Nine out of ten people who come to us to buy a wig ask the same question: human hair or synthetic? The answer depends less on budget than on how you plan to wear it.
Human hair wig
- Can be heat styled, cut and toned
- Moves and shines like your own hair
- Lasts for years with the right care
- Needs styling after every wash
- Higher purchase price
Synthetic wig
- Keeps its style entirely on its own
- Ready to wear straight away – no styling
- Lower price, lighter weight
- Not heat-resistant
- Shorter lifespan, often a few months with daily wear
How the choice usually turns out
If you wear a wig every day and want to vary your style, human hair is probably both cheaper and nicer in the long run. If you need something that simply works, fast, in the morning – or you want to try a new colour without a big investment – a synthetic wig does the job brilliantly.
Many of our customers end up with both: a human hair wig as "their own hair", and a synthetic one for travel and busy days.
