Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are your wigs made from 100% human hair?

Larkette Studio offers a carefully curated selection of 100% human hair and human hair blend wigs. Each product page clearly states the hair type, so you always know exactly what you're purchasing.

2. What's the difference between Human Hair and Human Hair Blend?

100% Human Hair

  • Made entirely from human hair.
  • Can be heat styled and coloured (professionally recommended).
  • Offers the most natural look and longest lifespan.

Human Hair Blend

  • A combination of human hair and premium heat-resistant synthetic fibres.
  • Holds its style longer and requires less daily maintenance.
  • More affordable while still providing a natural appearance.
  • Heat styling is possible on many blends, but always follow the care instructions provided on the product page.

3. How do I know what type of wig I'm buying?

Every product page clearly indicates whether the wig is 100% Human Hair or Human Hair Blend. You'll also find details about the lace type, cap construction, density, length, and care instructions.

4. Can I straighten or curl my wig?

Yes. Most of our wigs can be heat styled, but the recommended temperature depends on the hair type.

  • 100% Human Hair: Can be straightened, curled, and styled just like your natural hair. We recommend using a heat protectant to maintain its quality.
  • Premium Human Hair Blend: Most of our human hair blend wigs are made with heat-resistant fibres and can be styled using low to medium heat. Always check the maximum recommended temperature listed on the product page before using hot tools.

Each product page clearly states the hair type and heat styling recommendations, so you can shop with confidence.

5. How long will my wig last?

The lifespan of your wig depends on the hair type, how often it's worn, and how well it's cared for.

  • 100% Human Hair: With proper care, your wig can last 12–24 months or longer. Regular washing, conditioning, and proper storage will help keep it looking its best.
  • Premium Human Hair Blend: With proper care, your wig can last 6–12 months. Human hair blend wigs are designed to maintain their style well and require less day-to-day styling, making them a great option for everyday wear.

To maximise the lifespan of any wig, we recommend using sulphate-free hair products, avoiding excessive heat, and storing your wig on a stand or in a satin bag when not in use.

6. Is the wig beginner-friendly?

Yes. Both our 100% Human Hair and Premium Human Hair Blend wigs are designed to be comfortable, easy to wear, and suitable for both beginners and experienced wig wearers.

  • 100% Human Hair: Offers the most natural look and can be customised and styled to your preference. Some styles may require light customisation, depending on the lace type.
  • Premium Human Hair Blend: A great choice for beginners. These wigs are low maintenance, hold their style well, and are ready to wear with minimal effort.

Each product page includes details about the wig's construction, lace type, and whether it's glueless or requires adhesive, making it easy to choose the option that best suits your needs.

7. Can I colour or bleach the hair?

It depends on the type of wig you purchase.

  • 100% Human Hair: Yes. Human hair wigs can be coloured, toned, or bleached. For the best results and to preserve the quality of the hair, we recommend having any colouring or bleaching done by a professional hairstylist.
  • Premium Human Hair Blend: We do not recommend colouring or bleaching human hair blend wigs. The blend of human hair and heat-resistant fibres does not react to hair dye or bleach in the same way as natural human hair, and attempting to colour it may damage the fibres.

Each product page clearly states the hair type, so you'll know exactly what styling and colouring options are available before you purchase.

8. How long does delivery take?

Orders are processed within 1–2 business days.

Estimated delivery: 7–10 business days.

You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.

9. Do you deliver throughout South Africa?

Yes. We deliver nationwide using trusted courier partners.

Each product page includes details such as length, density, lace type, cap size, and colour. If you're unsure, our team is happy to help you choose the perfect wig.
