Hair loss is something that most people need to experience, and many people will fall into the trap of wasting money and time because they have no experience when choosing a wig.
Some people will decide to buy synthetic wigs because of their low price, but some people choose human hair wigs because human hair wigs look real and less embarrassing.
Some people may think synthetic wigs are available for about $40 or $50, but the cheapest human hair wig can reach $100.
Why the prices of the two types of wigs are so different?
In this blog, we'll break down the factors that contribute to the difference in wig pricing, tell you why are human hair wigs more expensive than synthetic hair wigs, and tell you why a human hair wig is worth the investment for someone looking for a real look.
Unlike synthetic hair, human hair can't be made indefinitely, it needs to wait for a young donor to donate hair, and two or three strands of hair can be woven into a human hair wig.
In terms of time cost, the cost of human hair wig is much larger than that of synthetic hair. Quality determines the price, high-quality human hair wigs can generally be used for more than 1 year, if you protect them properly, you can use them longer; a high-quality wig will be soft and shiny, and you can treat it like your own wig.
The hair quality of the wig is mainly divided into three types: the first is virgin hair, which is 100% real human hair, the cuticle of the hair is in one direction when the hair is collected and the cuticle is complete, which will make the wig just like your hair, others can not see that you are wearing a wig! And virgin hair is not chemically treated, so when you wear a wig, it will show its original shine.
The second is the mixture of virgin hair and synthetic hair, which is mainly used for people with high requirements for a wig but low budget, mixed with real hair inside will not look as fake as the synthetic hair, but the quality can not reach the quality of real human hair.
The third type is the synthetic wig, which is generally used for fashion styling and is only worn once or twice. This wig will look very rough and dry in the sun, but people will use this wig because of the need for high-intensity ironing and curling.

Creating a wig involves several steps.
First, some specialized workers will collect high-quality hair and screen out hair with severe split ends and fragile hair. Then the hair needs to be sorted, bleached, and disinfected, because the hair comes from young donors, sanitizing it can effectively reduce odor, lice, dander, and other contaminants, which makes it more comfortable for clients to wear.
After carefully preparing the wig, it is necessary to install the wig on the wig cap, and the structure of the wig cap will also affect the price of the entire wig.
One of the wig constructions is the full lace wig, the wig cap is all covered with lace, it needs workers to carefully and patiently sew the hair on the lace, and you can do any hairstyle, which will make it more expensive than the general wigs.
The other is a lace front wig, a part of the front is crocheted with lace, and the back part is a hair cap, which requires artificial crocheting and is not as complicated as a full lace wig, so the price is not as high as a full lace wig.

Synthetic wigs generally use nylon hair caps, the hairline of nylon hair caps will be obvious, it may not fuse with your hairline, and nylon hair caps are not breathable, it is easy to sweat and scalp itching when you wear them for some time, and if you buy a lower quality hair cap, it may even shave your skin.
In contrast, a lace hair cap will fit your hairline better and be more breathable, giving you a perfect wearing effect.

For many people, a wig is purchased to be able to accommodate a wide range styling options, and synthetic wigs and human hair wigs reflect differently when it comes to creating styles.
Synthetic hair is not heat resistant, which means you can't use a hot comb or curling iron to change the hairstyle of your synthetic wig, you can only pick the hairstyle you want and don't need to change it all at once when you buy it.
In contrast, a human hair wig is just like your hair, you can change the style with a hot comb or curling iron, and you can color your wig, but be careful not to use too high temperature on your hair as this can damage it!
Human hair wigs give people more freedom to change their hairstyles to more closely match the style they want, so these human hair wigs are more suitable for people who need to attend different occasions and have high demands on their hairstyles.
If you need to change your hairstyle often, I recommend this glueless straight wig, you can use the curling iron for a variety of hairstyles.

Human hair wigs will last longer than synthetic wigs. Human hair wigs typically last 1 year; synthetic wigs typically last 4-6 months. With proper care, human hair wigs can last up to 2-3 years.
If you haven't worn your hair yet, I recommend keeping it in a dry box, as this will not only maintain the original texture of the wig but also prevent dust from covering the wig.
If your wig has already been worn, there will inevitably be sweat and dust on your wig. At this time you need to carefully wash the wig to extend its life, you can gently massage the lace while cleaning, and then gently smooth the hair through your fingers to reduce tangles. Wash well and blow dry in a well-ventilated place.
If you wear a human hair wig, even if the hair is straight or need to do a big wave style, it can maintain the original quality of the hair, because real human hair can withstand not only regular wear but also normal temperature perms and curls.
As you know, the wig price of human hair is much more expensive than synthetic hair, but the price of real hair is dependent on its production process, longevity, variety of hairstyles, and quality, so the wig price is reasonable.
Wearing a human hair wig does not require frequent replacement like synthetic hair, you can create a variety of styles with just one wig, and in the long run, real human hair will save you more money.

Because a human hair wig is made from virgin hair, the feel and color of the wig are highly similar to your real hair, which is something that synthetic wigs cannot do.
Human hair wig offer a natural look that can’t tell the difference even in the sun, compared to synthetic hair that fades or discolors when exposed to the sun, which will give a very frizzy look.
In addition, real human hair is made of HD lace and breathable mesh caps, HD lace will perfectly fit your skin tone, give you a natural hairline and the mesh caps are realistic and will not be exposed even if there is wind blowing; most of the lace in synthetic hair wig is less expensive lace and you need to process it to weaken the junction between the lace and your skin.
Many people choose to buy real hair wigs because they are looking for a high-quality hairstyle or due to their own reasons for hair loss, no matter what reason you have to buy a wig, I recommend you to buy a high-quality human hair wig because it is like a beautiful accessory that can increase your self-confidence.
