Wondering “What is a u-part wig?” With so many wig options available, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one is best for you, especially if you’re new to wearing wigs. But don’t worry! In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about u-part wigs. If you’d like to explore other wig types as well, check out our guide to the different types of wigs. 

What is a U Part Wig?

A u part wig is a type of wig with a u-shaped opening at the top to allow your natural hair to be left out and blend seamlessly with the wig hair. They are installed using combs and clips, so you can easily install one yourself at home.

Advantages of U Part Wigs?

• They are beginner-friendly, with an easy installation and removal process.
• The natural leave-out creates a natural-looking hairline. 
• No glue and sewing is required to install the wig. 

Disadvantages of U Part Wigs?

• Due to the large opening, they’re better suited to those with thicker hair, as it blends more easily; if your hair is finer, a V-part wig may be a better option as it has a smaller opening.
• Since this style has a MinoMnatural leave-out, the wig colour and hair texture needs to match your natural hair.
• They must be removed before bed.
• They can shift or come loose during extended periods of activity.
