Human hair wigs are still considered the best product for everyone looking for a wig perfectly imitating a real hair-do and seeking comfort and durability. At the same time the quality of artificial wigs is constantly improving and for some groups of clients it may be a better choice than a much more expensive natural product. This way more and more clients when buying a wig are on the horns of a dilemma what to choose? Let me help a little bit.

There are two questions you have to answer before buying a wig. The first is for how long you need a wig. The second is what is your main objective? - to be absolutely sure nobody can guess you are wearing a wig or are you simply willing to have a great look from time to time with a new, jazzy hair-do? Artificial hair wigs are often purchased for a short period of time when somebody loses hair temporarily, e.g. after a chemotherapy. In such a case good quality artificial hair wig can be an equally good proposition as a human hair wig and it is undoubtedly less expensive. Artificial wigs are also the first choice for transvestites and crossdressers who often prefer simply to impress people around. On the other hand transsexuals who invest a lot in a transition process buy human hair wigs much more often so that the transition is full.

Artificial wigs are also a good source of fun and entertainment and a part of make-up in cinema and theater. In both cases the purchase of a more expensive human hair wig would be nothing but unjustified wastefulness.

Summing up - if you need a wig perfectly imitating your own hair-do for more than half a year buy a human hair product. Otherwise, good branded artificial hair wig will be just enough for you.

And at the end a small curiosity. The most specific group of clients buying wigs are Jewish orthodox women. It is abandoned to leave home without a headgear for them and a wig is considered a qualified headgear equal to a headscarf or a hat. Jewish women use their wigs often and for a long time so they usually buy durable human hair wigs. It is also probable that traditional way of living goes in line with such a choice.
