FAQs
Is this wig suitable for children?
The wig is designed as one-size-fits-all and is generally intended for adults. While it might fit some older children, adult supervision is recommended if a child wears it.
Can I cut or style this wig with heat?
This wig is made from synthetic fibers and cannot be safely styled with heat tools like curling irons or straighteners, as this will damage the fibers. You can trim it carefully with scissors if needed.
How long does the wig typically last?
With proper care and storage, the wig can last for multiple uses. Factors like frequency of wear and how it is handled will affect its longevity.
What material is the wig made from?
The wig is made from synthetic fibers designed to mimic the look and feel of real hair in an 80s style.
Does the wig come in other colors?
Yes, Smiffys offers the 80s Wild Child Wig in other colors, such as brown. This specific product is the black variant.
How should I store the wig when not in use?
Store the wig on a wig stand or in a breathable wig bag away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its shape and prevent tangles.
Troubleshooting
Wig appears flat or tangled upon arrival.
Gently shake the wig out and use your fingers to carefully separate the curls. Avoid using a brush, which can cause frizz. Allow it to air out for a short period.
Wig feels uncomfortable or slips during wear.
Ensure your natural hair is secured neatly underneath. Use bobby pins to anchor the wig to your hair, particularly around the temples and nape of the neck. Adjust the internal cap if there are adjustable straps.
Synthetic fibers look unnatural.
Ensure the wig is properly fitted. Sometimes, a light dusting of dry shampoo can help reduce shine and create a more matte, natural look on synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This wig is designed to fit most adult head sizes as it is one-size-fits-all. It is compatible with a wide range of 80s-themed costumes.
Care: To clean, gently hand wash with cool water and mild shampoo. Avoid vigorous rubbing or wringing. Rinse thoroughly and blot excess water with a towel.

Store the wig in its original packaging or a wig bag to prevent tangles and dust.
