Synthetic
Wigs
Wigs made primarily of modacrylic fibers that have the
look and feel of real hair. The
fibers have memory which allows the original styling to be restored in
most cases by simply spraying with a water bottle and drying from
underneath. An additional
advantage is that synthetic fibers are not porous and cannot absorb
orders.
Human
Hair Wigs
Wigs made of human hair primarily cut in India and
China. Wigs made with Human
Hair are very durable, however they require more upkeep than synthetic
wigs and must be styled on a regular basis. Generally speaking, Human Hair wigs are much heavier than
their Synthetic counterparts and more expensive.
Monofilament
Top Wigs
Wigs with a “skin” type top which allows the wearer
to have a more natural look. Generally
speaking, Monofilament Top Wigs are more comfortable to a person with no
hair. Chemo patients often
have sensitive skin and will find a Monofilament Top Wig is less
irritating than a traditional net cap wig.
Hand
Tied Wigs
Wigs where the hair strand fibers are tied by hand
rather than by machine. Tying by hand is not as tight as machine tied which allows
the strands to be shifted. By
shifting the strands, you can change the part and look of the wig.
