Why are NATURAL hair WIGS used so much?

Wearing a different look does not require, in all cases, having to cut, dye or comb. Wigs are used both for those who have weak hair or have suffered a great loss of hair due to health problems or medical treatments, as well as for those who wish to wear hair different from their own without having to do anything. And, surely, you have already heard of natural hair wigs.

But why wear these natural human hair bundles and not artificial ones? Do they damage the hair? How are they cared for? All these questions have their answers, which must be known before recommending the purchase to a client.

What are natural hair wigs?

Natural wigs are made from real human hair, usually from up to three different people.

Each strand grew on the scalp of someone (who donated their hair to a hairdresser) and will go through a sterilization and elaboration process so that they are all ordered from roots to ends and have a uniform color and texture. Best headband wigs are so perfectly crafted that they are difficult to distinguish from “living hair.”

Natural wig or artificial wig?

Choosing between the type of wig to buy should be a well thought out decision. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. But, in the end, the last word always belongs to whoever is going to take it.

Synthetic Hair Wigs

Natural ones are more expensive because the quality is noticeably higher. The result is similar to that of the hair itself: it behaves in the same way, it becomes frizzy if there is moisture or it dries when it lacks hydration; so it will have to be taken care of as much as the hair itself.

Wearing a natural wig is less uncomfortable because they are lighter and the movement, the fall and the touch are identical to any natural hair.

Human hair wigs can be dyed, cut, curled, ironed… just like the hair itself! They are fully customizable and allow whoever wears it to change their hairstyle whenever they want.

On the other hand, they allow the skin to breathe better thanks to the flexible tulle base that simulates the scalp and adapts to the head to hold the wig. This monofilament base leaves the client’s scalp and hairline visible, achieving absolute naturalness.

The part can be combed in any direction. In artificial ones, the threads are much more fixed and there is less freedom of movement.

Both natural and artificial ones adapt well to each morphology. The best option will be to opt for those that have a non-slip system instead of adhesives or glues, which are much more uncomfortable.
