HAIR TYPES
When you send us your hair sample, we will be able to match it from our very wide selection of human hair varieties.
European Hair - This hair has not been colour processed and as it is in a virgin state, it holds its colour perfectly. It is straight and soft. This hair is the purest but most expensive.
Asian Hair - this hair is as European Hair but is just fractionally coarser than European.
Asian Processed Hair - this hair is the same diameter hair as Asian non-Processed hair but as the hair is coloured, it is just slightly more porous. This hair is the most widely used in all our systems and has the most wonderful texture together with excellent condition. Perfect for Caucasian hair.
Chinese Processed Hair - this is slightly coarser than Asian hair and is most commonly used for people with thick hair and for Afro - Caribbean hair. This hair will normally have a Yaki texture (similar to the texture of relaxed hair) which makes it ideal for Afro/Caribbean clients.
When ordering a Great Looking Hair Wig we require a 50% non-refundable deposit after the first fitting with the balance on delivery. The wig system is guaranteed for up to 5 months.

How To Care For Your Great Looking Hair Wig
Do Not...
DO NOT expose to heat in excess of 160* (example opening an oven door)
DO NOT use any heated appliances on synthetic fibre Wigs.
How do I put on my wig?
Fix your own hair by pinning back or wearing a wig cap. Hold wig by the back for first time use shake it out! Loosen any Velcro straps or hooks in the back of the wig used for adjusting. Hold the wig by the sides and put it on your head. Position the wig until it is comfortable and in a natural position.
Caring for my Great Looking Hair Wig
1) Place your wig into bowl of warm water.
2) Add 2 tea spoons of Great Looking Hair Moisturising Shampoo.
3) Gently massage hair and rinse in fresh warm water.
4) Pat hair and add a little Great Looking Hair Moisturising Conditioner and comb through and rinse.
Caring for my Human Hair wig
After following the wash instructions as above it is very important to hold with one hand the root hair together with the wig base and then with the other hand gently brush the hair starting from the ends going up to the roots. Brush very gently at the area of the root and the wig base. It is recommended to have two or three wigs a year so that you can interchange them.
Can I use styling products with my new wig?
You can use styling products such as mousse, serum, sparkle and shine and light hairsprays. Make sure you read the instructions on the Great Looking Hair products.
Styling My Great Looking Hair Wig
Use a wire brush, or your fingertips. Whilst your wig has been designed with a basic style, you can achieve many variations of styles, by gently lifting or gentle back combing. To regain the original style just brush thoroughly and when cleaning allow to air dry.
You must...
Brush Synthetic fibre Wigs ONLY when dry.
Use products specifically designed for wigs. For example the Great Looking Hair range of hair care product. These are unique as they can be used on synthetic fibre and human hair.
What is the difference between Synthetic Fibre Hair and Human Hair?
Synthetic fibre is pre styled and therefore easy to maintain and much cheaper than Human hair wigs. However Human hair wigs need styling but are more natural and will last much longer and can be coloured to some degree.
How long does a synthetic fibre wig last?
You will get up to 12 weeks wear from your wig, if you are a daily wearer, after which it may start to go dry on the ends and loses it's shine, where as a human hair wig can last 18 months.
Monofilament Wigs
The monofilament in the wig is the cap within the wig. This has a special construction which gives great comfort and wearability. As shown in the diagram, the construction is very comfortable because of the weaving technique, which provides excellent ventilation. And will match your own individual scalp colour.
What makes some wigs more expensive than others?
The price of a wig depends on the materials used in the construction of the wig. Synthetic wigs are generally much cheaper than Human hair, and a more durable lightweight wig will raise the price. The expertise of the wigmaker and the beauty and quality of the eventual product will also determine the price, as will the method used in its construction, with a hand-knotted wig being more expensive.
Can Great Looking Hair colour match?
Yes, all you have to do is send us a sample of your hair and we will be more than happy to colour match it to your exact specifications.
Do you have a catalogue?
No, Great Looking Hair does not print a catalogue. New products are added to the site frequently, so you need to visit the website regularly to keep up-dated with all the latest wigs, Hair extensions and non surgical hair replacement & accessories.
Do you have a centre?
