Are Synthetic Wigs Good?

Synthetic wigs have come a long way from their inception. They are lightweight, soft, natural-looking, and easy on the pocket!

When shopping for a wig, the very first decision you need to make is whether you’re going for a synthetic wig or a human hair wig.

While we can’t help you with the exact answer (since all of them are great!), we can help you understand the benefits of synthetic wigs and why they might be right for you.

So let’s dive right in!

What Are Synthetic Hair Wigs Made Of?

Synthetic wigs are made from man-made fibers. Nowadays, there are many different varieties of fibers, such as Kanekalon® synthetic fiber wigs, WhisperLite® wigs, and VersaFiber® wigs. Each has its own unique characteristics.

What Are The Advantages of Synthetic Wigs?

Now that we know what synthetic hair wigs are made of, let’s look at some of the reasons to go for a synthetic wig!

They look quite real

There was a time when synthetic wigs looked, well, synthetic. But with advancements in technology, many synthetic fibers not only look like real human hair, but they even fall and move like real hair!

With lightweight, breathable synthetic wigs, like the Chantal WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®, you’ll feel so comfortable and natural you may forget you’re wearing a wig at all! Made with Kanekalon® WhisperLite® synthetic fiber that offers the ultimate in lightweight comfort, the Chantal comes with bangs that can be brushed away from the face or pulled forward.

Easy to look after

Synthetic wigs are easy to look after and maintain. This is because synthetic fibers do not require as much meticulous care as other fibers.

Most synthetic wigs come pre-styled, which means they do not need to be taken to a hairstylist and are ready to wear straight out of the box. This also means no extra costs and time spent at the salon!

While synthetic hair wigs require less care and attention than human hair wigs, that doesn’t mean they don’t need any care at all! It’s important to wash and condition your wig with the correct products and store it properly. This will ensure your wig not only looks good but lasts longer as well!

Great variety and styles

One of the biggest reasons women like synthetic wigs is the incredible variety of hairstyles and colors available.

Since the hair fiber is made by humans in a factory, it can be made in any color. You’ll find synthetic wigs in natural colors as well as very original and fancy colors (like Sugar and Spice, which is a light ash brown/platinum ash blonde, frosted, or Pecan delight, which is a medium golden brown with light golden blonde highlights).

And it doesn’t stop there! You can pick from rooted wigs to tipped or highlighted wigs, wigs in reds, grays, or silver – like the Dance WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young® – which are hard to find in other hair wigs. The razor-cut bangs and luscious layers make this wig a flirty favorite!

Weatherproof

Many of us has experienced or know someone whose hair gets all frizzy or falls flat in humid weather. Well, if you have a synthetic hair wig, you don’t have to fret about that anymore!

Regardless of sun, snow, or rain, synthetic wigs will hold their style and look. The only thing you need to be mindful of is high heat – like the kind that comes from heat-styling tools or being too close to an oven or open flame! It’s best to take off your wig if you’re cooking in the kitchen to avoid any unforeseen accidents!

Some synthetic wigs are made from heat-stylable fibers. Be sure to check that out before buying your wig! For those longing for long hair with minimum effort, the Easton Wig by Paula Young® offers stylish long with blunt bangs and razor-finished ends that are worth a try!

Cheaper and cost-effective

One of the biggest advantages of synthetic wigs is their price. While other hair wigs can set you back anywhere from $400 to $1200 (or more), you can get synthetic ones for as low as $40.

This means you can buy multiple wigs for the same price as another hair wig! More bang for your buck – who doesn’t want that?

Of course, very cheap wigs may not be great quality. It’s important you know why you’re getting the wig, how often you’ll wear it, and where. This will help you arrive at how much you should be spending on a wig.

What Are The Common Misconceptions About Synthetic Wigs?

Synthetic wigs are a fantastic gift for women, offering a wealth of benefits. But there are some common myths about synthetic wigs that we’d like to debunk for you!

Contrary to popular belief, Paula Young®’s salon-quality synthetic wigs offer a natural finish that looks amazing straight out of the box. While some synthetic wigs in the market may have a shiny appearance, our wigs are designed to look and feel like real hair.

Heat styling is a no-go

You might have heard that you can’t heat-style synthetic wigs, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Our exclusive VersaFiber® heat-resistant wigs, like the Jamie Lynn VersaFiber® Wig by Paula Young®, can be styled with heat tools up to 350°F, giving you even more styling options.

Durability is an issue

While synthetic wigs may not last as long as human hair wigs, with proper care and maintenance, they can have a long lifespan. By taking care of your synthetic wig and regularly maintaining it, you can enjoy its beauty for a long time.

Which Fiber Should You Choose?

When deciding which type of wig to go for, it’s important to consider factors such as where you’ll be wearing the wig, for how long, and how often.

Whether you want to rock fabulous hair every day or switch things up for a special occasion, both human hair and synthetic wigs can do the trick! It’s totally up to you to decide which one suits your needs best. Have fun exploring your options!
