How to Design Your Perfect Glitter Strand Wig (Step-by-Step Guide)

With the freedom to design your own glitter strand wig it’s about creating a look that feels like you. Whether you want something soft and subtle or bold and attention grabbing, this step-by-step guide will help you craft a wig that matches your exact vision.

✨ Step 1: Choose Your Base Wig Color

Your base color sets the entire tone of your look. It is the foundation your sparkle will sit on.

• Black → sleek, bold, high contrast sparkle
• 613 Blonde → bright, eye-catching, full glam energy
• Chocolate Brown → soft, natural glow with dimension
• Brown & Blonde Mix → dimensional, sun-kissed sparkle
• Copper Ginger → warm, radiant, and feels like autumn 
• Burgundy Red → rich, deep, statement-making

💡 Tip: If you want your glitter to pop, go darker. If you want a blended glow, go lighter.

🍬 Step 2: Pick Your Glitter Strand Color

This is where your personality really comes through. Your glitter strands can completely transform the vibe of your wig.

Think in terms of energy:

• Soft & Pretty → pinks, golds, silvers
• Bold & Loud → bright reds, blues, greens, holographic mixes
• Warm & Cozy → amber, black, copper, honey tones
• Cool & Ethereal → icy silver, purple, pearl, iridescent

💡 Tip: You don’t have to stick to one color. Mixing strands creates a custom effect you won’t see anywhere else. Just send us a DM or Email saying that you want a specific double glitter strand mix and we'll see what we can do!

🎨 Step 3: Decide Your Overall Vibe

Before locking in your design, ask yourself: What do I want this wig to say about me?

Here are a few vibe directions you can choose from:

• Candy-Inspired → playful, sweet, colorful combinations (Ex: Brown w/ Honey Blonde Highlights Base with Golden Brown Glitter Strands gives Chocolate Caramel Vibes)
• Ethereal Glow → soft sparkle, dreamy and light (Ex: Blond 613 Base with Pearl White or Silver Glitter Strands)
• Bold Statement → high contrast, attention-grabbing shine (Ex: Burgundy Red Base with 7 Color aka "sugar rush")
• Everyday Sparkle → subtle glitter that elevates your daily look (Ex: Natural Black Base with Black Glitter Strands)

💡 Tip: Your vibe helps guide your color choices so everything feels cohesive.

💇🏽Step 4: Choose Your Install Method

Your install method determines how the glitter reflects light, shows up, and moves.

• Peek-a-Boo Install → Glitter strands peek out from underneath the hair when you move. A softer, more relaxed sparkle. 
• Glitz and Glam Install →  Glitter strands rain from the middle part giving you a bold statement shine no matter how you move. Think MORE dimension and shine, glitter stands out more and so do you.

💡 Tip: Peek-a-Boo Install = Best for more parting freedom since the glitter strands are installed along the edge of the 13x6 lace. Glitz and Glam Install = Best for our bold, middle-part divas since the glitter strands are installed at the middle part.
