Hair wigs are becoming extremely popular these days not just because of severe hair fall problems but also to combat the nightmarish bad hair days. Hair wigs are hence available in wide variety for both men and women. Customers can now choose from hair wigs with varying styling, colors, textures and lengths. But the eternal lingering doubt of the pros and cons of synthetic and real hair wigs always remains.

Synthetic hair wigs are cheaper than real hair wigs but have a shorter lifespan. Though the synthetic hair wigs are easier to maintain, any amount of proper care and maintenance will not increase their lifespan. Another problem faced by synthetic hair wig users is that they cannot use hot styling procedures on the wigs. Since the synthetic hair fibers will be damaged by the heat you cannot perm or straighten the synthetic hair wigs.

Also wearing the synthetic hair wigs causes more perspiration thus warranting frequent washing of the synthetic hair wigs. The synthetic hair wigs also tend to get more damaged than the real hair wigs when worn for long duration near heated areas like in the kitchen, near the fire place or near an oven.

Real Hair Wigs:

Real hair wigs though expensive always last longer than the synthetic hair wigs. But the real hair wigs require a lot of maintenance procedures to make them long lasting. Periodical brushing, washing and conditioning is necessary to keep them clean and natural looking. But the real hair wigs provide more styling options to the wearer.

You can dye them as well as use hot styling procedures on them without worrying about causing any damage to the real hair wigs. The real hair wigs also prevent excessive perspiration of the scalp but require styling after every wash. The real hair wigs are however safer to use while working near heated areas.
