Shop Braided Wigs See Why JALIZA Looks Real

Will Braided Wigs Look Bulky and Wiggy?

Not when they’re built the right way. JALIZA braided wigs are hand-tied into full lace, finished with real Swiss HD lace and clean parting details so the braids look like they’re growing from your scalp. The cap lays flat, so you get a natural silhouette instead of a “helmet” look.

“Love this wig! I have not officially worn it yet. This picture is straight out of the box without any lace spray or anything. Very lightweight. I will definitely purchase another braided wig from this site.”

“This is about my 6th purchase from Jaliza and I was a bit apprehensive as this is new style for me, but this did not disappoint! Absolutely love it. It's not itchy and it really looks good on. I only put a little adhesive in the front and just go. Haven't slept in it yet (a bit nervous) but it is most def a game changer for me. I will for sure continue shopping here. :)”

Will Braided Wigs So Heavy and Break My Neck?

JALIZA wigs are built to feel lightweight for daily life. Our full lace construction removes bulky wefts, and we use premium lightweight fiber for the braids, plus 100% human hair for boho curls, so the feel can be as light as only 4-5 eggs.

Will JALIZA Braided Wig stay secure on my head?

Yes, security is designed into the cap. JALIZA offers 5 in-stock cap sizes so the wig actually fits your head (instead of one-size-fits-all). Then our Triple Secure construction (elastic band + adjustable straps + combs) keeps it stable for daily wear.
