What most brands
won't tell you.
AN INSIDE LOOK INTO THE HAIR INDUSTRY
When you’re starting out with purchasing hair, it can be SO overwhelming.
There is so much information (and MISinformation!) out there about what
hair is best and which you should buy. The hair industry can be confusing,
so let’s take it step by step and help you figure out what YOU should be
looking for in your piece.
Synthetic Hair
Synthetic hair toppers and wigs are, as the
name suggests, made from synthetic
materials, like plastics. People usually opt for
synthetics as they are more ‘budget friendly’.
Or, at least that’s what people say…
The issue with synthetic hair pieces is that
they often only last 3-6 months before they
start shedding hair (thin hair on my topper
or wig too?! No way!) or becoming knotty.
Some people LOVE the fact that with
synthetic hair they come pre-styled, so you
don’t need to worry about styling it yourself.
However, this also means you usually can’t
use any heat to style them (they turn into a
melted mess!), so you can’t curl or
straighten your piece. You also can’t have a
synthetic piece coloured to get those
dimensional, realistic colours to match your
own bio hair.
Synthetic pieces also have a certain ‘shine’
to them, which doesn’t mimic how your own
hair appears, making it a bit more difficult to
blend. All in all, synthetic pieces are much
less expensive than human hair pieces, but
they aren’t versatile and won’t last you as
long. For some people, this is perfect! But if
you’d like more versatility and a longer
lasting piece, you may want to invest in
human hair.
