Meet the VIOLET by Henry Margu

The VIOLET by Henry Margu (Style #4516) is a long-length synthetic wig built on more than 70 years of Henry Margu craftsmanship. Featherlight, ready-to-wear, and designed for a natural-looking fit, it suits daily wear, professional environments, and special occasions alike. If you're looking for an elegant long style that combines comfort with thoughtful construction, VIOLET is worth a close look.

Cap Construction & Fit

The cap on the VIOLET by Henry Margu is one of its most distinctive features. It is built with a 100% hand-knotted stretch cap and a monofilament top, which creates a realistic scalp appearance and allows the hair to move naturally in multiple directions. A medical-grade application is incorporated at the front hairline and eartabs, making this style a strong option for those experiencing hair thinning or medical hair loss who need gentle, secure coverage.

  • Cap Construction: 100% hand-knotted stretch cap with monofilament top
  • Medical Application: Front hairline and eartabs
  • Cap Size: Average (fits most head sizes)
  • Weight: 6.15 oz — featherlight for all-day wear
  • Fiber Type: Synthetic

Color

The color shown for VIOLET is 8H, part of Henry Margu's highlighted color collection. These multi-tonal shades are blended to create natural-looking depth and dimension that mimics the movement of real hair. Because color can appear slightly different depending on monitor settings, MyHairMail's Color Guide is a helpful resource for narrowing down your ideal shade before ordering.

Styling & Care

The VIOLET by Henry Margu is a ready-to-wear style requiring minimal restyling out of the box. Because it is made from synthetic fibers, direct heat tools such as flat irons or curling wands are generally not compatible unless the fiber is explicitly labeled heat-friendly. Visit the MyHairMail Wig Fiber Guide for detailed guidance on synthetic fiber care and styling limitations.

For washing and upkeep:

  • Hand wash in cool water using a wig-specific shampoo
  • Gently work product through fibers — do not rub or wring
  • Rinse thoroughly, pat dry with a towel
  • Air dry on a wig stand to preserve the 24" length and shape
  • Avoid heat drying

With consistent, gentle care, a synthetic wig like VIOLET typically lasts four to six months with daily wear — longer with less frequent use.
