From Roots to Tips" Unveiling the Pros and Cons of Human Hair Wigs

 Human hair wigs have both advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the different types of human hair used often depends on individual preferences, budget, and styling needs. Below are the pros and cons of human hair wigs.

PROS

1.     Natural Appearance: Human hair wigs look and feel natural because they are made from real human hair that has been donated ethically. The texture, movement, and shine closely resemble natural hair.

2.     Styling Versatility: Human hair wigs can be styled just like natural hair. They can be curled, straightened, and in some cases (depending on the type of hair) can be coloured to achieve the desired look. This flexibility allows for more versatility in styling.

3.     Durability: With proper care and maintenance human hair tends to be more durable and have a longer lifespan than synthetic and high-heat fibre mixed with human hair wigs. If cared for correctly, human hair wigs can last a year or more.  

4.     Comfort: Human hair wigs have better cap constructions and are generally more comfortable to wear. They are more breathable which allows better airflow to the scalp.

5.     Realistic feel: Human hair wigs feel softer and more realistic to the touch, move and flow naturally, responding to movement in a way that synthetic wigs may not.

CON’S

1.     Cost: Human hair wigs are more expensive than synthetic and high-heat fibre mixed with human hair wigs. The cost can vary depending on the type and quality of hair used, the colour of the hair (blonde hair tends to be more expensive), and the construction of the cap.

Prices start from 1095.00 euros

2.     Maintenance: Human hair wigs require more maintenance than synthetic wigs. They need to be washed, conditioned, and styled regularly which may take more time. To style properly you will need mannequin head and stand, and styling products. Without proper care, the hair can become dry, frizzy, and or damaged.

3.     Colour Fade:  Human hair wigs will experience colour fade over time, especially when exposed to sunlight or harsh environmental conditions, and water conditions in your area. Just like bio hair, it is always recommended to use colour-protecting products and store the wig properly.

4.     Limited Colour Options: Unlike synthetic wigs that come in a wide array of colours, human hair wigs have limited colour options. Depending on how the manufacturers process colouring the hair most human hair wigs can be coloured with a semi-colour only. (Always check the manufacturers first before colouring). Over-colouring of the hair can and will dry out and damage the hair quality. Virgin human hair, which has not been coloured and is in its raw state is the best hair to achieve the desired hair colour.

5.     Sensitivity to Weather: Human hair wigs will react to weather conditions like natural hair. They can be affected by humidity, rain, and heat, and can frizz or become limp. Just like natural hair special care is needed to maintain the desired style.
