When it comes to choosing a hair replacement, one of the first questions that arises is: should I choose a natural hair wig or a synthetic fibre wig?
Because everyone has unique needs, choosing a wig is not just a matter of style. Budget, comfort, desired look, frequency of use... there are many criteria to consider. In this article, we will help you identify the solution that best suits your needs.
A human hair wig
It is made from authentic human hair. At NJ Création, we select high-quality hair that has been carefully treated to preserve its softness, shine and hold.
Advantages:
• An ultra-natural look
• Unlimited styling possibilities (blow-drying, straightening or curling)
• Longer lifespan: with proper care, it can last 1 to 2 years or even longer.
Disadvantages:
• Higher price: due to its rarity and the work required
• More demanding maintenance: requires regular care, just like natural hair.
• More sensitive to humidity: may react like your hair in the rain or in humid weather.
And a synthetic wig ?
Synthetic fibre closely mimics natural hair. It reproduces its silkiness, lightness and colours, which can be varied infinitely. Its ease of styling and maintenance are real advantages in everyday life!
Advantages:
• Easy maintenance: one wash is enough to restore it to its original shape.
• Affordable price: perfect for those on a budget or for a first wig.
• Lightweight: very comfortable to wear, especially in summer or for sensitive scalps.
Disadvantages:
• Less styling freedom: as heat can damage the fibres, heating appliances should not be used on synthetic models.
• Shorter lifespan: 1 year on average, depending on use.
At NJ Création, we use high-end fibres to make our wigs. We have also created Easy Brush° fibre, which has the advantage of withstanding light blow-drying at 180°C.
Mixed fibre wig: a compromise?
Mixed fibre is composed of a blend of high-temperature synthetic fibre and natural hair, for a result very close to natural hair. This blend of fibres allows for normal blow-drying up to 180°C and maintains the style after washing.
Advantages:
• Very natural appearance: the fibres are soft and the result is close to real hair.
• Unlimited styling possibilities: you can blow-dry, straighten or curl the fibre thanks to its resistance.
• Longer lifespan: with proper care and depending on use, they can last 18 months on average.
Disadvantages:
• Higher price: the price is higher than a synthetic wig.
• More demanding maintenance: requires as much regular care as natural hair.
To conclude
Whether made from natural hair or synthetic fibres, each type of wig has its advantages. The important thing is to choose the one that suits your lifestyle, your desires and your budget.
