Wigs by Hair Creations

Choose, wear, and care for your wig with confidence, with these 7 tips.

1. Choose the right size for comfort and security

95% of people fit the standard Average size wig. But follow our easy size guide to be sure. Your wig needs to fit perfectly to be comfortable and secure.

2. Use these techniques to pick a colour you love

Use the colour thumbnails shown for each wig in combination with our special colour ring to choose your perfect shade. If you’re a first-time wig wearer or have hair loss, you may wish to match your original shade. However, you might also consider splashing out with a brand new look!

3. Enjoy the freedom of not needing to style your hair

Our synthetic wigs come pre-styled — just shake and go! Brushing is not necessary and can damage your wig. Use your fingers or a wig comb to part your wig in different ways.

4. Follow a simple maintenance routine

We’ll teach you a simple washing and maintenance routine for proper care of your wig. We sell special wig combs and stands, and can recommend suitable shampoos and conditioners to extend the life of your wig.

Caring for your synthetic wig

5. Keep wigs away from heat

Permanent damage can result from heat from ovens, barbeques, open fires, hot steam and even hair dryers. Avoid wearing your wig when you’re cooking – use a hat or scarf instead, or try one of our comfortable buffs or turbans. See our Accessories pages for details.

6. Have a back-up wig or wigs

Having two or more wigs means peace of mind. You can wear one while another is being washed or dried. If one wig is damaged, you can wear another. Having more than one wig also extends the life of your wigs, as you will wear them in turn.

7. Call our expert consultants!

We’re here every week day from 9 am until 5 pm for free, ongoing support. Call us for any guidance or reassurance you need for styling, wearing or caring for your wig. Our number is on the bottom right of every page on this website: 09 357 6159

We had such a lovely visit with Paula today. My mum was feeling very nervous coming into this appointment, but Paula made it light hearted and fun. Mum left with a huge smile on her face - and a beautiful wig! Thank you so much!

Paula was very helpful and patient, supporting me to try several options and to try on my favourites several times. It is a new experience for me to wear a wig, and she was very helpful. Wig creations have a great selection to choose from.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an outstanding experience with Wigs by Haircreations. From the very beginning, Cece was incredibly helpful, keeping me updated throughout the Ministry of Health funding process and always responding to my questions promptly. My consultation with Dani was the highlight. She made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, explained the different options without any pressure, and her knowledge and professionalism were obvious throughout. I left feeling genuinely listened to and confident that we'd found the right solution. What impressed me even more was the level of care throughout the process. There was an unavoidable delay due to a personal family emergency, but Cece kept me informed, communicated openly, and I never felt forgotten. Despite everything they had going on, they still made me feel like a priority, which says a lot about how much they care about their clients. For something that can be quite a personal and emotional experience, Dani approached everything with kindness, empathy and warmth. I walked away thinking, "That was one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long time." I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wigs by Haircreations to anyone looking for expert advice and genuinely caring service. Thank you, Dani and Cece, for making what could have been a stressful experience feel supportive, professional and genuinely personal.

I had a lovely appointment with Paula who took time to listen to what I wanted and showed me the best wigs for the look I wanted. Paula found me two beautiful looks and helped me with the care products. I felt heard and would definitely recommend anyone losing their hair after a wig that suits them to work with Paula. Thank you so much for the advice, products you showed me and the time you took to help me find my beautiful wigs.
