Meet BAILEY by Henry Margu

The BAILEY by Henry Margu (Style #2439) is a short-length, capless synthetic wig that delivers effortless, ready-to-wear style backed by Henry Margu's 70+ years of wig-making expertise. Weighing just 2.25 oz, it's one of the most featherlight options in the collection — designed for all-day comfort without sacrificing a polished, natural look.

Cap Construction & Fit

BAILEY features a 100% capless cap construction in an average cap size that fits most head circumferences comfortably. The open-weft capless design promotes airflow through the cap, reducing heat buildup during extended wear — a meaningful advantage for daily wearers and those with a sensitive scalp.

Precise Style Measurements

Every section of BAILEY is cut to frame and flatter. Here are the exact measurements:

  • Bang: 4¼" — frames the face beautifully
  • Top: 3¾" — natural crown height and volume
  • Sides: 3–3½" — flattering face-framing layers
  • Back: 3–3½" — elegant short length
  • Ear Tab: 3½" — natural coverage around the ears
  • Nape: 3" — comfortable neck coverage

The short, layered silhouette tends to complement oval, square, and heart-shaped face shapes particularly well. Not sure what works for your face? MyHairMail's Face Shape Analyzer can help before you decide.

Color Options

BAILEY is shown in color 7H and is available across Henry Margu's signature Highlighted color collection, featuring expertly blended, multi-tonal tones that create natural-looking depth and dimension. The style is also offered in GR (Growing Roots) colors for the most realistic root appearance. For personalized color matching, consult MyHairMail's Color Guide or speak with a specialist.

Heat Styling & Care

Because BAILEY is made from synthetic fibers, it arrives ready to wear straight out of the box — no hot tools required. Standard synthetic fibers are not heat-friendly, so avoid curling irons, flat irons, and blow dryers unless the product is specifically labeled as heat-resistant. Check MyHairMail's Wig Fiber Guide for more detail on caring for synthetic styles.

To wash, hand wash in cool water with a wig-specific shampoo, gently swish (never scrub or wring), rinse thoroughly, and air dry on a wig stand to preserve the short, layered shape. Washing every 8–10 wears is sufficient for most wearers. Avoid cotton towels — a microfiber towel is gentler on synthetic fibers.

Who Is BAILEY Right For?

BAILEY by Henry Margu is an excellent fit for:

  • Active, everyday wearers who want a low-maintenance short style
  • First-time wig wearers looking for quality and a forgiving fit
  • Those sensitive to heat or weight who need a breathable, ultra-lightweight option
  • Anyone experiencing hair loss seeking a comfortable, discreet daily solution
  • Wearers who need a style that works in both professional and casual settings

With proper care, BAILEY typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear, or significantly longer with less frequent use. For sizing guidance specific to Henry Margu, visit MyHairMail's Wig Size Chart by Brand.
