Our Wigs
Are HairCity wigs made from real human hair?
Our human hair collections are made from 100% human hair. Individual product pages provide the relevant specifications for each wig, including hair type, texture, length, density, lace construction and other important attributes where applicable.
Does HairCity sell virgin human hair wigs?
Yes. Selected HairCity wigs are made from virgin human hair. Where applicable, this will be clearly stated in the product title, product description or product specifications.
What is the difference between human hair and virgin human hair?
Human hair refers broadly to wigs made from real human hair. Virgin human hair generally refers to hair that has not previously undergone significant chemical processing such as permanent colouring or relaxing. Product specifications should always be checked because processing and quality can vary between products.
What hair origins does HairCity offer?
HairCity may offer wigs described using commonly recognised hair-origin categories such as Brazilian, Indian, Peruvian and other supplier-defined origins. Available origins depend on the current collection.
What wig textures are available?
Depending on stock and collection, HairCity may offer textures such as Straight, Yaki Straight, Body Wave, Deep Wave, Water Wave, Loose Wave, Curly and other popular textures.
What wig lengths does HairCity offer?
HairCity may offer short, medium and long wigs ranging from pixie and bob styles to longer lengths. Available lengths vary by product.
What wig densities are available?
Available densities may include options such as 150%, 180%, 200% and other densities depending on the wig. Density describes the overall fullness of a wig rather than its length.
What lace types does HairCity offer?
Depending on the product, HairCity may offer lace types such as HD Lace, Transparent Lace and Swiss Lace. The exact lace specification will be shown on the relevant product page where applicable.
What lace sizes are available?
Available lace sizes may include 2×6, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 7×7, 13×4 and 13×6, depending on the product.
What is lace construction?
Lace construction describes how lace is incorporated into the wig cap. Common constructions include Lace Closure, Lace Front, 360 Lace and Full Lace.
What is the difference between a lace closure and a lace front wig?
A lace closure typically provides a smaller lace area concentrated around the top or front section of the wig. A lace front usually provides a wider lace area across the front hairline, giving greater flexibility in styling and parting.
What is a full lace wig?
A full lace wig is constructed with lace covering most or all of the cap rather than only a front or closure section. This generally allows greater styling flexibility.
What does glueless mean?
A glueless wig is designed to be worn securely without requiring adhesive. Depending on the design, it may use adjustable straps, elastic bands, combs or other securing features.
What does Wear & Go mean?
Wear & Go generally describes a wig designed for quick and convenient use with little or no additional preparation. Many Wear & Go wigs are glueless, although the two terms are not always identical.
Can I straighten or curl a human hair wig?
Many human hair wigs can be heat styled, subject to the product specifications and proper care. Always use suitable heat-protection products and avoid excessive heat, which can shorten the lifespan of the hair.
Can I colour a HairCity wig?
Some purchased human hair wigs may be suitable for colouring, but results depend on the hair type, previous processing and colour desired. We recommend obtaining professional advice before chemically treating any wig.
Can I colour or bleach a rental wig?
No. Rental wigs must not be permanently coloured, bleached, chemically treated or otherwise altered unless HairCity has given specific prior approval.
Choosing the Right Wig
How do I know which wig is right for me?
Your choice may depend on your preferred style, length, texture, colour, lace construction, density, budget, lifestyle and occasion. If you are unsure, contact HairCity WhatsApp Support for guidance.
Can HairCity help me choose a wig?
Yes. Our team can help you compare available options based on your preferences, budget and intended use.
Which wig is best for beginners?
Many beginners prefer glueless or Wear & Go styles because they generally require less installation and preparation. The best option will depend on your comfort level and desired look.
Which wig is best for everyday wear?
Everyday wigs should generally balance comfort, durability, ease of maintenance and natural appearance. Shorter styles, glueless wigs and versatile closure or lace-front constructions are popular choices.
Which wig is best for a special occasion?
The ideal wig depends on the event, outfit, desired style and level of formality. HairCity offers options suitable for weddings, graduations, birthdays, photoshoots, holidays, corporate events and other occasions.
Buying Retail Wigs
How do I buy a wig from HairCity?
Browse the HairCity retail collection, select your preferred wig and available options, add the product to your cart and complete checkout using the available payment and delivery methods.
Do I own the wig after purchasing it?
Yes. A retail wig purchased in full becomes yours, subject to HairCity’s applicable Terms & Conditions and Returns & Refunds Policy.
Can I reserve a retail wig?
Reservation or part-payment options may be available for selected products or arrangements. Where offered, the applicable terms will be communicated before confirmation.
Can I buy a wig that is also available for rent?
Some styles may be available in both retail and rental collections, but availability can differ. Check the relevant product page or contact HairCity for assistance.
Can I order a wig that is currently out of stock?
Selected products may become available again or may be obtainable through special order. Contact HairCity for availability information.
Wig Rentals
How does HairCity wig rental work?
Select an available rental wig, choose the applicable rental dates or rental period, complete the required booking details and make the necessary rental and deposit payments. The wig must then be returned by the agreed return date and in accordance with HairCity’s rental conditions.
Who should consider renting a wig?
Wig rental is ideal for customers who want access to a premium hairstyle for a specific occasion without purchasing the wig outright.
What occasions are rental wigs suitable for?
Rental wigs may be suitable for weddings, graduations, birthdays, photoshoots, holidays, corporate events, date nights, celebrations and many other occasions.
How long can I rent a wig?
Available rental periods depend on the rental product and booking options shown at the time of reservation.
Can I extend my rental?
An extension may be possible if the wig has not already been reserved by another customer. Extensions must be requested and approved before the original return date, and additional charges may apply.
Can I keep the wig longer without contacting HairCity?
No. Keeping a rental wig beyond the agreed return date without approval may result in late fees or other charges under HairCity’s rental terms.
Can I rent a wig far in advance?
Yes, where future dates are available. Booking early is strongly recommended for weddings, graduations and other important events.
Can someone else wear my rental wig?
The customer who books the rental remains responsible for the wig throughout the rental period. Any use of the wig must comply with HairCity’s rental conditions.
Can I cut the lace on a rental wig?
No unauthorized cutting or permanent alteration should be made to a rental wig. Rental wigs are prepared for use before dispatch or collection where applicable.
Can I cut, trim or restyle a rental wig?
Permanent alterations are generally not permitted without prior approval from HairCity. If you are unsure whether a styling method is acceptable, contact us before making changes.
Can I apply glue to a rental wig?
Use of adhesive should only be in accordance with the wig’s construction and HairCity’s rental care instructions. Excessive adhesive or improper removal that damages the lace may result in charges.
Are rental wigs cleaned between customers?
Yes. HairCity rental wigs are professionally cleaned, sanitized, prepared and inspected between rentals according to our rental-care procedures.
Will a rental wig look used?
Rental wigs are maintained and prepared before each booking. As reusable rental products, they may have been worn previously, but they are assessed and prepared before being issued to another customer.
What happens if I damage a rental wig?
Damage beyond reasonable wear may result in deductions from the security deposit or additional charges depending on the extent of the damage and applicable rental terms.
What happens if I lose a rental wig?
If a rental wig is lost or not returned, the customer may be responsible for the applicable replacement value and other charges under HairCity’s rental agreement.
What happens if I return a wig late?
Late returns may incur additional charges because delayed returns can affect subsequent bookings. Contact HairCity immediately if you believe you may be unable to return your wig on time.
Rental Deposits
Why do I need to pay a security deposit?
A refundable security deposit helps protect HairCity’s rental collection against loss, significant damage, unauthorized alterations and other costs beyond normal wear.
Is the security deposit part of the rental fee?
No. The rental fee is the cost of using the wig for the agreed rental period. The security deposit is held separately as security and may be refundable after the wig is returned and assessed.
Is my rental deposit refundable?
Yes, subject to the applicable rental conditions. The deposit is normally refundable once the wig and all supplied items have been returned on time and in acceptable condition, with no outstanding charges.
When could HairCity deduct money from my deposit?
Deductions may apply for matters such as damage beyond reasonable wear, unauthorized alterations, missing items, late return charges, excessive contamination, loss or failure to return the wig.
When will I receive my deposit refund?
Approved deposit refunds are processed after the returned wig has been inspected. Processing time may depend on the payment method used and other administrative factors.
What is the difference between a security deposit and a booking deposit?
A security deposit protects a rental item and may be refundable after satisfactory return. A booking deposit or reservation payment is generally an advance payment used to secure an order or booking and may form part of the total amount payable.
Orders & Payments
How do I place an order?
Select your product, choose the available options, add it to your cart and proceed through checkout. Follow the payment and delivery instructions shown during the order process.
How do I know if my order was successful?

Is payment secure?
HairCity uses appropriate payment and e-commerce services to support secure transactions. Payment providers may also apply their own security and verification measures.

Cash-on-delivery availability, where offered, may depend on location, order value, product type and HairCity’s current payment arrangements. Please check the options available at checkout or contact HairCity.
Can I pay a deposit and settle the balance later?
Part-payment or reservation arrangements may be available for selected transactions. Where applicable, the required amounts and payment deadlines will be communicated before confirmation.

Delivery
Does HairCity deliver across Zimbabwe?
Yes. HairCity offers delivery options to customers across Zimbabwe, subject to courier availability and the delivery arrangements applicable to your location.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery time varies according to location, product availability, order processing requirements and courier schedules. Any estimated timeframe should be treated as a guide unless HairCity has specifically guaranteed otherwise.
What is the difference between processing time and delivery time?
Processing time is the period required to prepare your order before dispatch. Delivery time is the period between dispatch and arrival at your destination.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery charges depend on your location, delivery method and other relevant factors. Applicable charges will normally be shown during checkout or communicated before confirmation.
Can I collect my order?
Collection may be available for selected orders or locations. Where available, HairCity will provide collection instructions once your order is ready.
Can I track my order?
Where tracking is available, HairCity or the delivery provider may provide tracking information after dispatch.
What if I need my wig for a specific date?
Order or reserve as early as possible and advise HairCity of the date you require the wig. This is particularly important for rental wigs and orders intended for weddings, graduations or other time-sensitive events.
What happens if my delivery is delayed?
Delivery delays can occasionally occur because of courier issues, weather, transport disruptions, public holidays or other circumstances outside HairCity’s reasonable control. Contact us if you have concerns about an order in transit.
What if I entered the wrong delivery address?
Contact HairCity as quickly as possible. If the order has not yet been dispatched, we may be able to update the details. Additional charges may apply where redirection or redelivery becomes necessary.
What should I do if my parcel arrives damaged?
Take photographs of the packaging where reasonably possible, inspect the contents and contact HairCity promptly if the product appears damaged or incomplete.
Returns, Exchanges & Refunds
Can I return a purchased wig?
Returns are subject to HairCity’s Returns & Refunds Policy and the condition of the product. Because wigs are personal-use products, eligibility may depend on factors such as whether the wig has been worn, altered, cut, washed, styled or otherwise changed.
Can I exchange a wig?
Eligible exchanges may be possible in accordance with HairCity’s applicable return and exchange conditions.
Can I return a wig after cutting the lace?
Cutting lace is generally considered an alteration and may affect return eligibility. Customers should fully inspect a purchased wig before cutting the lace or making any permanent changes.
Can I return a wig after wearing it?
Return eligibility may be affected once a wig has been worn. Please review HairCity’s Returns & Refunds Policy before using or altering the wig.
What if I received the wrong wig?
Contact HairCity promptly before wearing or altering the product. We will review the order and assist with the appropriate resolution.
What if my wig arrives with a defect?

Rental Returns
When must I return my rental wig?

How do I return a rental wig?
Follow the return instructions provided with your booking or communicated by HairCity. The wig and all accompanying rental items should be returned as instructed.

What happens after I return the wig?
HairCity will inspect the wig and accompanying items. If everything is returned in acceptable condition and there are no outstanding charges, the applicable security deposit refund can then be processed.
Wig Care
How should I care for a human hair wig?
Use gentle hair-care products suitable for human hair, detangle carefully, avoid unnecessary heat and harsh chemicals, and store the wig properly when it is not being worn.
How often should I wash my wig?
Washing frequency depends on how often the wig is worn, styling products used and environmental conditions. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the hair, so wash only when necessary.
Can I sleep in my wig?
Sleeping in a wig can increase friction, tangling and wear. Removing the wig before sleeping is generally preferable where practical.
Can I swim in my wig?
Swimming can expose hair to chlorine, salt water and tangling. It is generally not recommended unless the wig is specifically managed for that use.
How should I store my wig?
Store your wig in a clean, dry place away from excessive heat and direct sunlight. A wig stand, mannequin head or suitable storage container can help preserve its shape and reduce tangling.
How long will a human hair wig last?
Lifespan depends on hair quality, frequency of wear, styling, chemical processing, maintenance and storage. Proper care can significantly extend the useful life of a human hair wig.
Product Availability
Why is a wig showing as out of stock?
A wig may be temporarily unavailable because current stock has sold or been allocated to another order. Rental wigs may also be unavailable because they are booked for the dates selected.
Do rental wigs become available again?
Yes. A rental wig may become available again after the current booking period, return, inspection and preparation process.
Can HairCity notify me when a wig becomes available?
Where availability notifications or waiting-list functionality is offered, you may be able to request an alert. You can also contact HairCity to ask about future availability.
Are online product photographs exactly the same as the wig I will receive?
We aim to represent our products accurately. However, slight differences in appearance may occur because of styling, lighting, screens, hair movement and natural variations in human hair.
Promotions & Discounts
Does HairCity offer promotions?
HairCity may offer promotional prices, rental deals, discount codes or other special offers from time to time.
Can I use more than one discount code?
Unless a promotion specifically states otherwise, promotional codes generally cannot be combined.
Do promotions apply to rental wigs?
Some promotions may apply to retail wigs, rental wigs or selected products only. The terms of each promotion will indicate what is included.
Can a promotion apply to security deposits?
Security deposits are normally separate from promotional rental pricing and are generally not treated as a discounted rental charge unless specifically stated.
Customer Accounts & Orders
Do I need an account to order from HairCity?
Account requirements depend on the checkout options available on the Website. Where guest checkout is offered, you may be able to purchase without creating an account.
