What type of wig should I choose: synthetic, human hair, or a blend?
Deciding which type of product to choose can be a daunting experience.
Although obvious price differentials may lead some consumers to assume that human hair wigs are most expensive, and therefore the best products, this does not always ring true. Synthetic wigs, which now look as natural and stylish as human hair wigs, are also easier to care for, require minimal care, will not accept major change to style and are, of course, less costly than human hair products.
Synthetic:
- Easy care
- Shampoo and condition for minimal care / will retain style
