What You Need To Know About Hair Wigs

Hair wigs have different roles. For example, there are those that use them to cover thinning hair in women. There are others that use them to have different hairstyles. There are other people who wear the wigs as costumes.

Types Of Hair Wigs

There are many types of hair wigs that you can go for:
Synthetic: they are made from synthetic fibres such as acrylic and nylon. The wigs are usually machine-made and very durable. They are made in different styles such as curly, straight and wavy. The cool thing with them is that you can easily dye them to match your hair colour. They are easy to clean and they dry very fast.


Hair experts recommend that you should avoid exposing the wigs to high temperatures in order to prevent them from melting. It's also recommended that you avoid wearing them for more than six months.

Natural wigs: they are made from different types of hairs such as horse, human or buffalo hair. There are others made from wool. High quality natural wigs are expensive, but they look very real.
Remy: these are human hair wigs whose cuticle is still attached at the ends. They are usually unprocessed. Remy wigs are usually sorted thus they all face the same direction. They feel very soft when you touch them and last for a very long time when you take good care of them.

Wig Construction

Wigs are constructed in different ways which determine their prices. The different wig construction methods include:

Stock: here the synthetic fibres are sewn onto wefts and then sewn onto the cap. They are the most affordable and you can easily find them in your local retail store.

Semi-custom: both synthetic and natural hairs are constructed using this method. They are characterised by a solid cap on top with a fine mesh net on the sides. They are pretty expensive and it's usually rare to find them in your local retail store-they are found in specialty shops.

Custom made: they are made according to your exact measurements. Just like semi-custom wigs, they are found in specialty shops. The cool thing with them is that you can alter them according to your taste.
