Real Hair and fiber wigs
Wigs can be made with real (or natural) hair or with synthetic hair (fibre), today there are also wigs made with a mix of real and synthetic hair. I guess you're wondering what the best wig is? There is no better or worse wig but only a wig that best suits our needs. Let's try to clarify things a little:
What is the difference between a real hair wig and a synthetic hair wig?
Real hair wigs have many advantages:
- they give us the possibility of changing styling with a brush, hairdryer or straightener exactly like our hair
- they give us the opportunity to create the cut we want
- they give us the possibility to change color whenever we want with tone-on-tone or darker shades
- they give us the possibility to choose the type of hair we want to have: thicker or thinner based on the style we want to create
- when you caress your real hair it is 100% natural
Real hair wigs also have some disadvantages compared to synthetic ones:
- -when we wash the wig (approximately every 15 days) if we do not wish to contact a professional we must style it. This is not a complicated operation but requires a little manual skill with a brush and hairdryer and a little time to install the products used for maintenance
- -human hair wigs are not cheap and cost much more than wigs made from synthetic hair
- -there are various types of real hair with very different qualities, to an inexperienced eye it is not easy to recognize the quality of the hair and we could come across some careless purchase where, in exchange for a significant expense, we obtain a poor product for this reason it is always It is advisable to contact a specialized center to purchase
- being made with real hair treated over time, the hair is subject to lightening and must be periodically maintained with professional products
Let's now see what the advantages of a wig made with synthetic hair are:
- the synthetic hair wig is very practical, the cut is already made and once worn it is ready for use
- the effect is completely natural, it is absolutely identical to our real hair
- -nuances and mixes of colors are achieved that are often impossible to achieve with real hair, especially in the case of very light blonde or white hair, synthetic hair reaches where the discoloration of real hair cannot reach
- -maintenance is very easy and quick, you don't need to style it because when it dries it returns to its original shape on its own
- it is much cheaper than a real hair wig
What are the disadvantages of a wig made from synthetic hair:
- The fold cannot be changed, the cut and color cannot be changed
- To the touch you can notice a small difference compared to real hair
- when we choose a length of hair beyond the shoulders, the tips in contact with clothes and coats are subject to significant wear and tear and get damaged very quickly compared to a real hair model
- there are various types of synthetic fibre, it is always advisable to contact a specialized center to purchase
It is therefore important to analyze the type of use we wish to make of the wig in order to correctly choose whether to approach a real hair or synthetic fiber solution.
If it is the first time we are approaching this sector, the advice is to visit several centers to get an idea and contact the one who has shown us the most competence and trust to purchase.
We also remember that the purchase is only the first step, even more important is choosing a specialized shop that provides after-sales assistance, i.e.:
- explain to us how to wear it, also carrying out various tests
- guide us in the maintenance of the product, explaining based on the model purchased how to carry out the correct maintenance (washing, styling, treatments)
- is equipped with a technical tailoring department to measure the wig cap and adapt it to our head because when you wear it, you will have to forget you are wearing it!
- If the purchase is for medical use, provide us with all the instructions and documentation for the deduction and request of any foreseen regional contributions
