How to pick the best Synthetic Wig -vs- Human Hair Wig

Hey GlamDollz,


Are you tired of damaging your hair with constant coloring, heat styling, and other chemical treatments just to get the perfect look? Wigs are great alternatives to achieve the same desired results without damaging your natural hair. However, with so many options out there, choosing the right wig can be overwhelming.


Here are some tips to help you pick the best Synthetic or Human Hair wig for you!



Firstly, think about the style you want to achieve. Do you want a short bob, long curly hair, or maybe a straight mid-length cut? Synthetic and Human Hair wigs come in a variety of styles, lengths, and colors. To pick the best one for you, consider the shape of your face, your skin tone, and your lifestyle.


Lifestyle and Wig Maintenance of Human Hair Wigs


Consider the quality of the wig. High-quality human hair wigs will look more natural and last longer but require more routine care, much like your natural hair. Human hair wigs are an extremely great investment and can last a very long time with proper care.


Speaking of care, if your option is Human Hair. Here is 5 tips on how to care for your human hair wig and keep it looking fabulous. FIRST, Look for wigs made of heat-resistant fibers that can be styled with low heat, the wig will be more durable and less prone to tangling.


  1. Use Quality Hair Products: Invest in gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed specifically for human hair wigs. Avoid products with harsh chemicals that can strip the hair of its natural oils and cause damage.

  2. Store Properly: When not in use, store your human hair wig on a wig stand or mannequin head to help maintain its shape and prevent tangling. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to avoid color fading and dryness.

  3. Wash with Care: Wash your human hair wig only when necessary, following the manufacturer's instructions. Use lukewarm water and gently comb through the hair with a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles before washing. Avoid rubbing or twisting the hair to prevent damage.

  4. Heat Styling: If you choose to heat style your human hair wig, use a heat protectant spray and set your styling tools to a low or medium temperature. Avoid excessive heat exposure, as it can cause the hair to become brittle and prone to breakage.

  5. Schedule Regular Maintenance: Just like natural hair, human hair wigs benefit from regular trims to keep the ends healthy and prevent split ends. Consider taking your wig to a professional stylist for maintenance and styling to ensure it stays looking fabulous for as long as possible, is its something you cannot do yourself.


Synthetic vs. Human Hair Wigs: Making the Choice That Fits Your Lifestyle


As a hair blogger, I have had my fair share of experiences with both synthetic wigs and human hair wigs. While human hair wigs definitely have their own unique advantages, I cannot deny the convenience and versatility that synthetic wigs have brought into my life.


One particular instance where a synthetic wig truly saved the day for me was when I had a last-minute speaking engagement to attend. I had spent weeks preparing for the event and had everything planned out, except for my hair, of course. I was in a rush and didn't have time to style my natural hair, so I reached for my trusty synthetic wig instead.


The synthetic wig instantly transformed my look and gave me the confidence I needed to stand in front of a crowd and deliver my presentation. It was lightweight, easy to style, and required minimal maintenance. Not only did it save me time, but it also helped me feel put together and polished in a pinch.


This experience reminded me of the many ways synthetic wigs can come in handy in various situations. From impromptu events to quick style changes, synthetic wigs offer a low-maintenance solution that can save you time and stress. Additionally, they are often more affordable than human hair wigs, making them accessible to a wider range of individuals.
