You spend £300, maybe £500, on a good quality wig…
It should have been an investment, but a few months in, it’s dry, tangled, and nothing like when you first unboxed it. Sound familiar?
Most wig wearers go through the same cycle: buy, wear, panic, abandon. Not because the hair was “bad”, but because there’s no aftercare support once it leaves the packaging.
At REVAMP, we’ve transformed hundreds of wigs since launching in July 2024, and we’ve seen it all. The truth is, 80% of wigs that get thrown away could’ve been brought back to life, for a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Wigs Aren’t Disposable, They’ve Just Been Treated That Way
Let’s be real: when you spend hundreds on a wig, you should be able to protect that investment. But the moment it tangles, mats, or loses its bounce, most people assume it’s done. That’s because:
→ Stylists rarely offer ongoing wig maintenance
→ Brands don’t offer aftercare or refresher services
→ You’re left DIYing it at home, hoping for the best
There’s no guidance. No specialist support. Just YouTube videos and a detangling brush.

What We’re Seeing at REVAMP
Since we launched, we’ve worked with everyone from first-time wig wearers to NHS patients to stylists and influencers. The common thread?
They didn’t know revival was possible until we showed them.
From deep conditions and lace replacements to wig reconstructions and lace ventilations, we’ve helped restore wigs that were written off. And we’ve saved our clients up to 80% vs. replacing the unit entirely.

3 Signs Your Wig Can Be Saved
If you’re wondering whether your wig is still worth saving, look out for these:
Lace is balding or ripped
→ Solution: We offer lace replacements using HD 100% virgin lace or lace ventilation
The hair is dry, matted or lifeless
→ Solution: A deep condition, trim and restyle can bring it back
It doesn’t sit right anymore
→ Solution: We offer wig reconstructions and resizing
Even if you’ve coloured it, worn it to death or let it sit for months, it’s worth checking. Worst case, we’ll be honest if it can’t be saved. Best case? You fall back in love with a unit you’d forgotten about.

What Happens at REVAMP
We’re not a salon, we’re a UK-wide, postal wig aftercare service built for real people who want to protect their wigs.
Our clients send us their wigs by post, we do our thing in the REVAMP lab, and return them good as new within 3-10 working days.
It’s simple, discreet, and affordable. Just how it should be.

The Bottom Line
The wig economy is growing, but without proper aftercare, it’s costing wearers more than it should.
At REVAMP, we’re building the missing layer: wig aftercare that’s affordable, accessible, and actually works.
So before you bin that old wig, give it a second chance.
Because 9 times out of 10, it’s not done, it just needs a REVAMP.
