The Fantasy Girl does not prescribe a set formula for wig choices.

  • Have fun with your wigs
  • Try new looks
  • Change hair colors

We have human hair wigs, monofilament (hand tied front hairline) wigs, and wigs that have skin caps, which have the look of natural skin under the hair which creates a very realistic and natural look when creating parts in the hairstyle. Our wigs have the look and feel of natural hair. Many are pre styled for easy shake and wear use. Our wig prices are fair and you will get excellent quality for the money spent.

How do we offer wigs at such low prices compared to other web sites?

We buy direct from the manufacturers, cutting out the distributors and middleman, passing the savings on to you. Buy making volume puchases we also get a huge discount from the wig makers. Similar wig styles sell for 3 to 4 times as much at wig salons and other web sites. A few of the styles we sell are exclusive to the fantasygirl, we have them made specifically for us.

The wig styles offered here at thefantasygirl.com have been chosen by Sofie with the intent of having the best styles possible for feminizing the male facial structure.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING WIGS

If you are small in stature or have a narrow face don’t pick a style that is too wide or long.If you are tall or large don't pick a style that is to short or to close to the face.

By changing your hairstyle and color, you can change your appearance and how you are viewed by society. Women do it all the time when the change their hair style and or color.

EYE COLOR AND COMPLEXION (after foundation) Blue eyes go great with red wigs and with blond wigs. Brown eyes favor Auburn to darker tones. If you use a light tone foundation, be careful with dark colored wigs as this will draw increased attention to your face. Dark foundations favor tones from light chocolate to jet black. Keep in mind however there are no set rules. What looks good is good. You don't have to match your existing hair color when purchasing a wig! Experiment and gave fun, a new style and color wig can let you experiment with a new personality!

HOW TO PUT ON A WIG 

Brush your own hair back and into a small ponytail if needed. Make sure any hair at temples is brushed back, use mousse or hair spray if needed. Place a wig cap over you head, these are great for pulling skin above eyes upward and creating a feminine arch to your eyebrows. Shake wig gently, then place front hairline in position. Pull back hairline down to nape of neck. Most wigs come with an adjustment set of tabs in rear. These can be tightened or loosened for comfort and a snug fit. There are also "tabs" that align just over the temples. Check in mirror for proper hairline. You may want to ensure your wig is going to stay in place if you are going out to a nightclub to dance. Sometimes people give you hugs and may cause your hair to shift of fall off. Or you may be in bed with that special someone and want to ensure your wig stays in place! There are a few ways to accomplish this. You can use pins and place the through the wig and wig cap into your natural hair. This is fine for daytime and casual use. I suggest using hair tape or hair glue to really make sure your wig stays on when out dancing or anytime you need to ensure your wig stays put! Both the tape and glue is applied at the hairline and nape of neck.

WIG STYLING 

I strongly recommend using a wig pick. Brushes will damage most wigs if you are not experienced in how to use them.

First gently shake the wig after removing it from the box. Many wig styles will shake into the basic style they were designed to be. A light touch of hair spray will set the style in place. Other wigs need styling, and sometimes you may wish to alter the style of an existing wig. Using a wig pick move the hair into the desired position, starting at roots of hair. Sometimes gently teasing the roots will make the hair go where you want it to go. Using hair spray lightly as you "pick" the hair into the positions you desire. With practice you can make wigs have twice the volume and create totally new styles.

CLEANING YOUR WIG

Fill sink basin with cool water. Use the amount recommended on your wig cleaning product label or use baking soda.

Gently swish the wig in the basin for about 30 seconds. Then let the wig soak in the basin for 15 minutes. Empty the basin of water and rinse the wig in cool water. Warm or hot water will damage curly or wavy wigs!!!

Squeeze out excess water gently. Spread wig out on a thick towel, spray on a small amount of wig conditioner and leave out overnight to dry.

When the wig is completely dry shake it gently, many styles will fall into place. Otherwise, use the methods described above for re-styling your wig to its original or a new style.

DO NOT use hot blow dryers, hot curling irons or hot curlers on your wig!

To bring back curly styles, place wig on a wig head and pin in place. Spritz lightly with lukewarm water and set the curls using curlers that have not been heated. I recommend wire mesh rollers, use a lot of rollers taking just a small amount of hair into each roller. Spritz again with COLD Water. Let sit over night and remove curlers in morning, and loosen curls with fingers or a wig pick. Your wig should be washed every 12 to 15 wearings, depending on the environment.
