Meet the AVA by Henry Margu

The AVA by Henry Margu is a long-length wig built on more than 70 years of the brand's expertise in crafting natural-looking, comfortable styles. Style #4742 pairs a monofilament top with a 1.5" lace front and eartabs — a cap construction designed to deliver a breathable, secure fit and a virtually undetectable hairline. At just 5.65 oz., it is featherlight enough for extended, all-day wear.

Cap Construction & Fit

The AVA's cap is engineered for both comfort and a natural appearance:

  • Cap construction: Monofilament top with 1.5" lace front and eartabs
  • Cap size: Average (fits most head sizes)
  • Weight: 5.65 oz. — ultra-lightweight for all-day wear
  • Fiber: Premium synthetic

The monofilament top mimics the look of a natural scalp, while the lace front creates a realistic hairline perimeter. Eartabs add a secure, natural coverage around the ears. Use the Henry Margu Size Chart to confirm your measurements before ordering.

Not sure how AVA will look on your face shape? Use our Face Shape Analyzer before you decide. For questions about whether this fiber type suits your heat-styling needs, visit our Wig Fiber Guide — premium synthetic fibers are generally not heat-tolerant unless specifically labeled as heat-friendly.

Care & Longevity

Caring for the AVA is straightforward:

  • Washing: Hand wash with a wig-specific shampoo in cool water; avoid rubbing or wringing
  • Drying: Air dry on a wig stand to preserve shape and volume
  • Frequency: Washing every 10–15 wears is a reasonable guideline
  • Storage: Keep on a wig stand and away from excess heat

With proper care, the AVA by Henry Margu typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear and considerably longer with occasional use.
