Wigs and cap constructions
What is the difference between a 5x5 Alopecia Cap and a 13x6 Lace Front wig?
The 5x5 Alopecia Cap has a lace area of approximately 13 × 13 cm and silicone strips along the sides that may provide additional grip and comfort. A 13x6 Lace Front has a larger lace area of approximately 33 × 15 cm at the front, offering more options for parting and styling. Both can be worn with or without hair loss.
What is an alopecia wig?
A wig for someone with alopecia should be chosen for comfort, fit and stability. Our 5x5 Alopecia Cap features silicone strips along the sides, which may be helpful if you have little or no natural hair. It can also be worn by people without alopecia.
Can I wear a 13x6 wig if I have alopecia?
Yes. Both constructions can be suitable. The best choice depends on your head shape, natural hair, comfort and styling preferences. We offer personal guidance.
Are all your wigs alopecia wigs?
No. We carry different cap constructions for different needs. Our 5x5 models are particularly suited to customers who prefer the additional grip of silicone strips, while 13x6 lace fronts offer versatile styling.
Are your wigs made from human hair?
Our First Class wigs are made from human hair. Our Second Class wigs combine human hair and synthetic fibres. Please check each product page for exact materials and specifications.
What does lace front mean?
A lace front is a fine mesh at the front of a wig, with individual hair strands attached to it. It helps create a natural-looking hairline. Parting options depend on the construction.
Can I wear a wig without glue?
That depends on the cap construction and how it fits. Our 5x5 Alopecia Cap has silicone strips that may offer extra grip, but fastening needs vary. We recommend a fit assessment.
How do I find the right wig size?
Take your head measurements with a soft measuring tape and compare them with our size guide. Book a consultation if you are uncertain.
Hair loss, financial support and consultations
Which wig is best for hair loss?
The best option depends on comfort, head shape, natural hair, preferred length and styling. Our 5x5 and 13x6 designs can both be considered.
Can I receive a grant for a wig in Denmark?
Depending on your situation, a municipality or hospital may offer financial support. For permanent hair loss, contact your municipality. For treatment-related temporary hair loss, ask your hospital department. Read our wig grant guide.
Can I use my municipal grant at Iconic Hair Lux?
We help customers with municipal grants. Whether a specific grant applies to a wig depends on its terms and any additional amount you may need to pay. Contact us before purchasing.
Can I receive a wig through my hospital during chemotherapy?
Hospitals may offer financial assistance or a voucher in some cases. Ask your treating department about the arrangements applicable to you.
Can I order before my grant is approved?
If you are applying for municipal support, you should generally get a decision before buying or ordering. Check with your municipality.
Can I book a personal consultation?
Yes. Book a consultation at our Frederiksberg shop for advice on fit, colour, cap construction and models.

Orders and wig care
Can I choose the hair length, colour and density?
Many models come in different lengths, cap sizes and densities. Available variations are listed on each product page. Contact us if you have a particular request.
What does hair density mean?
Density describes how full a wig looks. The best density depends on hair length and the style you prefer.
How should I care for a human hair wig?
Use suitable gentle care products and detangle carefully. Avoid excessive pulling or high heat, particularly around the lace and hair knots.
Can a wig be repaired?
Some types of wear can be repaired, including replacement of a worn lace front in suitable wigs. Contact us for an assessment.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on whether your model is ready to ship or is ordered in a specific configuration. Please ask about the current delivery time if your order is time-sensitive.
