The Different Types of Wigs

3 min read

Is there a way to make mywigs last forever? Wigs are something many people don't take care of. And 15% of women cannot afford them, mainly due to the financial burden of undergoing medical treatment. So once you decide to buy, you choose the right wig, then we will talk about the different types of wigs available.

How to choose your wig or hair prosthesis?

Choosing your women's wig / men's wig or hairpiece is quite simple; you need to ask yourself a few questions:

  • For what occasion? Is it for everyday use?
  • Will I wear it often?
  • What attachment method do I want? With a lace front or a machine-made wig / cosplay wig?
  • What is my budget for a wig?
  • How many wigs do I want?
  • Whattype of hair for my wig?
  • What hair length for my wig?

Human Hair Wigs or Synthetic Hair Wigs

Human hair wigs are the most expensive because of their superior hair quality; they are easier to style and maintain and last longer due to their natural fiber.
Synthetic hair wigs are inexpensive wigs. Synthetic wigs can look very natural and absorb odors less. The advantage of their synthetic fiber is that they have shape memory, so styling is quick, but they cannot withstand high heat, only low temperatures.

Both hair types can have a tulle fabric / lace implantation on their wig / hairpiece.

Our advice for wig hair or for choosing the type of hair for your wig can be found in our blog The Different Types of Hair.

Lace Front or Machine-Made Wig?

A lace front is perfect for a natural look, as the hair is hand-implanted onto a lace base. It can be worn multiple times and offers excellent hold, but application takes longer and it can be damaged more easily. They can be custom-made, synthetic, or natural.

For a natural look with a machine-made wig, we recommend one with a fringe or a side-swept bang. It takes 5 minutes to put on and can also have implanted hair, as a machine-made wig can have implanted lace but not a lace front. They can also be custom-made and have synthetic or natural hair fibers.

All About Inexpensive Wigs:

If you have a small budget, inexpensive women's wigs aresynthetic machine-made wigs. High-end wigs are custom-made wigs or lace front wigs. But sometimes it's good to know that having several wigs to rotate can extend the lifespan of each, because an inexpensive wig worn regularly will quickly get damaged, meaning you'll need to buy another one.

Short or long hair is often a matter of aesthetics, but the longer the hair, the more expensive the wig will be, and conversely, if the hair is short, the wig will be less expensive.

But without forgetting that hair color can also be a matter of taste, the lighter the hair (blonde hair), the higher the price will be. So a simple wig like a brown wig, black wigs, or red wigs are less expensive.
