Guidelines For Listing Wig Products

Summary

  • One-line takeaway: Wig listings must be accurate, non-medical, and clearly show title, attributes, images, and care info.
  • Core Value/Change: ① Standardize titles: brand + material + type + style/length + color + audience ② Keep attributes consistent with product and detail page ③ Use truthful claims only
  • Red Lines & Compliance: ① No medical claims like treating hair loss ② No absolute claims like “never shed” ③ Don’t misstate material, length, dyeability, or after-sales promises
  • Actionable Steps: ① Fill required details: brand, material, length, density, color, size, packing list ② Add wearing and care instructions ③ Use clear images showing structure, color, length, and real effects

Guideline Scope

  • Absolute and extreme language:
    • 'Never knot', "Never shed", etc.
    • Use relative expressions such as "more natural" and "more supple", and avoid using expressions like "most", "only", and "absolute".

Product Attribute

Key attributes

Attributes are an important basis for buyers to search for products. Detailed product attribute information can help buyers quickly understand product features, thereby increasing the transaction rate. The following are the general attributes for wig products:
  • Brand: Consistent with the title, packaging, and product details page.
  • Materials:
    • Human Hair
      • If labeled "human hair", ensure that the entire wig/piece mainly uses human hair, and it is not allowed to claim "100% human hair" while actually only adding a small amount.
    • Heat-resistant Fiber
    • Ordinary Chemical Fiber
    • Mixed Hair
  • Length:
    • Short hair (about 7–11 inches)
    • Medium-length hair (about 13–17 inches)
    • Long hair (about 19–27 inches)
  • Density:
    • Use density percentage or weight, e.g., wig density is 180%/180g
    • Add explanations of the actual display effects, for example:
      • High density = the net base and scalp are hardly visible
      • Normal density = the scalp is faintly visible
      • Low density = the net base and scalp are clearly visible

    • Standardized color names:
      • Natural Black

Filling Specification

  • Authentic, Verifiable
    • Material, length, weight, etc. shall be consistent with the physical object.
    • Avoid writing high-temperature fiber as real hair.
    • Avoid writing 11 inches as 20 inches.
  • Consistent with the title and details
    • If writing "long curly hair" in the title, then avoid writing "short straight hair" in the attributes.
    • If writing "natural black" in the title, then avoid filling in "linen" for the attribute.
  • Functional attributes
    • 'Permable and dyeable' attribute: Only fill in when it is real human hair or high-temperature-resistant fiber that is clearly marked as heat-resistant.
    • Ordinary chemical fiber filaments generally cannot be dyed or permed, and the attribute shall not be marked as "dyeable and permable".
  • Special Purpose/Scenario
  • When designed for people with hair loss, it should be described as "suitable for daily coverage use by people with hair loss/thinning hair," and avoid terms such as 'treating hair loss'.

Product Images

Best practices for main image:
  • The main body of the product (the wig itself or the wearing effect) should be centered, and the main body should occupy the majority of the frame (approximately ≥ 80%).
  • It is recommended to use wearing effect image as the main image(real person or mannequin), which display full view of the length and style.
  • If the main image shows a hairstyle + accessories (hats, hair ornaments, etc.), add a reminder that the product does not include the displayed accessories to avoid misleading consumers.
Best practices for other images:
  • Multi-angle display
    • Wearing effects on the front/side/back
    • Close-ups of specific areas such as the crown, bangs, hair part, temples, and hair ends.
  • Structure and Intranet Details
    • Show the internal structure (hand-woven part, elastic band, adjustment buckle, etc.).
    • Show the workmanship of the scalp area
  • Color, length, and density display
    • For multi-color options, use color palette to display each color. Supplement with indoor and outdoor light images.
    • Display the hair length (approximately how many inches from the top of the head to the hair tip). Curly styles need to indicate the lengths after styling and after straightening.
    • Density actual shot: real pictures showing the density of the product from different angles and states.
  • Wearing comparison illustration
    • Display the 'comparison of hair volume on the top of the head before and after wearing', but it must be true and not be overly exaggerated.
    • Avoid using exaggerated, obviously photoshopped, or AI-generated comparison images to mislead consumers.
  • Usage/Care Instructions
    • For example, the scene of combing a wig, washing it, drying it, or storing it on a wig stand;
    • COS/stage wigs can show the overall effect in character-style makeup (note the issue of IP authorization).

Product Detail Page

The details page should include the following information/section:

Product basic information(required)

  • Brand
  • Material
  • Length
  • Density
  • Style
  • Color
  • Head circumference/size

Packing List (Required)

  • Detail the product packaging list, such as 'wig × 1, free hairnet × 1, instruction manual × 1',
  • Ensure that the packing list is consistent with the actual shipment in terms of both products and quantities.

Wearing Method and Adjustment Instructions (Required)

It is recommended to use steps + images or text descriptions, for example:
  • Comb the real hair smoothly, and use a hairnet to wrap and secure it.
  • Put on the wig from the forehead backward, aligning it with the hairline.
  • Adjust the front and back position of the wig to make it fit naturally.
  • Secure with built-in clips (if available), and adjust to a comfortable head circumference tightness.
  • Gently comb the wig to make it look natural and smooth overall.
Additional notes can be added:
  • For the first time wearing, it is recommended to adjust slowly in front of a mirror to find the appropriate position and tightness.
  • Do not overstretch the net cap to avoid damage.

Care and Maintenance Instructions (Required)

  • Cleaning frequency: It is recommended to determine based on the frequency of use, generally clean after every 7–10 uses
  • Cleaning method:
    • Soak in warm water + special wig care product/gentle shampoo, gently knead, do not squeeze or wring dry
    • After cleaning, gently press with a towel to absorb water, then let it air dry naturally and avoid direct sunlight.
    • Combing method: Use a wide-tooth comb and slowly comb from the ends of the hair upwards to avoid tugging forcefully.
    • Storage method: When not worn for a long time, place it on a stand or put it into a special storage bag along the grain, and keep it away from high temperatures and humid environments.
Explain material differences:
  • Human hair:
    • Can use low-temperature curling iron, and dyeing can be carried out under the guidance.
    • It requires the same care as real hair, and frequent perming and dyeing are not recommended.
  • High-temperature fiber:
    • Generally not dyeable, and avoid putting it close to high temperature fire sources (such as stoves, ovens, etc.).
  • It is not recommended to wear wigs while sleeping, bathing, or swimming to extend their service life,
  • Avoid contact with open flames and high temperatures (such as inside a dryer or near an open flame stove),
  • For components such as metal clips, add a reminder for people allergic to metals,
  • Add reminder that when the target is children, it should be used under adult supervision to avoid the risk of accidentally ingesting small parts or getting entangled.
  • Remind certain groups of people to use with caution or pay attention:
    • Individuals with open wounds on the scalp or severe skin diseases should wait until their skin condition improves before wearing.
    • Those allergic to chemical fibers/metals need to pay attention to the materials and consult doctors before use.
  • For quality issues (such as severe hair loss, cap damage, severe color difference, etc.), handling methods should be provided.
  • Do not promise unachievable after-sales services (such as "refund available at any time even after use").
