FAQs
Is this wig suitable for everyday wear?
This wig is primarily designed for costume purposes and themed events due to its specific style and bright color. It may not be practical for daily wear.
Can I cut or style the wig further?
While you can make minor adjustments with scissors, significant cutting or styling is not recommended as it can permanently alter the intended afro shape and damage the synthetic fibers. Avoid using heat styling tools.
What is the material of the wig?
The wig is made from quality curly synthetic material.
Does the wig come with glasses or other accessories?
No, the wig is sold separately and does not include any accessories such as glasses or t-shirts. These would need to be sourced independently.
How do I clean the wig?
Hand-wash the wig sparingly in cool water with a mild shampoo. Gently squeeze out excess water and allow it to air dry completely on a wig stand. Do not brush or comb vigorously.
Will this wig fit me if I have long hair?
For the best fit, it is recommended to tie your long hair into a low bun or braids and secure them close to your head before wearing the wig. Using a wig cap can also help.
What is the specific shade of blonde?
The wig is a bright, vibrant yellow, characteristic of the fun, bold styles of the 1970s.
Troubleshooting
Wig doesn't sit right or feels loose.
Ensure hair is tucked away neatly underneath. Consider using bobby pins or a wig cap for a more secure fit.
Afro shape is flattened or misshapen.
Gently shake the wig to help it regain its form. If necessary, use your fingers to carefully reshape the curls. Avoid excessive heat or harsh styling tools.
Synthetic fibers appear tangled.
Gently separate tangled strands with your fingers. Avoid using brushes or combs, which can cause further tangling. For persistent tangles, consider a wig detangling spray designed for synthetic fibers.
Wig has an odor after storage.
Air out the wig in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. You can also gently freshen it with a wig-safe spray or by hand-washing with mild detergent and cool water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The wig is designed for immediate wear. Simply remove it from its packaging and gently shake it to help the afro regain its shape. Place it on your head, adjusting for a comfortable fit. For a more secure fit, consider using a wig cap underneath (sold separately).
Compatibility: This wig is compatible with most head sizes, as it is designed as 'one size fits all'. However, users with exceptionally large heads may find it snug.
