What is the difference between synthetic and human hair wigs?

Asked a year ago
The main difference between synthetic and human hair wigs is the source of the hair strands. Synthetic wigs are made from man-made fibers, such as acrylic or polyester, which closely mimic natural hair textures and colors. These wigs come pre-styled and require minimum maintenance, as they are designed to hold their shape even after washing. On the other hand, human hair wigs are crafted from natural, real hair that can be styled and treated just like your own. They offer a more natural look and feel, as they can be easily heat-styled, colored, and even permed. However, human hair wigs typically require more care and maintenance compared to synthetic wigs. Cost-wise, synthetic wigs tend to be more affordable, while human hair wigs are pricier due to their authenticity and versatility. Ultimately, choosing between these wig types depends on personal preferences, budget, and desired styling options.
