A person who suffers from universalis alopecia will need wigs for many years, unlike people who suffer from transient alopecia. Some may also need it while under chemo effects. This is the first clue to determine which fiber type will work the most for you.
Below you’ll find 5 advantages of each hair type. You will be able to choose the best option for you along with the budget.
SYNTHETIC WIGS
- PRACTICAL: Their main characteristic is they are already styled. This type of fiber maintains its shape and color even after a wash. So, if you are one of those people who do not have much time on a daily basis it’ll do wonders for you. You just have to place it, accommodate it a little with your fingers and you’ll be ready to go!
- LIGHTWEIGHT: Yes, Synthetic wigs are extremely light, and their texture is very similar to natural hair. Nowadays technology has evolved so much that’s very difficult to know with the naked eye and touch if they are natural or synthetic hair fibers.
- EASY MAINTENANCE: You can wash them every 2 or 3 weeks, of course, depending on how you use them. The best part is that after you wash it let it air dry and it will return to its initial shape by itself. It will not lose its original hairstyle.
- ECONOMIC PRICE: Let’s face it. Price always matters when we buy something. Unlike natural wigs, synthetic fibers are not so time-consuming and complex. This results in a more accessible price. It’s better to have two or more styles and you can wear one while the other dries.
- COLOR: Synthetic wigs have a wider color chart.
