Most wigs are made with more hair than a real head has. This is intentional - it looks full in the packaging - but on the head, the result is often heavy, warm, and a little too much. With thinning, we remove excess hair so that the wig moves like your own hair.
What we do
We thin the hair evenly, from the inside out, so that the length and shape are retained while the weight is reduced. We focus particularly on the area over the head and at the nape, where the weight is most noticeable. We decide together how much to remove - we would rather proceed carefully in two sessions than take off too much in one.
What you will notice
The wig becomes more comfortable to wear all day and cooler against your head. It sits closer to the shape of your head instead of puffing out, and the hair gains movement instead of falling as a compact mass.
How to order
Add the service when you purchase your wig from us, and we will thin it before sending it. If you would rather see the result take shape, book an appointment at our salon in Uppsala or Stockholm and sit in while we work.
If you order Custom Fit, we are happy to do the thinning during the same appointment.
Important to know
Thinning cannot be undone. Hair does not grow back on a wig. That is why we would rather ask one time too many before removing more.
