What is the main advantage of a human hair over synthetic hair?

In short: 

Human hair is more versatile. You can customize it more effectively and efficiently.  Unlike synthetic hair, human hair can be styled and colored. Human hair also can last longer. 

In Detail: 

The “main advantage” of human hair over synthetic hair is different for any wig owner. The main advantage of human hair is what matters to you, what you’re looking for. 

For example, if you want a versatile wig, then human hair is your best bet.  You can do just about anything that you want to do to it. Indeed, as it really is human hair, it’s just like your natural hair. So, if you want to color it, you can. If you want it permed, curled, straightened, and so forth - if you can do it with your real, natural hair then you can do it with a human hair wig as well. 

Human hair wigs feel natural, of course, because they are. They’re made from 100% human hair.

If you’re looking for a wig to stand the test of time, then the “main advantage” to you will be human hair wigs’ durability. These wigs can last. For example, they can last two to three times longer than synthetic wigs might. Of course, much of this will be defined by how you both use and care for the wig. 

For example, it’s not uncommon for our customers to have human hair wigs that last for anywhere between one to three years. 

Another significant advantage of human hair wigs that might make them the right choice for you: their texture. Think of all of the different kinds of textures you might find in a person’s hair. You can find all of those in human hair wigs as well. 

That means you can get curly hair wigs, you can get thick-haired wigs, you can get wigs with thin hair, you can get wigs with wavy hair, wigs with straight hair, or any other kind of styling. 

Those are some of the most common reasons that folks opt for human hair wigs. 

What to Keep in Mind About Human Hair Wigs 

Human hair wigs, while they have plenty of advantages over synthetic hair wigs, might not be the best choice for every single wig wearer. 

For starters, these human hair wigs tend to be a bit more expensive than some of the synthetic wigs. You get what you pay for, of course, when it comes to human hair wigs. Human hair wigs are considered to be a premium option. 

Beyond that, while human hair wigs have plenty of styling options, you will have to take your time to style them. Just as you would, of course, with real hair.
