How to Protect Your Return Options

This is an educational guide — not the official return policy. It explains what to do, what to photograph, and what to avoid so that your options remain open if something is genuinely wrong with your order.

Why This Guide Exists

Human hair wigs are personal care items. Once altered — lace cut, hair washed, knots bleached, ends trimmed — determining the original condition of the unit becomes significantly more difficult. This makes the ten minutes after unboxing the most important window in the entire purchase.

This guide is written to protect you — not to create obstacles. The clearer your documentation, the faster any genuine issue can be assessed and resolved.

This is educational guidance, not the official policy. For the exact terms — eligibility windows, conditions, and the submission process — refer to the AA WIGS Return Policy. This article explains how to put yourself in the strongest possible position before contacting support.

What to Do On Arrival

The sequence matters. Do these steps before anything else:

✓ Do — Before Opening

  • Photograph the outer shipping box on all visible sides
  • Note any external damage — dents, tears, moisture — before opening
  • Photograph the sealed burgundy presentation box before removing the lid

✓ Do — After Opening

  • Photograph the complete unboxed contents before handling individual items
  • Check all items against the contents list at What's in the Box
  • Complete the full First Ten Minutes inspection before proceeding
  • Photograph any specific concerns under natural daylight
  • Try the wig on without glue, tape, or cutting to evaluate fit and appearance

What to Photograph

Photographs taken before alteration are the primary form of evidence for any support request. Take all of these before proceeding with installation:

Keep all photographs in your camera roll with the original timestamps. Timestamps confirm when the photographs were taken relative to any alteration.

What to Avoid Before Contacting Support

If something looks wrong, stop here before proceeding. These actions are difficult or impossible to reverse and may affect how a concern can be assessed:

✗ Avoid Before Assessment

  • Cutting the lace — the most significant permanent alteration
  • Applying glue, tape, or bonding agents to the lace
  • Washing, conditioning, or treating the hair with any product
  • Bleaching knots or applying tint to the lace
  • Plucking the hairline
  • Applying heat (flat iron, curling iron, blow dryer)
  • Trimming or cutting the hair length
  • Applying any chemical service

None of these actions are wrong in themselves — they are normal parts of wig installation. The point is to complete them after confirming the unit is correct, not before.

How to Contact Support Effectively

If your inspection reveals a genuine concern, contact AA WIGS support before making any alteration. Include the following in your first message:

Having all of this in the first message significantly reduces the back-and-forth needed to assess the situation. The AA WIGS Concierge is available at the contact page.
