The good the bad and the ugly about wigs

A wig is hair that is treated and fashioned by hair styling specialists for people to use. They could be made from human hair, horse hair and other artificial material. These are used not only by people who are bald or who have thinning hair but has become a preferred choice of many who want to be trendy and fashionable like those used by models in the fashion shows.
Conventional methods of wig making began thousands of years ago. The modern ones that you see in the stores today are all made by machines. They can be styled just like natural hair. Those that are made from synthetic materials can be styled better and these are longer lasting than the wigs styled from human hair. And of course it all depends on how well you maintain them.
Products that are made from human hair have to be restyled after it has been washed. But the advantages with natural hair wigs are that they can be dyed and heated appliances can be used on them; for example you could iron out human hair to get them straightened. They can also be cleaned using hot water and you can use the same hair products that you use on your hair. Their synthetic counterparts will not withstand such treatment.
You will also see hair extensions and weaves that are worn to augment appearances. When you buy a wig it would be better to get it trimmed by a hair stylist to suit your face and make it look more authentic on you.
Generally they come with modifiable straps that permit you to enlarge or reduce their size to a certain extent. Moreover they can also be adjusted to suit any sized head. If you are in a quandary about that type of wig would suit you talk to your hair specialist who will be able to suggest what would be suitable for your face.
Some of the really top quality synthetic wigs cost between one to two hundred dollars while those made from natural fiber will cost far more based on how long you want it. Often you will find that stores sell them at discounted rates. This does not imply that they are made from inferior quality material, only that they are not much in fashion any more. But always remember that it would be advisable to buy a good quality artificial fiber one than one made from inferior quality human hair.
