If you’re researching wigs for the first time, you’re sure to notice a distinct price difference between human hair and synthetic wigs. Your initial response may be somewhere along the lines of shock paired with an unbelievable urge to just take in the beauty of human hair wigs. You just want a wig that looks fabulous and natural, but also lasts as long as possible.Purchasing a human hair wig is not just an everyday splurge; It’s an investment. But does the price really reflect the quality of the product? Are human hair wigs expensive? Here’s a look at where the cost factors into the construction and quality of a human hair wig.

Quality of Human Hair

Unlike synthetic hair, human hair cannot be fabricated on demand. It a natural material that takes time to grow, so it is in much lower supply than standard synthetic hair. Additionally, it takes 2-3 heads of hair to create a single human hair wig. This, of course, makes human hair more expensive.

Additionally, the human hair used to make wigs is also available in various qualities.

  • Standard Human Hair, which is an extemely high quality material, but does go through significant processing before being made into a wig.
  • Remy Human Hair, which is the gold standard of human hair. When the hair was collected, it was collected with the hair cuticles in the same direction. This means the hair cuticle is left intact, giving the most natural look and feel imaginable. This is the most expensive human hair option.
  • Human Hair/Synthetic Blends: This is a wig that is made from a combination of human hair and synthetic hair. They are less expensive than full human hair wigs, but you won’t get the same quality that you would from a human hair wig.

Constuction of Human Hair Wigs

When dealing with high quality human hair, wig makers often contruct wigs with full lace or hand-tied caps. This is an intensive process that involves hand tying each individual hair to a mesh wig cap, providing the most realistic look possible. Making a single hand-tied human hair wig can take as long 3 days to complete. That doesn’t even include the time and energy it takes to sort, process, and prepare the hair, which can take weeks. Because the construction of human hair wigs is so time consuming and laborious, this drives up the price of the wig.
