Cap Construction & Fit
The Aubrey is built on a wefted, basic cap in an average size — the most common fit, suitable for the majority of wearers. Adjustable tabs at the back nape let you fine-tune the fit for a secure, snug feel throughout the day. At just 2.39 oz, the cap is exceptionally lightweight, which helps reduce fatigue during extended or all-day wear.
It's worth noting that the basic wefted construction does not include a monofilament top or lace front, so the hairline and part will have a more traditional wig appearance. For those prioritizing a highly realistic part or hairline, that's an important consideration. Before ordering, consult the Wig Size Chart by Brand to confirm the average cap works for your measurements.
Fiber & Styling
The Aubrey by Rene of Paris is made from heat-friendly synthetic fiber, which means you can reach for your flat iron, curling wand, or blow dryer to customize the style. The key is keeping your tools within the recommended temperature range to protect the fibers:
- Safe heat range: 275°F – 300°F
- Exceeding 300°F can cause irreversible fiber damage
- Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers are all compatible within this range

Who Is the Aubrey Best Suited For?
The Aubrey shines as an everyday, low-maintenance option. It's an excellent fit for:
- First-time wig wearers who want a simple, comfortable introduction to synthetic wigs
- Active lifestyles — the lightweight cap and secure adjustable tabs stay put
- Women experiencing hair loss or thinning who need reliable daily coverage
- Anyone who wants a budget-friendly, durable short style they can heat-style at home
Care & Maintenance
Caring for the Aubrey is straightforward. Wash every 10 to 15 wears using a sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo. Gently submerge in cool water — avoid rubbing, wringing, or using hot water, which can disrupt the fiber's texture. Blot dry with a towel and allow to air dry on a wig stand. Stored properly and washed consistently, this wig can last four to six months with daily wear, or considerably longer when worn two to three times per week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Aubrey by Rene of Paris good for everyday wear?
Yes. The Aubrey is specifically designed for low-maintenance, everyday use. Its short choppy layers require minimal styling, the lightweight 2.39 oz cap reduces fatigue, and the adjustable nape tabs keep it comfortably secure throughout the day. Whether you're running errands or heading to work, it holds up well to active daily wear.
Can I use a flat iron or curling wand on the Aubrey wig?
Absolutely. The Aubrey by Rene of Paris is made from heat-friendly synthetic fiber, so flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers are all safe to use. Always keep your styling tools between 275°F and 300°F. Going above that range risks permanent damage to the fibers, so a heat-setting tool or temperature-controlled iron is recommended.
Is the Aubrey a good wig for hair loss?
The Aubrey can be a practical, confidence-boosting choice for women experiencing hair loss or thinning. The adjustable nape tabs provide a more customized, secure fit, and the short textured style offers natural-looking coverage. Keep in mind that the basic wefted cap lacks a monofilament top or lace front, so the hairline appearance is more traditional than ultra-realistic alternatives.
How long will the Aubrey by Rene of Paris last?
With proper care, the Aubrey typically lasts four to six months with daily wear. If you wear it two to three times per week and follow washing and storage guidelines — including air drying on a wig stand and keeping heat tools within the safe temperature range — you can significantly extend its lifespan. Rotating between two wigs also helps each one last longer.
What cap size is the Aubrey, and will it fit me?
The Aubrey comes in an average cap size, which fits the majority of wearers. The adjustable tabs at the back nape offer additional customization for a snug feel. To confirm the average cap is right for your head circumference, check the Wig Size Chart by Brand before placing your order.
