Q: Will the waves hold their pattern after washing?

A: Yes. The Cascata's waves are cold-set at the strand level during cap construction — not heat-stamped onto the surface. After washing with sulfate-free shampoo and air-drying, the wave pattern reforms naturally. For tighter definition, scrunch damp hair with a curl cream and diffuse on low heat. For straighter styles, flat-iron on 180°C (356°F) — the waves return with the next wash.

Q: How does 13x4 lace compare to a full lace wig?

A: A 13x4 lace frontal covers ear-to-ear with a 4-inch parting depth — enough for side parts, middle parts, and swept-back styles. A full lace wig has lace across the entire cap, allowing for high ponytails and updos. The Cascata uses a 13x4 frontal because it balances styling versatility with durability: less lace means fewer tension points and a longer lifespan. For most daily wear — down styles, half-up, low ponytails — 13x4 is the sweet spot.

Q: Can I sleep in The Cascata?

A: We recommend removing The Cascata before sleep to preserve the lace and prevent friction matting. If you must sleep in it, wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf and use a silk pillowcase. The elastic band and combs are secure enough for overnight wear, but routine overnight use will shorten the wig's lifespan to approximately 8–10 months versus 12–18 with nightly removal.

Q: Does the pre-plucked hairline look realistic on lighter skin tones?

A: The HD Swiss lace is translucent and adapts to a wide range of skin tones. The pre-plucked hairline uses graduated density — denser at the crown, progressively sparser toward the front edge — which mimics natural hair growth regardless of skin tone. For an exact match, dab your foundation along the lace parting line after installation.

Q: How do I store The Cascata when not in use?

A: Store on a wig stand or mannequin head in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or compressing the cap — creased lace is irreversible. For travel, use a silk-lined wig bag. The Cascata ships with a storage net; use it.
