Other than color, the difference between human hair wigs and synthetic fibers comes down to preferences like lifespan, styling desires, budget and hair thickness.

Sometimes, you'll want the premium soft texture of human hair and others you'll want the durability and ease of use of a synthetic fiber. We encourage you to think about your lifestyle, your wig frustrations, budget, and how long you need your wig to last. Below is a guide to help make choosing your hair type easily.
