The Difference Between Real and Synthetic Wigs

Here we go through the differences between a wig made of human hair and synthetic hair!

Real wigs are made from real hair, which gives a natural look and feel. They can be styled with heat tools and colored, making them highly customizable. However, they require more maintenance and are often more expensive. Heat-resistant Synthetic wigs are made from man-made fibers, are affordable, and hold their shape after washing. They require minimal maintenance, can withstand low heat, and cannot be colored, which gives you fewer options. The choice depends on your needs, budget, and how much time you want to spend on care.

Wig real hair

We offer real hair wigs in two qualities: Luxury and Basic.Luxury wigs are made of 100% Remy hair, which is the most exclusive hair extension on the market. The hair is strong, shiny and lies in the same direction, which reduces tangles and gives a natural feel. These wigs can be bleached, colored, straightened and curled without any problems. With proper care, they can last 1-3 years, making them a long-term investment. Although they cost more, they are economical
in the long run, as they do not need to be replaced as often.

Basic wigs are made of non-Remy hair and are an affordable alternative. The hair is a second-hand selection from the production of our more luxurious wigs. With proper care, Basic wigs can last up to a few months, but they have a shorter lifespan and are less adaptable than Luxury wigs.

Pros and cons:Luxury: Highest quality, long lasting (1-3 years), fully styleable, but requires more care and is more expensive.

Basic:Affordable and good for temporary use, but has a shorter lifespan (a few months), limited styling options and wears out faster. Depending on your needs and budget, we offer wigs to suit everyone!

Wig Heat Resistant Synthetic

Our heat-resistant synthetic wigs are designed to resemble real hair, but may be slightly shinier. They are made from various types of synthetic fibers, with Kanekalon being one of the most popular. Synthetic wigs are available in many colors and shades, but unfortunately cannot be dyed as the artificial strands do not absorb color.

Advantages:Synthetic wigs are affordable, easy to maintain, and retain their shape well, even after washing. Most are heat-resistant, allowing you to style them for a more natural look.

Disadvantages:They have a shorter lifespan of 2–4 months depending on care and can be slightly shinier than real hair. Styling options are limited compared to real hair, and they cannot be dyed.

Synthetic wigs are an excellent option for those seeking a practical and affordable choice!

Wigs with monofilament or hand-tied caps are often softer and more comfortable for sensitive scalps, as they minimize irritation and provide better breathability.
