Buoyant by Gabor
Buoyant by Gabor: The Luxury Chin-Length Curly Bob Wig That Delivers All-Day Bounce
The Buoyant wig by Gabor is a premium chin-length curly bob designed for women who want sophisticated volume without the weight or maintenance of traditional wigs. Weighing just 88 grams, this airy style features soft, touchable curls that hold their shape from morning to night.
Why the Buoyant Wig Stands Out
Effortless Volume That Lasts
The Buoyant wig eliminates the frustration of flat, lifeless curls. Unlike heavier styles that lose their bounce by midday, Buoyant's lightweight Flexlite fiber and strategic layering maintain volume and movement throughout your entire day. The curls are designed to be touchable and natural-looking—never stiff or overly styled.
Ultra-Lightweight Comfort at Just 88 Grams
At under 90 grams, Buoyant ranks among the lightest curly wigs available. This featherweight construction reduces scalp fatigue and makes extended wear comfortable, whether you're working a full day at the office, attending events, or simply running errands.
Premium Lace Front Construction
The sheer lace front creates an undetectable, natural-looking hairline that blends seamlessly with your skin. You can confidently wear your hair swept back or styled away from your face without worrying about an obvious wig line.

Flexlite Synthetic Fiber
Gabor's Flexlite fiber offers several advantages over traditional synthetic materials. The soft, natural texture mimics human hair while the lightweight construction reduces heat and fatigue. Shape retention keeps curls defined throughout the day, and heat-friendly options allow for light styling customization. Easy care with minimal maintenance requirements makes this fiber ideal for busy lifestyles.
Who Should Choose the Buoyant Wig?
The Buoyant wig is ideal for women experiencing hair loss who want a natural-looking solution that doesn't feel heavy or uncomfortable during extended wear. Those new to wigs will appreciate the low-maintenance style that looks polished without daily styling effort.
Professionals who need a sophisticated, office-appropriate look will find that Buoyant stays fresh throughout the workday. Anyone with sensitive scalps will appreciate the velvet lining and lightweight construction that minimizes irritation. Curly hair enthusiasts who love the look of bouncy curls but don't have the time or ability to style their bio hair daily will find Buoyant delivers that effortless curly look instantly.
Styling the Buoyant Wig
Daily Wear Tips
The Buoyant arrives pre-styled and ready to wear. Simply shake gently to restore curl definition, place on your head, and adjust the nape tabs for a secure fit. The curls are designed to look effortlessly tousled—no styling tools required for everyday wear.
Refreshing Your Curls
If curls begin to lose definition over time, you can gently scrunch sections with your fingers to restore bounce. For more defined curls, use a wig-safe curl refresher spray and air dry.
Heat Styling Considerations
While Flexlite fiber offers some heat tolerance, excessive heat can damage synthetic wigs. If you choose to use heat styling tools, use the lowest effective temperature setting and limit heat exposure to maintain the fiber's integrity and longevity.
Color Options
The Buoyant wig is available in Gabor's signature color palette, including multi-dimensional rooted shades that create natural depth and dimension.
The featured color, GL14-22SS Sandy Blonde, is a warm, sun-kissed blonde with subtle highlighting that creates natural movement and dimension within the curls.

Care and Maintenance
Washing Your Buoyant Wig
Wash your wig every 6-8 wears or when product buildup becomes noticeable. Use cool water and synthetic-safe wig shampoo. Gently swirl the wig in the water—never rub or twist the fibers. Rinse thoroughly and apply a light conditioner if desired, avoiding the cap area.
Drying and Storage
Blot excess water with a towel and place the wig on a wig stand to air dry. Never use a blow dryer on high heat. Once dry, store your Buoyant wig on a wig stand or head form to maintain its shape between wears.
Extending Your Wig's Lifespan
With proper care, quality synthetic wigs can last 4-6 months with daily wear, or longer with occasional wear. Protect your investment by avoiding excessive heat, using appropriate wig care products, and storing properly when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Buoyant wig comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. At just 88 grams with velvet-lined ear tabs and nape, the Buoyant is specifically designed for extended comfort. The stretch cap construction adapts to your head shape without pressure points.
Can I wear the Buoyant wig if I have a sensitive scalp?
The velvet lining and ultra-lightweight construction make Buoyant an excellent choice for sensitive scalps. The breathable materials and minimal weight reduce irritation compared to heavier, traditionally constructed wigs.
Does the lace front require special care?
The lace front area is more delicate than the rest of the cap. Handle this area gently when putting on and removing your wig. When washing, be especially careful not to tug or stretch the lace.
Will the curls lose their shape over time?
Flexlite fiber has excellent shape retention. With normal wear and proper care, the curls will maintain their definition. If curls begin to relax, gentle scrunching and a curl refresher spray can restore bounce.
Is the Buoyant wig heat-friendly?
Flexlite fiber offers some heat tolerance for light styling customization. However, excessive heat can damage synthetic fibers. If using heat tools, always use the lowest effective setting and limit exposure.
What face shapes does the Buoyant wig complement?
The chin-length curly bob is universally flattering and works well with oval, heart, and round face shapes. The volume at the sides adds width for longer or narrower faces, while the chin-length cut provides structure for rounder faces.
How do I know if Average cap size will fit me?
Most women wear an Average cap size. The Buoyant's stretch construction and adjustable nape tabs accommodate a range of head sizes within the Average category. If you've worn other Average-sized wigs comfortably, the Buoyant should fit well.
