SYNTHETIC FIBER

SYNTHETIC FIBER - THINGS TO CONSIDER

  • CONFIDENCE

    You can wear both synthetic and human hair wigs and toppers confidently.
  • BUDGET

    Synthetic fiber is less expensive than human hair.
  • COLOR and STYLE

    Synthetic fiber comes pre-colored and styled. Other than minor cutting, you commit to the wig as is. There are more color and style options with synthetic than human hair as it is not as easy to modify and less expensive to manufacturer synthetic.
  • CARE

    With synthetic wigs you air dry the piece and it holds it original shape. It is easier to care for than human hair. Premium human hair is easy to care for also.
  • HEAT SAFE SYNTHETIC FIBRE

    This fiber sounds perfect, it is the softest of all synthetic fibre and generally less expensive. However, it DOES come with challenges!!! It doesn't last as long as regular synthetic fiber, it doesn't curl or straighten the same as human hair so it can be very difficult to get it looking just right.

  • WHY DO WIGS VARY IN PRICE?

    Like any product we buy there are different qualities, wigs are no different. They can vary in price. This is due to the innovation of the cap, the fiber used, the color work done and the sewing techniques of the strands onto the cap.
