The cap is machine-made, the fibre is sold as fibre that cannot be permed or dyed, and the piece is worn as a cap over the wearer's own hair and taken off at night.

Key Features

• Side part - The wig is cut for a parted style, so the front is combed to one side and the part sits where his own part would.
• Grey and blonde gradient - The colour is graded from grey into blonde, so the top reads light in daylight, closer to sun-lightened hair than a flat dye.
• Straight short cut - The lengths are cut straight and short, so the wig reads as a barber shape at the front, temple, and nape.
• Machine-made cap - The cap is machine-made, so the piece is slipped on and taken off each day with no lace to cut and no adhesive.
• No chemical services - The fibre cannot be permed or dyed, so a wearer buys the gradient and shape printed on the page and keeps both.

Styling and Heat Limits

Because the fibre cannot be permed, dyed, or bleached, a wearer wanting a curl, a tighter wave, or a new colour buys a different piece, since this fibre will not take a chemical service.

Daily styling is a comb and a small amount of product, sweeping the front to the side the part is cut for and keeping the top loose so the gradient reads at the crown.

How the Length Sits

The wig is cut short, so the lengths sit at the forehead, temple, and nape where a man's own short hair sits, with the sides falling level into his hair.

A short cut shows a cap edge sooner than a long wig, so the fit is checked in a mirror at front and back, and the cap is settled at the part before product goes on.

Putting It On

The cap slips on over the wearer's own hair and closes at the back, so fitting needs no adhesive, no lace cutting, and no leave-out at the hairline.

The hair underneath is brushed flat, the cap drawn down to the hairline, and the part opened with the comb where he wears his own.

Why Synthetic at This Price

At $17.5 the piece is a cheap way to wear a gradient a barber cannot give him without bleach, since the colour is built into the fibre at the factory.

Fibre also holds a straight shape through rain and humidity, which is what a short daily men's cap is bought for, and a worn cap is cheaper to replace than a salon colour.

What Makes This Wig Different

What sets this piece apart in its band is a grey and blonde gradient in a short men's cap, so the colour and the parted shape arrive together with no bleach at a salon.

The honest trade-off is the heat limit, since a fibre cap that cannot be permed or dyed is bought as it is, and a wearer wanting a new colour is buying a second cap.

Washing and Storage

Rinse the cap in cool water with a mild synthetic shampoo, comb the lengths open from the ends while damp, and let it air-dry flat away from direct heat.

Wash after several wears rather than every wear, keep the cap on a stand out of sun, and never store it folded, since a crease shows at the hairline.

Discreet Packaging

Every WigStyleHub order ships in a plain outer parcel. The word “Wigs” does not appear on the carton or on the shipping label, and the outside of the parcel gives no clue about what is inside.
