There are many different kinds of wigs for your choice, lace front wigs and full lace wigs, synthetic wigs and human hair wigs, they have their own advantage and disadvantage, It really all depends on what is your requirements.

Synthetic wigs

Extremely easy to wear and care for, these styles tend to be lighter and even more natural looking. Most stylists recommend synthetic wigs because they require the least amount of care. Shorter synthetic wigs are considered "shake-n-go," meaning that all you do is shake them out and they look great. Longer styles may simply need to be combed or finger-styled. One thing that’s important to remember is that you never use heat on a synthetic wig! Any heat source, such as a blow dryer, curling or straightening iron — even an open oven — will damage the fiber and ruin the wig.

There is a variety of synthetic fibers used to make a synthetic wig, but all fibers are fine threads of fiber made to resemble human hair. The manufacturer may use a single type of fiber or a combination of two or three different fibers. The synthetic wigs made today are more natural looking than ever before.

Synthetic wigs are pre-styled from the manufacturer and require very little effort on the part of the wearer with regard to combing and styling the wig when worn. These wigs are easily washed and should be allowed to air dry. The synthetic wig is designed to retain the original style and will not accept a permanent wave or color change. And curling irons, blow dryers or hot rollers are never allowed to dry synthetic wigs.

1. Easy to care and maintain

1. No matter how good the quality it is, it won’t feel like natural hair

Human hair wigs

These versatile wigs can be treated just like your own hair — and can be curled and styled in any number of ways. These styles also tend to be a bit heavier and thicker, and may need to be trimmed to suit your features. Since they do not come prestyled, and only hold a style as long as your own hair would, they require more effort than synthetic wigs. Human hair wigs are a good idea if you are skilled at styling your own hair, and don’t mind doing it every day.
