How to Get Free Wigs from Shein — Free Trial Program Guide
Imagine receiving a brand-new lace front wig — straight, wavy, or curly — without spending a single dollar. Shein makes this possible through their Free Trial Program, and thousands of users are already taking advantage of it every month.
Here’s a complete guide on how the program works, how to apply for free wigs, and how to increase your chances of being selected.
What is Shein’s Free Trial Program?
Shein’s Free Trial Program lets users test select products completely free of charge — and wigs are one of the most popular categories. The idea is simple: Shein sends you the wig at no cost, and in return you provide an honest, detailed review of your experience.
The selection process works like a lottery. Participants are chosen based on availability and profile activity. You don’t pay for the product, and you don’t pay for shipping. All you need to do is try it and share your feedback.
What wigs are available for testing?
Shein offers a rotating selection of wig styles each week. The program doesn’t let you pick any wig from the full catalog — instead, they provide a curated list of items that need feedback. Current batches frequently include:
- Glueless Straight Lace Front Wigs (16″–22″)
- Body Wave & Water Wave HD Lace Wigs
- Deep Wave Full Lace Wigs
- Sleek Bob Wigs (pre-plucked hairline)
- Colored & Ombré styles (honey blonde, burgundy, auburn)
The selection rotates regularly. Items that reach their review quota are removed and replaced with new styles the following week.
How does it work?
The Free Trial Program runs in rounds. Here’s how it typically works:
- Sign up — Access the Free Trial Center via Shein’s website or app.
- Select your wig — Browse the available styles and apply for up to three items per week.
- Apply and wait — Submission is random. There’s no guarantee you’ll be picked each round, but consistent applicants have higher approval rates.
- Receive your wig — If selected, the wig ships to your address for free. You’ll have about 10 days to wear it.
- Write your review — Share your honest feedback on fit, quality, lace, and overall look. Photos are strongly encouraged.
Who can join?
Anyone with an active Shein account can participate. There are no restrictions based on age, location, or hair type. The program is open globally, as long as you agree to the program’s terms and are willing to submit a review after receiving your item.
While participation is open to all, the number of spots per round is limited. Active users who regularly review products tend to be prioritized in the selection process.
How to increase your chances of being chosen
- Apply consistently — Apply every week, even if you weren’t selected the round before.
- Leave detailed past reviews — If you’ve been selected before, thorough feedback makes your profile stand out for future rounds.
- Stay active on the platform — Liking products, writing reviews, and browsing regularly signals engagement to Shein’s algorithm.
- Apply early — Popular styles like body wave and straight lace fronts fill their quota fast. Apply as soon as a new round opens.
How to check if you’ve been selected
- Email notification — Shein sends a confirmation email when you’re chosen. Check your spam folder too.
- Message Center in the app — Look for a confirmation under the Message Center section.
- Order history — A free trial order will appear in your order history if you’ve been picked.
What if you’re not selected?
Don’t be discouraged. Hundreds of users apply for each round, and selection is limited. Keep applying every week, stay active on the platform, and make sure your profile is complete. Every new round is a fresh opportunity.
The importance of writing reviews
Once you receive your wig, writing an honest review is the most important part of the program. Your feedback helps other shoppers make informed decisions and gives Shein valuable data to improve their products.
In your review, focus on: lace quality, pre-plucking, density, shedding, fit on your head, and overall style. Including real photos of you wearing the wig significantly increases the value of your review — and your chances of being selected again.
