Artificial or Human Hair Wig - Which Is Better and for Whom?
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.
