Why Is Synthetic Hair The Right Choice For You?

why is synthetic hair the right choice for you?

When buying a wig, it’s important to consider whether real human hair or synthetic hair fiber type is best suited for your needs based on why you’re buying the wig.

To make this easier, our experts had a look at some of the different types of synthetic wigs available today and why a synthetic hair wig may be the right choice for you.

What Are The Advantages of Synthetic Hair?

Synthetic wigs are generally made from specially crafted man-made fibers like modacrylic and/or polyester to resemble real human hair.

Over the years, the quality of these man-made fibers has improved – by a lot! Here, we look at some of the advantages of synthetic hair wigs.

Synthetic Hair Wigs Look and Feel Like Real Human Hair

There was a time when the synthetic fibers for wigs looked very unnatural. With an artificial shine, poor movement, and volume, they fulfilled an important purpose – of providing hair coverage – but didn’t really look great doing it.

Fortunately for us all, this isn’t the case anymore. With thinner fibers and better construction methods, synthetic hair wigs today are more real than ever before.

The Bridgette Wig by Jaclyn Smith is made from Kanekalon® synthetic fibers, which are widely regarded as the closest to real human hair.

The individual synthetic fibers not only look natural, but they also fall and move in a way that it’s nearly impossible to tell it’s not real human hair! Wear this synthetic hair wig and be ready for jealous looks from everyone around you!

The easy-care Kanekalon® synthetic fibers hold the style with minimum upkeep, and the permalift technology offers volume and fullness without adding extra weight.

Top Tip: When taken out of the box, some new synthetic wigs can look flat. Simply shake the wig to bring it to life and wear it with confidence!

Synthetic Hair Wigs Hold The Style and Are Easier To Maintain

One of the biggest advantages of synthetic hair wigs is how easy they are to maintain and how well they hold shape and style.

With real human hair, a new hairstyle requires a visit to the hair salon. Several dollars and hours later, you emerge looking and feeling like the beauty queen you are. Cut to the next day, and you’re back to the same look (still a beauty queen, even if you don’t feel like one!)

On the other hand, synthetic wigs come with what is known as ‘style memory’ – which means even after a few washes, your wig will retain its original styling. Incredible, right?!

Synthetic wig styles aren’t dependent on the weather – if your natural hair frizzes up or falls flat in humid weather, you know the struggle is real!

Plus, they are incredibly easy to maintain. Curls look stunning but need a lot of care and effort. But a synthetic wig with spiral curls like Brittany Wig by Paula Young® will hold the style with little to no upkeep.

The long, lush, and relaxed spiral curls of this wig drape down with bounce for an unforgettable style that will make you the center of attention wherever you are.

Synthetic Hair Wigs Offer Great Styling Versatility

Many synthetic hair wigs are made from heat-friendly fibers that can be styled and shaped just like real human hair.

The VF Heidi Lace Front VersaFiber® Wig by Paula Young® is made from heat-resistant VersaFiber® and can be styled with heat tools up to 350°F. The VF Heidi arrives straight, giving you a choice to shape it to suit your style and look.

Use a curling iron to add curls or waves or flat iron to straighten heat-friendly wigs. Wave it one week and straighten another – the choice is yours. The best part is it retains the style even after a wash!

Top Tip: For best-curling results, clip curls and allow them to cool. Once the wig is cool, the style is set and ready to go!

Colors and More Colors

Coloring hair is a great way to change up your look, but it comes at a cost. Not only does the new color fade over time, but hair colors and bleach also damage your hair.

If you’re someone who likes to color your hair – whether that’s streaks, highlights, or a full makeover – you’ll get this.

With a synthetic hair wig, this is no longer a worry. Straight out of the box, you have so many hair lengths, textures, and styles you won’t know where to begin!

Looking for rooted colors? We’ve got it! Custom colors? You bet we have it.

Furthermore, it’s not only about style. For all you older ladies out there – synthetic hair wigs have many options in grays and silvers too! The Dance WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young® is available in over 20 colors, including honey blonde, silver, white, uptown brown, salt and pepper, and almost black! The colors last for a long time too.

When it comes to colors, it’s hard to compete with synthetic hair wigs. Whether it’s a solid color, a blend of a few colors, or something more complex with a synthetic wig, chances are you’ll find what you’re looking for!

Synthetic Hair Wigs Are Cost-Effective

With all the incredible advantages of synthetic hair wigs, you’d be forgiven for thinking they cost a bomb. They don’t!

When it comes to price, natural hair wigs can’t really compete with synthetic hair wigs. This is because it costs a lot to buy and ship natural hair before turning them into wigs. The quantities are limited too. Since synthetic wigs are made from man-made fibers, there are no such challenges. This helps keep prices low.

Of course, the fiber material is not the only factor dictating wig prices. Other factors such as cap construction type and features like lace front also affect the overall price.

At the Paula Young® online store, you can find synthetic wigs from $29.99 to over $500. With sales throughout the year, you can find wigs at 20, 30, and even 50% discounts!

Final Thoughts

All these benefits make synthetic hair wigs an extremely popular choice among women today. If you’re looking for a naturally beautiful hairstyle or a unique hair color, a good-quality synthetic wig may be the right choice for you. And the best part is, no one will be able to tell it’s not real hair!

With synthetic wigs from Paula Young®, you can keep your wardrobe looking fresh and up to date
