Synthetic vs Human Hair Wigs

Synthetic vs Human Hair Wigs: What’s Right for You?

At It’s Not Only Hair, we believe choosing a wig should feel empowering - not overwhelming. One of the biggest decisions you’ll make is whether to go with synthetic hair or human hair. Both have their own advantages, and the best choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and styling preferences.

Synthetic Wigs

Pros:

• Low-maintenance: style holds without daily effort
• Budget-friendly and accessible
• Weather-resistant - no frizz or droop
• Wide variety of styles and colours

Cons:

• Shorter lifespan
• Less natural movement than human hair
• Generally tangle more than human hair

Human Hair Wigs

Pros:

• Most natural look and feel
• Can be styled more and coloured
• Long-lasting with proper care
• Can be fully customised to your style

Cons:

• Higher cost upfront
• Needs maintenance like natural hair
• Sensitive to humidity and rain
• Requires styling before wearing

Which Should You Choose?

• Choose synthetic if you want something easy, affordable, and ready-to-wear.
• Choose human hair if you want the most natural, versatile, and durable option.

There’s no right or wrong - just what works best for you. And if you’re still unsure, we are always here to help guide you.
