Posted BySalamBeauty is skin deep! Is it? Beauty in today’s modern times is how we tend to make ourselves happy. How people are judged by the way they look. Hair being an important part of that look means that having beautiful hair becomes imperative to look good. However, not everyone is blessed with beautiful locks of hair.
Artificial hair, in the form of hair wigs, hair extensions, hair caps and hair patches has become popular in recent times. Whether you are buying wigs in Hyderabad or wigs in Gurgaon or wigs in Bangalore, this article will help you understand wigs in more detail.
What are wigs?
Wigs are artificial hair strands attached to a cap-like structure worn over the head. The wig market has expanded considerably in recent years. Today, wigs come in various forms. From convenient caps to hair extensions, from full-head wigs to colored and highlighted ones, the list is endless.
What are the types of wigs?
Wigs can be made of various types of materials, both synthetic and natural. Based on the type of material used, wigs can be divided into four categories roughly:
1. Synthetic wigs
Made from a synthetic material, these wigs are stronger and more durable than real hair wigs. Justifiably for clear reasons. They come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors. However, many users complain that the material is not breathable or organic in nature.
Therefore, these wigs may lead to skin rashes and even make you feel hot and sweaty on a normal pleasant day. Also, the base material of such a wig, which is made of synthetic material, does not blend in with the natural skin and creates a ‘floating’ sensation over the head.
2. Net unit wigs
These wigs come with a net-like cap attached to the hair. The net cap may be made of several kinds of materials, both organic and inorganic in nature. While inorganic materials include synthetic fabric, natural materials include natural organic fabrics.
The hair strands are supposed to be stitched with the base material to give it an appearance of a head full of hair. Unfortunately it gives out the feeling of unnatural hair growth and volume.
3. Combination wigs
Combination wigs have machine-made back and side portions, while the front and the top portions are hand-tied. The front portion may use fabric as a material, while the back portion may be machine-made and slightly thicker.
The hair strands used may be a combination of natural and synthetic fibers. These wigs are more affordable than all other options hence are widely used by the common man.
What are Cosmetic hair replacement systems?
Cosmetic hair replacement systems are the most upgraded form of hair replacement options available. Hence they are custom made from natural hair strands. Since they are made from natural hair strands they are the most expensive.
The base material is also made up of natural fibers and natural materials. They are the most versatile of all options and can be styled in any way you like. However, they also require a lot of care and attention. With the right kind of care and treatment, these hair wigs can last for a year or so.
How do people Accessorize their wigs?
Often, we stay away from wigs, because they give a fake look to our appearance. Artificial hair wigs, which are made from synthetic hair, often give a fake, tacky look to the appearance.
