Wig Differences

There are two types of wigs: Synthetic Wig & Human Hair/Natural Wig

Synthetic Wig

Model Model Synthetic Lace Front Natural Hairline Briona

A large amount of wigs available online are made with synthetic hair. A synthetic hair wig will normally cost less than a human hair wig. This is because they are produced in mass quantities. Synthetic hair can be made using a number of fibers. The most popular ones are made with Kanekalon, Futura or Ultima synthetic fibers.

Futura is a great choice for synthetic hair wigs because of its resistance to heat. With the ability to apply more heat to this fiber, the wearer can expand upon hair styles and not be corned into leaving the wig “as-is”.

Ultima Wig

Ultima synthetic hair is made with a collagen protein for a natural, hydrated feel to the hair. This hair has a very close look and feel of human hair and is highly regarded.

Popular brands of synthetic wigs are: Beshe, Model Model, Diana, Isis, Equal and It’s A Wig.

Human Hair/Natural Wig

Saga Remy 100% Human Lace Front Secret

Human hair wigs over the last few decades have become extremely popular. With women wanting their hair to look as natural to their normal hair type as is possible, human hair, or natural hair, comes in a variety of textures, lengths and styles. There’s a human hair wig or hair extension out there for everybody and the end result is hair that hangs naturally, can be cut, dyed, curled, blow-dried, even straightened. Human hair wigs last longer than synthetic hair wigs.

Remy Hair/Virgin Remy Hair Wig

Remy hair is one of the most popular and expensive of all wig hair types. True Remy hair is hair that has been cut directly from the donor’s head, kept together before and after cutting and has had no chemical treatments.

Human hair (that is not Remy hair) still comes from a donor’s head, the difference is that all the hair strands are not kept going in the same direction. The hair is usually brushed in the same direction. Human hair such as this typically is processed to make the hair easier to handle and style. Bleaching of the hair ensures that when it is dyed, it is all the same color.

Popular brands of human hair/Remy wigs are Bobbi Boss, It’s A Wig!, Motown Tress, Shake n Go, Beshe and Sensationnel.

The Politics of Hair: Setting your own Standards

In the mid-1400s when slaves were brought over to America, they must have met with extreme culture shock. As a people, they were stripped of their identity, and forced to work on fields and in homes and then presented with conforming to what was aesthetically acceptable to slave owners.

Our identity was transformed – not parting ways with who we were, but adapting to the times and situation at hand. We come from kings and queens – so our hair was a status symbol. Our hair was the icon of prosperity, wealth and of class.

Black is Beautiful

One of the great things about being a black woman today is our ability to continue with our versatility and our ability to transform ourselves and evolve into…well, whatever we want - whenever the mood hits us.

Want to get back to your roots? Sport an afro. Want to feel young and free? Don some twisties or a ponytail. Climbing up the corporate ladder? Anything goes. Really.

We no longer settle for the status quo.

Outre Synthetic Quick Weave Full Cap Wig Candee - HT - $19.98

We love ourselves – every color, length and grade of hair. We finally know the REAL secret to being beautiful:

1. Perseverance

2. Education

3. Love of oneself

4. Love of each other

5. Wisdom

Now – we are comfortable in our own skin. We age beautifully and we live strong and hard.

We rock our hair slicked down – picked out – swept back or wet and wavy.

There’s no longer an “us” and “them” mentality…we are all sisters. No matter what style we choose, it’s all Black and it’s all good.

There are some that would say we’ve become sell-outs. That natural is the only way to go. But ladies, we love all our looks don’t we? We are each unique – so it doesn’t matter if you jam to Beyonce or Paramore. Or, if you’re light-skinned or dark-skinned. Or, if you sport a weave or a wig or your own curly locks.

The important thing is to set your own standards and not conform to mainstream hair politics.

Types of Wigs
 
All wigs serve pretty much the same purpose – to cover your existing hair or to serve as hair when it is nonexistent. There are many types of wigs out there, to be certain, and they all come down to synthetic vs. human hair. You can get either type in all the wig styles. A synthetic lace front wig looks just as good as a human hair lace front wig, except that you won’t have as much freedom when it comes to applying heat or coloring the wig.

The more popular wigs today are Full Lace and Lace Front wigs. A Full Lace wig features a hairline that is virtually undetectable, so all the hair around your edges, even in the back, appear as if they were your own and not the wig. A Lace Front wig will only have lace in the front portion of the wig. Both styles of wig have a base made of lace that allows your true hair underneath to breathe and grow. Full lace wigs also offer more hairstyles as opposed to the Lace Front wigs because it looks more natural around the entire head.
