The Sam Wig
For Those Who Wear Hats
Meet Sam
The Sam Wig was thoughtfully designed with the hat wearer in mind. Created by Kristin, the owner of Beautiful Me Hair Studio, the Sam Wig was introduced in the summer of 2022 as a way to expand options beyond a full wig. Through Kristin’s own chemo journey she realized how warm full wigs could be and, as summer was approaching she was inspired to design something more lightweight, comfortable, and easy to throw on. Whether you're heading to the gym, going for a walk, enjoying a day at the beach, or catching a baseball game, the Sam Wig is the perfect companion. It’s specifically designed to be worn under hats, making it ideal for those who prefer extra coverage or who are still building confidence during their hair loss journey.
What sets the Sam Wig apart is its natural appearance and personalized fit, ensuring a realistic look even in close-up settings. The top of the wig is lined with soft, breathable t-shirt material for added comfort and effective sweat absorption—especially important for warm weather or active use.
This thoughtful design detail ensures that the wig remains comfortable to wear for extended periods, without irritation. The Sam Wig combines function, flexibility, and realism, giving a beautiful option that feels easy and empowering in everyday life.
At first unfamiliar with the shady side of the human hair industry, Kristin dove deep into researching sustainable sourcing, ethical practices, and wig construction. Her journey reflects a growing commitment to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement. Today, she remains dedicated to perfecting the Sam Wig, offering a hand-crafted, natural-looking wig tailored for active individuals seeking both function and style.

Client Testimonial
As soon as I put Sam on I knew I had to have her. “I look like me again!” I said, with tears streaming down my face. I looked like a person not going through chemo. Kristin was so helpful and knowledgeable about handling Sam. I Highly recommend Kristin for all your wig needs!

FAQ’s
How do I care for the Sam Wig?
You will use all of the same hair products that you would use on your bio hair. You can shampoo the Sam Wig every couple weeks, then deep condition and let her air dry. Since the hair is not receiving your natural scalp oils, it is important to add Moroccan oil to the mid hair shaft and ends weekly.
Can I curl and style the hair?
Yes, you can use hot tools on the Sam Wig because it is human hair. You will always want to use a heat protectant before curling or straightening. You can use a blow dryer once hair has air dried 80%.
Will any hair shed from the Sam Wig?
Yes, slight shedding will happen with the Sam Wig with brushing and styling. It is very important to use a wide, bristle, brush or comb so that you don’t stress the hair.
Can I wear the Sam Wig when my bio hair starts growing back?
Yes, you just need to slick your bio hair down to your head.
How long does my own hair have to be to make a Sam Wig?
We need a minimum of 8 inches in length to create the Sam Wig but, approximately 2 inches of length is lost in the production process. Typically we need to supplement with one to three hair donors to achieve the correct density.
How long does it take to make the Sam Wig?
On average, it takes three to four weeks to construct the Sam Wig.
Can my friend or family member donate their hair towards my Sam Wig?
Yes, if it is the correct color, length, and texture to blend in with your hair.
