Buying a wig in Stockholm – the updated guide for 2025
Wigs are a source of joy, style and self-expression. Whether you want to try a new look, add extra volume or play with colour – wear your wig with pride.
Are you looking for a wig in Stockholm – for a change of style, extra volume or due to hair loss? This guide will help you choose the right model, fit and color, understand the difference between real human hair and fiber, and how requisitioning through healthcare works in the Stockholm Region. Whether you live in Södermalm, Östermalm, in Vasastan, on Kungsholmen, in Solna, Sundbyberg or Nacka, you will find everything you need for a safe purchase here.
Where to start? Need dictates the choice
Start with the purpose. Will the wig be worn daily, on occasional occasions, or during a period of hair loss? For everyday use, priority is given to comfort, a natural hairline, and ease of styling. For occasional needs, a pre-styled model can be convenient, while hair loss often requires extra focus on fit and materials that are gentle on the scalp.
Real hair vs fiber – what's the difference?
Real hair feels and behaves like your own, can withstand heat tools and can be gently colored. With proper care, it lasts the longest.
Fiber is easy to care for, keeps the hairstyle stable in humidity and wind and is often more budget-friendly. Modern fiber looks very natural and is available in many colors and textures. Choose according to your lifestyle: if you want to heat style and maximize naturalness – choose real hair; if you want easy care and shape stability – choose fiber.
Constructions: lace front, monotop and full lace
-
Lace front gives a natural hairline in the forehead – perfect if you want to be able to blow-dry or comb your hair back.
-
Monotop (monofilament) imitates the scalp at the top so that the bone looks realistic and can be moved slightly.
-
Full lace offers the most flexibility for styling but requires more care.
Choose the construction according to how you usually style: swept back, removable legs or sets.
Fit and size – measure your head correctly
A good fit makes the biggest difference in both comfort and appearance. Measure
-
circumference over the hairline and neck,
-
from forehead to neck over the crown,
-
from ear to ear across the top of the head.
Most end up in “medium,” but adjustable straps and combs fine-tune the fit. Sensitive scalp? Choose a soft, ventilated base and thin lacefront.
Color and tone – find your shade (or try something new)
Start with your skin tone and eye color. A color close to your natural shade feels safe and blends in instantly, while light highlights or warm caramel tones can add more life to your face. For an extra natural look: choose subtle shades like a darker base (rooted) or ombré instead of a full-on color.
Care that extends life expectancy
Wash gently in cool water with products intended for wigs and let air dry on a rack. To reduce friction and frizz during the night, a silk cap and mulberry silk pillowcase are recommended – gentle on both the fiber and the scalp and helps the hairstyle keep its shape longer.

In some cases, yes. Contact your healthcare provider in the Stockholm Region for an assessment. We can help with documentation and receipts as directed.
