Synthetic vs Human hair wigs
You have decided now is the time to start wearing a wig. Or you could be just a little curious about this world of multiple colors and hairstyles. Wigs are great for many reasons, such as being used as a protective style for your natural tresses. Easy hairstyle change, you can go from short to long in a matter of minutes. Or due to hair loss or sickness a beautiful wig can give a woman her confidence back. Whatever reason for your wig journey you must know what works for you and your lifestyle. Is a synthetic or human hair wig best for you?
Synthetic Hair
What is synthetic hair? Synthetic hair is man made fibers like acrylic or nylon. The fibers are put through a chemical process to give it a similar look and feel to human hair. It can come in many colors and styles. Synthetic wigs are difficult to re-style and heating tools such as curling and flat irons can only be used on them with very low heat which is also very difficult if you want to alternate the style of the wig. Also be careful of cutting these wigs because due to it being made of acrylic or nylon it will not lay or create the same effect as human hair. And keep in mind they do tangle and matte after a few wears. Synthetic wigs are best for women who just want to get up and go! Very easy maintenance and low cost. Synthetic wigs prices range from $20 up to low $100. I would also recommend synthetic wigs for ones who are just starting their wig journey. It's the best way to find the right style for yourself before jumping into lace frontal and high cost human hair wigs.
Human Hair
What is human hair? Human hair wigs are made from hair that has been collected and cleaned from Chinese and Indian temples or donated from women. Some women work with wig and extensions businesses to grow their hair super long and cut it once it reaches a certain length, they do get paid for this service. Human hair wigs are much easier to style. You can set the heat higher when using a hot tool. Also you can have the color changed or add highlights. I would recommend this be done by a wig specialist or hairstylist. They come in multiple lengths from 8 inches up to 50 inches. Human hair wigs are more realistic because they come in different textures such as straight, bodywave, curly even high textured hair named kinky which matches African American hair. Human hair wigs are more expensive, prices ranging from $150 up to the thousands $$$. But they are a better investment because of their longevity. Human hair wigs can last up to 3 to 5 years, some even longer with proper care. They do require higher care and maintenance than synthetic wigs because they are made from real human hair. Women who want a more realistic look and don't mind putting in more effort and care into their wigs would do great with human hair wigs.
