HIM Grit

Grit by HIM | HairUWear Men's Collection

Grit by HIM is a longer, razor-cut style with free-flowing length on top and loosely textured sides and back. Built on a 100% hand-tied base with a monofilament top and a temple-to-temple sheer lace front, it weighs 2.25 oz on an Average Large cap. The name fits: this is a casual, lived-in cut with some attitude behind it.

The piecey, razor-cut lengths run long enough to tuck behind the ears when you want it sleek, or leave loose when you don't. The lace front was engineered specifically for HIM and produces a hairline convincing enough to style forward or pushed straight back. Underneath, the fully hand-tied base means every hair is individually knotted, so the piece moves and falls the way growing hair does rather than sitting in a fixed direction — which is what makes a longer, textured cut like this work.

Style Highlights

• 100% hand-tied base — every hair individually knotted for natural movement and a soft, flexible feel against the head.
• Monofilament top — hair appears to grow from your own scalp, and you can part it wherever you like.
• Temple-to-temple sheer lace front — a hairline that holds up styled forward or swept back.
• Piecey razor-cut layers — 5.25" on top tapering to 3" at the sides and nape, with real separation rather than a blunt line.
• Long enough to tuck — wear it loose and textured, or tucked behind the ears for a sleeker finish.
• Anti-slip silicone-lined ear tabs and extended nape — secure hold with no adhesive, tape, or glue.
• Kanekalon Excelle heat-friendly fiber — define the texture or smooth the sides with low to moderate heat.
• Average Large cap — fits head sizes on the larger side of average, which is often hard to find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Grit by HIM best suited for?

Grit suits anyone wanting a natural, lived-in style with some edge to it — men, women, and non-binary wearers alike. The longer razor-cut layers and volume on top create balance that works especially well for oval, square, and oblong face shapes. It is also a practical choice for full hair loss, thinning, and hair loss during medical treatment.

What cap size is Grit, and will it fit me?

Grit is built on an Average Large cap, sized for head circumferences on the larger side of average. Measure around your head from the front hairline, above the ears, and around the nape, then check our Wig Size Chart by Brand before ordering. If you're between sizes, send us your measurement and we'll advise.

What does 100% hand-tied mean, and why does it matter here?

Every hair on the cap is knotted in by hand rather than machine-sewn onto wefts. Two things follow from that. The hair lifts and falls independently instead of in fixed rows, which is what allows a longer, textured cut to look genuinely lived-in. And the base itself is softer and more flexible against the head, which matters over a full day of wear. Hand-tied construction is also the most durable, which is part of why these pieces outlast machine-made ones.

Can Grit be styled forward and back?

Yes, and that's the point of the temple-to-temple lace front. Because the lace runs the full width of the hairline rather than covering only the center, you can push the hair straight back off your face without exposing an edge. Wear it forward and textured, swept back, or tucked behind the ears.

How does Grit stay on without adhesive?

The ear tabs and extended nape are lined with anti-slip silicone, which grips against the skin rather than sliding on it. That combination holds the piece securely through normal daily activity with no tape, glue, or adhesive — and no solvents or residue when you take it off.

Can I heat style Grit?

Yes. Grit uses Kanekalon Excelle heat-friendly synthetic fiber, so low to moderate heat tools can be used to define the piecey layers or smooth the sides. Always use a heat protectant and begin at the lowest setting, working up only if needed — synthetic fiber cannot recover from heat damage the way growing hair does. See our Wig Fiber Guide for detail.

What are the exact measurements of Grit?

Grit measures 5.25" at the front, 5.25" at the crown, 3" at the sides, 5" at the back, and 3" at the nape, and weighs 2.25 oz. It is a longer razor-cut textured style on an Average Large cap with a 100% hand-tied base, monofilament top, and temple-to-temple sheer lace front.

How do I wash and care for Grit?

Wash every 6 to 8 wears with a sulfate-free shampoo made for synthetic fiber. Detangle gently first, then submerge and swish in cool water without rubbing, and rinse thoroughly. Lay flat or hang to air dry — never blow dry on high heat. Once dry, work the piecey texture back in with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Because this is a longer, textured style, restoring the separation after washing is part of the routine rather than a sign anything is wrong.

How long does Grit last with regular wear?

With proper care, expect roughly 4 to 6 months of daily wear, and up to a year or longer with occasional use. The 100% hand-tied construction and Kanekalon Excelle fiber both contribute to durability compared with machine-made alternatives. Gentle washing, moderate heat, and storing it on a wig stand between wears all extend its life.
