Ruby — Honey Blonde Highlight P4/27 Body Wave Lace Front Wig | 13x4 HD Lace
P4/27 is the highlight blend that flatters the widest range of skin tones — a warm chestnut base broken by honey ribbons, not chunks. Ruby keeps the root deliberately dark so the colour looks grown out rather than painted on, which is the single biggest tell separating a good highlight unit from a costume one.
Who this wig is for
For a first colour unit. Highlights read as expensive salon work rather than a fashion statement, so it works on people who cannot go bright at their job. If you want maximum contrast, look at our 613 blonde instead.

Styling and heat
Coloured hair is thirstier than natural — deep condition every third wear and use a purple-free hydrating mask. Heat under 350°F (175°C) only. Can be toned cooler by a colourist, but bring it to a professional rather than boxing it.
How to install Ruby
- Put on a wig cap and cut the lace, leaving about 1mm past the hairline.
- Cleanse your hairline, apply a thin layer of adhesive, and let it turn tacky.
- Lay the lace down, press with a damp cloth, and secure with an elastic band for 15 minutes.
- Lay your baby hair, part the unit, and style.
Care
- Wash every 8–10 wears with a sulphate-free shampoo, in cool water, in one direction.
- Condition the mid-lengths and ends only — never the knots at the lace.
- Air dry on a wig stand. Heat drying at the cap loosens the knots and causes shedding.
- Sleep in a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase.
- Store on a mannequin head, not folded in a drawer.

Questions people ask before buying this one
Does it wear shorter than the length I order?
Body wave loses about an inch to the wave pattern. Straighten it and the full length returns.
What density should I choose?
200% if it is a short unit or you want it dramatic; 180% for everything else. Short cuts and blunt lines need the extra hair to hold their shape — density is what stops a bob reading thin at the ends. 180% is what most people picture when they picture a wig.
Will it fit my head?
Almost certainly. The cap is an average 22–22.5" and the straps take it from 21" to 23", which covers the large majority of adults. Measure once to be sure: a tape around your head, just above the ears and across the middle of the forehead, then round the widest part of the back. That single number is your cap size. If you land outside 21–23", email us before you order rather than after.
Do I need glue to install it?
Your choice. A 13x4 frontal covers ear to ear, so most people glue it for a flush hairline. It will also wear glueless on the band and combs if you keep the parting central and lay your own edges over the lace. The lace ships uncut — trim it against your hairline before the first wear, leaving an eighth of an inch.
Can I dye or bleach it?
Darker only. The P4/27 highlight is bleached hair woven through unbleached, so the two take colour at different rates — a home dye job will go patchy. A toner to warm or cool the blonde is fine. Anything lighter belongs to a colourist.
How long will it last?
Twelve to eighteen months of regular wear. Textured units live or die by how they are washed — cold water, downward strokes, air dry, never brush it dry. Heat is what turns a defined curl into frizz permanently.

Before you order
- Dispatch: 1–2 business days. Orders placed after 2pm Friday (AWST) go out Monday. Australian orders are quoted 3–5 business days standard, 1–2 express, at checkout.
- Shipping is free on this unit. Every length and density here is over the $150 threshold, so standard delivery costs you nothing.
- 30 days to change your mind — uninstalled, lace uncut, unwashed. Cut the lace and it cannot come back, so check the fit and the colour before you trim.
- Highlights are placed by hand. P4/27 is woven, not printed — the ratio and placement of the blonde pieces varies slightly from unit to unit. Close enough that nobody but you would notice; far enough that two units bought months apart will not be identical twins.
Not sure on length or density? The size and density guide and the shrinkage chart answer both in about two minutes, and getting those right is what stops a return.
