Tessa by Noriko: Dramatic Curls, Effortless Elegance
Meet the Tessa by Noriko — a medium-length synthetic wig that delivers polished, romantic style right out of the box. Part of the renowned Noriko Collection, Tessa pairs a striking A-line cut with pre-set loose curls for a look that feels both effortless and refined. Please note: Tessa is discontinued once sold out, so if this style speaks to you, act while stock remains.

Cap Construction
The Tessa by Noriko is built on a large monofilament cap that is both hand-tied and sheer at the part. This construction creates a realistic illusion of natural hair growth, giving the part a soft, skin-like appearance. The open wefted design throughout the rest of the cap promotes airflow, keeping the wig light and cool during extended wear — a particularly welcome feature for those wearing wigs daily.

- Construction details: Hand-Tied, Open Wefted
- Cap size: Large
Because Tessa is sized as a large cap, it's a good idea to confirm your measurements before purchasing. Visit our Wig Size Chart by Brand for guidance.
Fiber & Styling
Tessa is crafted from standard synthetic fiber, which means it is not heat-friendly. Flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers should not be used. The upside? The curl pattern is pre-set at the factory, so the style is ready to wear the moment you put it on.

Who Is Tessa For?
Tessa is an excellent match for anyone who wants a polished, romantic style with zero styling effort. The voluminous curls and shoulder-length A-line silhouette lend themselves to a wide variety of occasions — from weddings and date nights to special events and everyday elegance. The open wefted cap also makes it a comfortable, breathable option for women experiencing hair loss or undergoing medical treatment.
The full, curly silhouette tends to complement oval, heart, and square face shapes beautifully. Use our Face Shape Analyzer to see how Tessa's A-line curl style might look on you.
Care & Maintenance
To keep Tessa's curl pattern looking its best, follow these care guidelines:
- Wash every 10–15 wears using a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo and cool water
- Gently submerge and swish — never rub or wring
- Apply a lightweight synthetic conditioner, rinse thoroughly, and air dry on a wig stand
- Avoid brushing curls when wet; use fingers or a wide-tooth pick to reshape as they dry
- Store on a wig stand and avoid friction from collars or scarves to preserve the curl pattern
With proper care, Tessa typically lasts four to six months with daily wear, or considerably longer with less frequent use.
