Wigs4u says it has been in the wig business for over 40 years and focuses on lightweight synthetic wigs made with Kanekalon fiber in mixed thicknesses, many with hand-tied monofilament tops. Its customers range from people with thinning hair, alopecia or chemotherapy hair loss to performers and drag artists, and it offers petite and short styles for smaller heads. The best reason to shop here is delivery: UK mainland orders over £25 ship free, smaller orders cost 95p, and orders placed before 1pm on a weekday typically leave the same day by Royal Mail signed-for post, with Special Delivery available for £10.99. Returns are accepted within 14 days for a refund to the original payment method, but the store does not offer exchanges, so a different color means a new order. As with most UK stores, wigs that have been worn, brushed or smell of smoke or perfume are refused.
