When choosing a wig, there’s more to consider than simply style. In addition to lifestyle, purpose, and price, choosing between human and synthetic hair can be a challenge. Gone are the days when synthetic hair wigs felt like a cheap substitute for human hair, today the appearances are virtually indistinguishable.
This blog will tell you about the difference between these two wigs, so that you can learn to identify the wigs you buy.
- Synthetic Wigs: Much cheaper than human hair wig. It is more affordable to have multiple wigs or to replace your style when you get tired of your current look.
- Human Hair Wigs: Because they are made from real human hair and crocheted with a different base, they are typically more expensive. Please keep in mind, DO NOT covet cheap real hair wigs to buy from unknown websites, it may not save money, but it will make you deceived.
SHINE:
- Synthetic Wigs: Some budget synthetic wigs (typically those under $100) may have an unnatural faux shine.
- Human Hair Wigs: You get what you pay for, the shine and texture of the human hair wigs are 100% natural, looking just like your own beautiful hair.
WEIGHT:
- Synthetic Wigs: Made of lighter raw materials, the overall weight is relatively small under the same conditions.
- Human Hair Wigs: They feel heavier than synthetic wigs of a similar length and style, yet the head feels unburdened and instead appears fuller.
- Synthetic Wigs: Synthetic wigs cannot be straightened or curled with heated styling tools unless it is a specifically designed "heat friendly" synthetic wig.
- Human Hair Wigs: Extremely versatile. Many human hair wigs can be colored, permed, and styled just like your own hair. At the same time, they are more labor intensive and require more effort and skill to style, so if you're inexperienced, take your hair to a professional stylist for re-styling.
- Synthetic Wigs: With low maintenance. They are easy to take care of and never have to be styled. Simply wash and then the wig will return to its initial style.This is important to consider if you are experiencing health issues and not feeling well.

LONGEVITY:
