No one grows up thinking they will need a wig. No one expects to lose their hair. But it happens - all too frequently.
For many, this is their reality and a wig is an important lifeline and confidence booster so they can live a normal life.
Wigs: A helpful and instant solution for permanent hair loss
When a man or women starts experiencing significant hair loss, one of the first things you think of is a wig. Or at least, if it continues to get worse, a wig becomes a serious consideration.
The second thing that strikes you is that they almost always look fake (too much hair), or associate it with Grandma when her hair started to thin – neither of these associations are a good thing! Fashion wigs, are simply that, for fashion and fun. These wigs can be purchased online and by nature they are fun, cheap, and are good for a night out on the town….. but not good for much else. They simply won’t do to help a person with a serious hair loss condition.
Before you buy a wig, know that not all wigs are the same
There are different types and qualities of wigs or hair additions.
For example:
- Cheap wigs – these are all machine made fashion wigs that you buy at the mall.
- 100% natural human hair wigs that you absolutely cannot tell from real natural growing hair.
- Hybrid or Mono-top wigs, these are a combination of machine made and hand knotted wigs.
- Processed human hair wigs
- Virgin (unprocessed) European hair wigs
- Natural hair wigs
- Remy Hair wigs.
- Medical grade synthetic or synthetic blend wigs.
- Machine made wigs and “hand knotted’ human hair wigs.
