Custom made
We have a custom made range which is exclusive to Trendco. Each piece is designed
and styled to the highest standard associated with Trendco. These pieces take approximately
10 - 16 weeks from start to finish. A hard template is taken, and then the wig is
individually designed specifically for the wearer, and they are virtually undetectable
to both sight and touch.
These are only suitable for people with total or partial hair loss; they are hard
wearing and extremely versatile. These pieces are charged at individual prices according
to the choice of hair type and hair length.
We do not buy or use hair from individuals wishing to donate or sell their hair.
We belong to a global group of companies that have their own factories which produce
all of these pieces for us.

condition that causes hair loss and is confirmed by a GP, are classed as necessity

Fashion Wearers
Often clients that are no longer necessity wearers may prefer to carry on wearing
wigs. Many people wear them to achieve the look they want without daily styling.
We have a range of hairpieces and wigs that are often worn for special occasions,
such as weddings and proms.
We supply regularly to films and television programmes including The Bill, Holby
City, Eastenders and Harry Potter. Madame Tussauds order ready to wear pieces from
us, as well as custom made wigs for their waxwork displays. Theatre groups and production
companies find our wide range of styles and colours are perfect for their needs.
Fibre Hair
For wash and wear convenience fibre wigs require less time and attention than those
made from human hair. Fibre hair is also less prone to colour fade than human hair
but cannot in any way be heat treated.
Any heat applied to a fibre wig will result in the hair becoming frizzy and broken
as the hair will effectively melt. Heat should be avoided from hair dryers, straighteners
and heated rollers or tongs. Care should also be taken when wearing your fibre piece
and opening oven doors, using a grill, toaster or any other heated appliance.
Fibre wigs should also be washed in warm and not hot water as hot water will straighten
the fibre hair.
At Trendco we recommend that you purchase between two and four fibre wigs every
year. The length of time a fibre wig will last depends on the style, the length
and how it is cared for. Permed or curled styles will need replacing more frequently
than waved or straight styles and may also need re-setting into their original style.
Continual wearing of a fibre wig will result in friction frizz at the base, especially
around the collar and through the length of the hair. The effects of this can be
lessened with the use of our Soft n Sheen product and by alternating between two
wigs, if you are a regular wearer.
Human Hair
Human hair needs to be cared for as if it were normal growing hair. The human hair
wigs are prone to colour fade and can be re-coloured, should your wig need re-colouring
we recommend you always seek professional advice.
Human hair wigs can be styled using heated products such as hairdryers and straighteners.
They can be set using conventional curlers and hood dryers or for a temporary curl
heated rollers can be used. We advise that you use suitable hair products to protect
the hair when you apply heat, we recommend our GHD range, which we have found works
the best.
At Trendco we recommend that you purchase two to three human hair wigs every year.
The length of time that a human hair wig will last depends on how it is cared for
and how often it is worn. When caring for your wig always comb or brush them with
the greatest of care, paying particular attention to the skin top and parting areas,
especially if the hair is tangled. Longer hair should be brushed from the ends first
and when the hair is smoothed out the brush can be taken fully through the hair.
