What is a Human Hair Wig?
The 100% human hair wig is the answer wearers everywhere have been waiting for. There have been many materials used for realistic pieces over the years.
In most recent times, animal hair and synthetic materials have been used to manufacture wigs of all types. While these materials make the wigs affordable, they don’t necessarily look as natural as the wearers would like.
Today, it is common to see men and women wearing authentic natural hair wigs that look and feel just like the real thing that can also be colored and styled anyway you prefer.
What is a Human Hair Wig Made Of?
As the name implies, human hair wigs are made from actual human hair that is collected carefully so that each cuticle is intact. Each strand is then hand-woven a stretchable cap that is worn over the head.
Great care is taken so that the cuticles and strands are aligned with one another. Realistic natural parts can be created, and other hair effects, just like you find on real human heads the world over.
The caps used in the wig manufacturing process can be created from silk, lace, mesh, and other materials. The caps are designed to hold the wig in place and to allow for maximum comfort while the hair is being worn. The higher the cost, generally speaking, the more comfortable the wig.
Where Do Human Hair Wigs Come From?
Ever since the first human hair wigs were invented, collecting hair for wig manufacturing has become a big business. In the beginning, manufacturers would collect combings, which are hairs that fall out naturally at the end of the natural lifecycle. Today, wig makers prefer hair that is grown purposefully for the use of wig manufacturing.
Much of the hair used in wig making comes from Italy, as it tends to be the most desirable as far as color and texture are concerned. Other colors and textures are purchased from areas like Germany, Spain, France, China, India, Malaysia, Brazil, and Japan.
In most cases, women enter into a contract with manufacturers to grow and sell their hair. After cutting the hair, each strand is treated with a formula that strips the outer cuticle layer.
What is a Full Lace Human Hair Lace Wig?
These wigs come with caps that are made of comfortable lace that fits snugly against your scalp, allowing for the most realistic part that can be placed anywhere on the head.
What is a Front Human Hair Wig?
This type is common with alopecia hair loss and hair thinning. Like the full lace wig, the front cap allows you to freely part your hair. If you prefer deep parting, you can customize the size of the part-line, the deepest parts being around six inches.
How to Wash a Human Hair Wig
The best part about a human hair wig is that you can wash it just like you would your natural hair. We recommend that you wash your wig while it’s on a plastic mannequin head. This helps the hairpiece retain its shape while preventing the threads from becoming inverted through the cap.
Wash it with a mild shampoo and conditioner, while taking care not to get the conditioner in the roots of the wig. Instead, work the shampoo and conditioner down each strand, taking care not to pull too hard. Then, rinse the wig thoroughly.
Failing to do so can lead to product buildup, which is one of the leading causes of wig hair loss. You can keep your wig looking terrific and performing optimally by washing every 3 to 4 days, or more frequently if you wear it daily.
How to Style, Curl & Straighten Human Hair Wigs
Another significant benefit of wearing a human hair wig is that you can style it whichever way you prefer. You can crimp your locks, curl them, or tie them up in a ponytail.
If the wig is made of Remy hair, you know the stands are uniform, so they will flow just as naturally as if the hair belonged to you.
Can You Color Or Dye a Human Hair Wig?
Yes! Unlike synthetic wigs, you can color a human hair wig fairly easily. You don’t even need any particular products or tools. You can use the same hair color from the same manufacturing and utilizing the same exact tools you would normally. Be sure and wash the wig thoroughly after the dyeing process to keep the hair looking clean and shiny.
