Lifestyle
When shopping for a wig, it's crucial to consider your lifestyle, schedule, and hair styling abilities. How much time can you devote to styling your hair? What climate do you live in? And, just as important, your budget!
If you have limited time or struggle with styling, a regular synthetic or heat friendly synthetic wig might be your best bet. They come pre-styled and aren’t affected by humidity or rain, so your look never suffers, regardless of the weather. Of course, human hair wigs are unparalleled in their natural appearance, but they require regular styling and come with a higher price tag.
By answering these questions, you can determine whether synthetic or human hair wigs are the optimal choice for you. Both have their advantages, but the key is finding what suits your needs best.
