Human hair wigs are popular because they are the most natural-looking and are much easier to style and care for than synthetic wigs. This is because they are made of hair from human donors. Gabi’s Wigs offers a variety of wig types, including human hair. A human hair wig usually lasts a year or more with proper care and maintenance.
The primary disadvantage of human hair wigs is the cost. Because of the limited human hair supply, these wigs are more expensive than synthetic ones. One of the significant advantages of human hair wigs is that they can be styled like natural hair, but you will need to use a heat protectant to avoid damaging it with heat styling tools.
While human hair wigs are of higher quality than synthetic, the cost of these wigs depends on the quality. The average cost can range from around $100 to $1,000+.
Human hair wigs cost more than those made from synthetic fibers for several reasons, including:
The wig cap is fundamental for providing a secure, comfortable fit. Many times, the quality of the materials used in the construction of the cap impact the cost. Human hair wig caps are usually made with nylon or mesh, which offers breathability and comfort. Synthetic wig caps, on the other hand, are made with cheaper materials and are often uncomfortable and less durable.
Some of the other factors impacting the cost of a human hair wig is the length, color, and texture. Human hair wigs can be dyed, bleached, or heat-styled to fit the client’s needs. A wig that requires more time/effort to obtain the desired look will cost more.
There are several steps involved in the production of a human hair wig. First, the hair must be collected. Then, it must be sorted, dyed/bleached, and sewn together. This requires the services of experienced professionals.
Since the hair comes from human donors, it must be disinfected before it can be sewn into a wig. This process removes dandruff, parasites, lice, other contaminants, and the smell. Once the hair has been disinfected, it will be groomed and colored/highlighted to fit the customer’s needs.
Once the hair has been prepped, it will be attached to the wig cap. This process is delicate, as each strand must be carefully stitched in place to create a uniform appearance. Since the process of constructing a human hair wig requires such precision, it is typically done by hand. The technicians take great care to choose the right density of hair, usually 150% to 200%, which can increase the cost.
Human hair wigs offer a more natural appearance and feel than synthetic wigs. In addition, the strand quality is much higher, which means it can work for a variety of hairstyles.
Since they are made from human donors, these wigs are more durable and longer-lasting than synthetic. Plus, there are many more styling options available. Human hair wigs can be straightened, curled, dyed, highlighted, and more without the concern of causing damage.
Human hair wigs allow you to customize your look. Heat-styling tools can be used on these wigs, which means you can switch up your style as often as you’d like. In addition, you can perm or color your human hair wig. This means that you can create a look that is right for you.
Finally, human hair wigs have a longer lifespan compared to synthetic wigs. If you properly maintain your wig, it can potentially last for 2 to 3 years. However, this does require that you carefully follow the care instructions provided when you purchase your wig.
Human hair wigs are much more expensive than synthetic ones. However, the higher cost is justified because of the quality, versatility, and longer lifespan.
