Wigs or Hair Extensions?

Hair Extensions vs human hair Wigs

Have you been trying to figure out how to choose hair extensions vs human hair wigs?  It is a great question. While there is no single answer for this question, there may be reasons why an individual may prefer a wig in some cases particularly if they have Alopecia which is a form of health related condition resulting from hair loss.

Under such condition, wearing a wig may help to cover the Alopecia condition thereby providing a boost to the individual’s ego, morale and self confidence. But for all other purposes- particularly from a fashion conscious perspective extensions are more suitable than human hair wigs in expressing each individual’s personality and styling options and preferences.

Some lace front wigs are more difficult and tricky to style up particularly if they are human hair wigs. It is also possible for your wig to lose color much faster depending on whether it is a human wig or synthetic wig. Hair colors on some wigs particularly if they are synthetic wigs don’t look very natural, and heat from curlers may damage synthetic wigs because their fibers generally don’t do too well with heat. Human hair wigs have more advantages to synthetic wigs. There is also the point that some wigs look too shiny, and may appear too artificial at times.
