A synthetic wig is a type of wig made from man-made fibers that are put through various chemical processes to give them a similar look, feel, color, and styling capability as human hair. Synthetic wigs are created using specialized technology to give the overall appearance and feel of real hair. They are easy to take care of and require less maintenance than human hair wigs, as they have something called “style retention” and hold their style regardless of the weather. Synthetic wigs are versatile, allowing you to try out various colors and styles without the need to see a hair stylist by purchasing multiple synthetic wigs. They are also less expensive than human hair wigs. However, synthetic wigs may have a less natural appearance than human hair wigs, and the differences in shine and flow can be quite distinct and easy to spot. Additionally, synthetic wigs cannot be styled with heat, and the chemicals used to give synthetic hair the same luster, smoothness, and in some cases, the ability to withstand heat-styling, hot water, and styling product ingredients may cause a negative reaction depending on your skin type.
