Body

At SPARX, our mission is to make your wig life a total breeze! For many of you, this is your first time wearing hair — exciting, but also a little overwhelming. Like anything, the right tools can make all the difference between an easy wig routine and a frustrating one. Below is our curated list of must-have wig items — a few of these you'll want to order right away. ❤️

Tools for Success

  1. Petite Rubber Mannequin Head — We call this "home base." It's petite, so it won't stretch out your wig, and the rubber base lets you secure your wig with sewing pins while keeping the natural dome shape of the head.
  2. Clamp or Tripod
  • A clamp is ideal for low-maintenance wig wearers.
  • A tripod is ideal for human hair wigs or anyone who likes to style their hair regularly.
  1. Sewing Pins — Unlike T-pins, sewing pins won't pull the hair when you brush your wig.
  2. Wet Brush — The flexible design lets you brush through your wig quickly and gently, without pulling on hair or knots that can cause shedding.
  3. Teasing Brush — Makes it easy to redirect knots and hair, so "setting" your wig is a breeze.
  4. Curling Iron — BioIonic Style Winder — Easily alternate curls, with heat settings that can be set low.
  5. Flat Iron — BioIonic OnePass — Heat settings can be set low, ideal for both human hair and synthetic fibers.
  6. Hot Rollers — Great for anyone who curls their hair regularly.

Hair Care Products — By Hair Type

Since the right shampoo, conditioner, and styling products depend on which hair type you have, we've broken those out into dedicated guides:

Head to whichever guide matches your wig for the specific products, heat settings, and routines that work best for your hair.

Total Investment

Depending on whether you need to invest in a flat iron and curling iron, total tool investment typically ranges from $68–$826. We know this looks like a lot up front, but the right tools really do make your wig life so much easier!
