Hair Wig
One of the decisions with which you'll be faced when trying to decide on a wig is whether to choose a human, or synthetic, hair wig. While for many people the decision comes down to a choice between the more natural-appearing (the human hair wig) and the more affordable ( the synthetic hair wig), there are a few other differences which might simplify your choice. Let's look at the advantages of each.
Synthetic Hair Wig Advantages:
The most obvious advantage of a synthetic hair wig is, of course, that it will cost far less than a human hair wig of comparable style. But its other great advantage is that your synthetic hair wig will maintain its style no matter how often it's washed. A human hair wig, on the other hand, will have to be re-styled just like your natural hair.
Advantages of Human Hair Wigs
You may be wondering whether synthetic hair wigs are always less expensive than those of human hair. While it's true that there are some reasonably priced human hair wigs, you should realize that they are made from hair which has been heavily processed and stripped of its protective cuticles. Why is this necessary?
Because most of the human hair used to produce wigs is taken from women in Asia, meaning that it is almost always black and completely straight. Using it in its natural state would severely limit the demand for the wigs it creates, so it must be processed into hair of different colors and degrees of curliness. It will undergo the same chemical treatments you do when you color or perm your hair, except that in may instances it will also have to be bleached before it's re-dyed.
So, while a "European hair wig" with the natural color and curl you want may cost more, it's not really a disadvantage. You'll be getting a wig with healthy, cuticle-intact hair which has that wonderful shiny, sleek look. What other advantages can you expect from your human hair wig?
If you take proper care of it, your human hair wig will last as long as your natural hair--for a lifetime. You can use your regular styling tools, including your hair dryer and curling iron or brush, on a human hair wig, while a synthetic hair wig won't hold up under heat (this includes heat sources like warm ovens!)
If you want a new look, you can dye your human hair wig. If you want a new synthetic hair wig look, you'll have to buy a new synthetic hair wig. You can also change the look of your human hair wig simply by trying a new style. If it's long enough, you can put it up for formal occasions. It simply gives you more options, as you would have with your own hair.
A human hair wig breathes much more than one of synthetic hair, so you'll feel much more comfortable when wearing it. Finally (and perhaps most importantly) it feels like human hair!
