Find Out Why Wigs Are So Expensive!
Anyone that knows about wigs knows how expensive they can be. Every time that I’ve read about a wigs, or even bought a wig, it’s been no less than $50. That price tag was for a synthetic wig, not a human
hair wig. Both synthetic and human hair wigs can cost anywhere from $15 to over $1000. Why? The simple answer is that all wigs are created differently. Wigs are similar to clothes, handbags and other accessories that we love dearly. Think about it. When you buy a designer handbag, do you think about the reasons why it might be so expensive? When I buy designer things, or even knockoff products, I think about the differences between the designer product price and the knockoff price. It’s the same for wigs. There are so many things to consider when you buy a wig such as longevity, style, length and color. Also, you should think about the wig stylist that you’re choosing to create your wig. If you’re not using a wig stylist, then you should think about the cost of the materials you’ll need to create your own wig. All in all, wigs aren’t cheap. Let’s talk about why.
Synthetic Wigs
Most of us understand that synthetic wigs are the cheapest option when it comes to purchasing wigs. There are multiple reasons why synthetic wigs are less expensive than human hair wigs. Synthetic wigs usually have an artificial shine. They come pressed, cut, and pre-styled and often cannot be changed much. Synthetic wigs come in all types of different styles. Since they are cheap, you’ll be able to have many different options without spending a fortune. These days, synthetic wigs have become popular, especially since manufacturers have worked on making them look more realistic. However, despite these efforts, synthetic wigs don’t seem to have the same quality as human hair wigs. Also, the most significant disadvantage that I’ve experienced is that synthetic wigs cannot be styled. It doesn’t matter what kind of wig you get; you won’t be able to manipulate it with heat. Most of the times, synthetic wigs should just be thrown away after they get old. This can be thwarted if you use a gentle conditioner on the wig right when it gets old. Conditioning a synthetic wig is a great way to preserve its longevity, but it still won’t last as long as human hair. If you’re looking to save your money, then a synthetic wig may be the best option for you.
Human Hair Wigs
Human hair wigs are more expensive because they have to be custom made, and they’re made from human hair. Color and heat can manipulate human hair. This kind of hair will typically last longer than a synthetic wig, and if you purchase perfect hair, it can last for over a year. Wigs made from human hair can cost anywhere from $250 to over $1000. This price tag is especially valid for lace front wigs made from great bundle styles. These prices of the bundles will be a majority of the amount you’ll need to pay. Bundles can be expensive depending on the company you decide to purchase from. You’ll want to make sure you are buying from a company that is reputable. When choosing bundles, look into the reviews and see how much or how little people enjoy them. The great thing about human hair is that is can be washed, conditioned, blow-dried and straightened. Since a human hair wig doesn’t have to stay on your hair day and night, it won’t lose its shine and softness. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether investing in this kind of wig will be worthwhile.
