Wiggins Hair sells human hair wigs, closures, bundles and extensions, and the catalog is large enough that the listing names start to blur together. Terms like HD, glueless, 13×6 and Ready And Go each point to a different build, and picking the wrong one is an easy mistake.
This guide gathers the details the brand publishes along with what third-party review sites show about it. It covers who runs the company, what the lace and density options mean, how cap sizing works, which care rules the brand sets and how it stacks up against UNice. It is a research-based guide, not a wear test.
For a closer look at one specific wig, our full verdict on the HD Lace Frontal Wig covers its specs, care limits and return terms. The sections below help you decide whether that style, or a different one, fits your routine.
Who Is Behind Wiggins Hair
The brand tells its story through a factory rather than a founder. Two of its pages carry the timeline: About Us dates the retail-facing Wiggins Hair label to 2015, while the Our Factory page traces the manufacturing side back to 2006.
Company and timeline
The legal entity is Xuchang Longyi Hair Accessories Co. LTD, which the brand says now trades internationally as LONGYIHK IMP EXP CO., LIMITED. Its factory page says production began in 2006 with a nine-person workshop in Xuchang, in Henan province, a city widely known as a hair manufacturing hub in China. The consumer-facing label arrived roughly ten years later.
Size and workforce
Today the brand says it runs two factory sites with more than 200 employees. It reports an average employee age of 41, says 76% of its workers are women, and says most are hired from the local community. In its ethics messaging, the brand mentions meals provided each day, an eight-hour working day, weekends off, holiday leave and insurance for staff.
A tagline on the site claims more than 2 million customers, and the brand says it ships to the US, Europe and Africa from warehouses in both China and the US. These are the brand’s own statements, not independently checked figures.
Where the hair comes from
According to the brand, it buys hair through verified distributors and describes it as donated, sold or exchanged freely. That includes salons that sell client hair rather than throw it away. Its distributor network is listed as Brazilian, Peruvian, Malaysian and Indian suppliers, and a separate raw origin collection is sourced closer to home.
The hair carries a 9A label, which the brand describes as unprocessed virgin human hair from young, healthy donors, with nothing synthetic mixed in. Treat 9A as the brand’s own label. Grading is not independently regulated across the industry, so the number describes how the brand positions its product rather than a certified standard.
Why the factory model matters
The brand says it runs its own manufacturing instead of buying wholesale. That is the usual argument for factory-direct pricing, and it is also why this guide sets Wiggins Hair beside UNice, another China-based factory-direct brand. Orders to the US can leave from a warehouse in New York.
Lace Types and Wig Builds
The catalog spans lace front and lace closure wigs, glueless caps, HD lace and 360 lace builds, headband wigs and half wigs, with clip-in and bundle extensions on the side. Lace sizes begin with small closures and stop at 13×6 frontals.
Lace front or lace closure
Think of it as coverage. A frontal spans the hairline from roughly ear to ear, which is what lets you move the part around, and the brand’s largest size is 13×6, meaning 13 inches wide and 6 inches deep. A closure is a small patch that suits a single fixed part.
Closures tend to cost less and take less time to install, and several Ready And Go wigs are built on closures.
HD lace, LY lace and 360 lace
The brand’s FAQ lists two lace materials: HD lace, and LY lace, which is its own house version. It describes both as very transparent. HD is presented as the clearer of the two, built to blend with more skin tones than regular lace, and it is the lace on the HD Lace Frontal Wig.
360 lace is a separate setup, with the lace running around the whole perimeter of the cap rather than only the front. The idea is that a ponytail or a bun does not expose the wig track.
Glueless Ready And Go wigs
Ready And Go is the brand’s label for glueless wigs, and it covers a large share of the catalog. Adjustable straps and combs hold the cap in place, so no lace glue or tape is involved. That is the appeal for someone new to wigs or anyone who wants to skip adhesive removal.
The usual cost is less lace area than a full frontal, because a glueless cap has to fit more snugly to stay put without adhesive.
Collections and bundles
Three collections deserve a mention. In the Lagos Hairline collection the hairline is cut as an M, giving a more pronounced widow’s peak. Raw Origin is built on unprocessed, double-drawn hair. A pre-styled and braided group is aimed at anyone who prefers to wear a finished style the moment it arrives.
If you would rather build the install yourself, bundles with closure are the route: several wefts of hair plus one matching closure piece, sold for sew-ins rather than as finished wigs. It is the traditional choice when you want more customization than a ready-made wig offers.
Density, Cap Size and Length
Density
Density runs from 150% to 300% across the range. The low end, 150% to 180%, gives a thinner, more natural look that suits fine hair. The high end, 250% to 300%, looks fuller and more dramatic straight from the box. Many listings, the HD Lace Frontal Wig among them, sit between 150% and 250%, depending on the version.
Cap size
Caps ship as a 22-inch medium unless you pay for a custom size: 21 inches for small or 23 inches for large, at a flat $20. The brand states that this fee is nonrefundable and nonexchangeable, so measure around your head with a soft tape before you pick a custom size.
Length
Listed inches describe straightened hair. For wavy and curly textures, the brand’s measuring guidance says to pull the hair fully straight before comparing it with the listing, because curl shortens what you see. A body wave or deep wave wig will look shorter on the head than its listed length. The HD frontal style comes in lengths well past 20 inches, and the premium tier includes 40-inch luxury lengths.
Choosing Between Styles
The catalog splits roughly into budget, standard and premium or specialty tiers, with the 40-inch luxury lengths in the premium group. Prices change by length, texture and listing, so check the current price at Wiggins Hair for the exact style before you decide.
Treat the tiers as a starting point and let the build decide. The lace type, density and cap size you need matter more than where a wig sits in the range. The brand’s listings also show a review count for each style, but those counts are the store’s own view rather than an independent audit, so use them as one input at most.
Styles worth a look
- HD Lace Frontal Wig (straight or body wave): about 6,900 reviews on the brand’s own listing. It pairs an undetectable HD lace front with two textures under one listing.
- Loose Deep Wave Lace Front Wig: about 4,900 reviews on the brand’s listing. It is the option for texture and volume over a sleek straight finish.
- Pure 613 Blonde Straight Lace Front Wig: about 1,400 reviews on the brand’s listing. It is pre-colored platinum blonde, for anyone who wants that shade without a separate bleaching or coloring appointment.
- Full Curly HD Glueless Wig (Ready And Go): 7×5 glueless lace, 250% density, aimed at bouncy curls without lace glue.
- Pre Styled Body Wave 13×6 with M Shaped Lagos Hairline: it arrives pre-styled and carries the brand’s M-shaped Lagos hairline, so there is little work to do after delivery.
To compare these styles side by side, browse the catalog on Wiggins Hair’s site.
Wiggins Hair Versus UNice
UNice is a natural comparison, since both brands make their own hair in China and sell straight to buyers online with no wholesale step in between. Their catalogs overlap too: virgin human hair, lace front and closure builds, bundles, and colors from blonde to highlights.
How the review pools compare
UNice has the larger review pool. A third-party review site lists more than 9,200 reviews for it, with a score around 4 out of 5. The same kind of site shows Wiggins Hair with about 630 reviews and a score of 3.5.
Context matters here. About 86% of the brand’s all-time reviews on that site are five-star, and the site weights recent reviews more heavily. When recent reviews are few, a handful of complaints can pull the visible score down quickly.
What third-party reviews flag
Complaints on third-party review sites include a strong chemical smell on some wigs straight out of the bag, a product that does not match its listing photo, and slow customer service when handling returns. That does not mean most orders go badly, but the issues are worth a look before checkout. The brand’s own care guidance speaks to the smell indirectly: wash and condition every new wig before installing it.
Where each brand comes out ahead
On Wiggins Hair’s side, the brand lists custom cap sizes, small or large for a flat $20, and ships US orders from a New York warehouse, although UNice offers US warehouse shipping too. Prices vary by style at both brands, so compare the current price of the exact styles you are weighing.
UNice’s strength is review depth. With more than ten times as many reviews on the same kind of site, it gives you a bigger sample for judging quality control, and its overall score is higher. If a larger pool of third-party reviews matters more to you than anything else, UNice has more to read. If you are comfortable with a smaller review pool and want the custom cap option, Wiggins Hair is worth a look.
Care, Heat and Color Rules
Heat and color limits
Hot tools are allowed, with a ceiling: below 300°F for colored hair and below 360°F for natural colored hair. The brand also says no tool should stay on any single section longer than 30 seconds, and it wants tools cleaned after every session so residue stays off the strands.
Color only goes one way. The brand says the hair can be dyed darker but never lighter than shade #27, and it advises against bleaching the knots again or using developer stronger than 20 volume. For a lighter result, a pre-colored listing such as the Pure 613 Blonde wig is the brand’s suggested route.
Wash it before the first wear
The brand’s FAQ is firm that a new wig gets washed and conditioned before install. It says manufacturing leaves loose hairs and residue inside each wig, and that a wash removes them and hydrates the strands before heat or products reach the hair.
Rather than a single sequence, the brand’s advice breaks down like this:
- Before water: a little conditioner or morocco oil worked through the dry hair loosens tangles.
- Products: a moisturizing shampoo without sulfates or parabens, with Garnier Fructis, Pantene, Organix and John Frieda as named examples, then a conditioner left on for 10 to 15 minutes, with One Only Argan Oil and Dove Intensive Repair as named picks.
- Water and drying: cool water only, blotting instead of rubbing or twisting, and an air dry somewhere cool, finished with a little morocco oil for shine.
- Frequency: at least twice a week for a wig worn regularly.
Detangling, storage and sleep
For combing, use small sections, a dime-sized dab of conditioner and a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working upward. The brand’s guide says warm water on unwashed curls can cause more tangling than it solves. It also recommends dabbing a little clear glue along the wefts before the first wear to limit shedding.
Between wears, the wig belongs on a stand or mannequin head, or sealed in a plastic zip bag for packing away, never stuffed loose into a bag. The guide prefers a soft fabric or satin scrunchie to rubber bands, which it describes as gentler on the wefts. If you sleep or shower with the wig on, it advises a satin bonnet, because friction and direct water speed up tangling.
Buying Safely and Where to Order
Two facts from the brand shape how you should shop. It publishes no list of authorized retailers, and its FAQ says it supports dropshipping and private labeling with no minimum order. Together, they mean one wig can appear under a different store name. A reseller may be perfectly honest and still leave you outside the brand’s return policy, support line and pricing.
Ordering from the brand’s own store is the surest way to get the item, price and return terms the brand itself stands behind. Its FAQ calls its checkout legitimate and says payment details are handled through the bank.
Red flags worth watching for
- A price far below the brand’s own. Compare any third-party listing with the price on the brand’s store, and look again if the gap is large.
- No return window in writing. The brand itself allows 30 days on unused items, so a reseller offering less, or nothing, adds risk.
- Payment options with no buyer protection. Legitimate resellers accept methods that protect the buyer.
If you buy anywhere other than Wiggins Hair’s own site, choose PayPal or a credit card over a bank transfer, so a mismatched order can be disputed. When the package arrives, check it against the listing: lace type, density percentage and the length once the hair is stretched straight.
To get the exact policies described in this guide, order from the brand’s own store at Wiggins Hair.
Shipping, Returns and Payment
Shipping costs nothing for most destinations, with the US, UK and Canada named explicitly. Once an in-stock order is placed, expect 1 to 2 working days before it ships and 3 to 5 more for delivery. US customers can ask customer service about express options, because their orders can leave from a New York warehouse.
Until an order ships, you can update the shipping details or cancel it entirely.
Standard credit and debit cards work, as do PayPal, Apple Pay, Klarna, Afterpay and Clearpay. PayPal can be used as a guest, with no account needed.
The return window is 30 days with no reason needed, for items that are unused and in original condition, and a free return label is offered to US customers only. Refunds reach a PayPal account in 1 to 3 business days. A bank card or Afterpay takes 3 to 5. The $20 custom cap fee stays with the brand either way.
Common Questions
Is the hair really human hair?
The brand sells its wigs as virgin human hair with no synthetic fiber, and it labels the grade 9A. That grade is the brand’s own wording and not an independent certification.
Which style is easiest for a beginner?
The glueless Ready And Go line is aimed at exactly that, since it uses straps and combs rather than glue or tape. A lace closure is the other simple route. It covers less ground, usually costs less and installs faster.
Can I move my part?
A 13×6 or 13×4 frontal leaves room to shift the part or wear the hair pulled back. If you keep one part and want to spend less, a closure does the job.
Can I dye the wig lighter?
Not past shade #27, according to the brand. For a lighter result, choose a pre-colored style such as the Pure 613 Blonde wig.
What if the custom cap does not fit?
The $20 custom cap fee is not refundable, so measure first. Beyond that, the 30-day return window covers items that are unused and in original condition.
Before You Decide
Wiggins Hair is aimed at shoppers who want a human hair wig from a factory-direct company that ships from a US warehouse. Match the lace and density to how you plan to wear the wig, measure before choosing a custom cap, and wash the wig before its first install.
Feedback on third-party review sites is mixed, so read the return terms and check the current price at Wiggins Hair for your length and texture before you pay.
