Guide on Premium Human Hair Wigs

How Are Human Hair Wigs Made?

If you're interested in purchasing a human hair wig, you may want to know how they're made and which type best suits your lifestyle.

Categories of Human Hair Wigs

Human hair wigs are divided into three categories.

Virgin Hair

Virgin hair is human hair that's never been dyed or chemically treated.

Remy Hair

Remy hair is also 100% human hair, but it has the cuticle in the same direction, and it may be dyed or color-treated hair.

100% Human Hair

This is simply a term for any hair that has grown on a human head. This does not indicate how it has been treated, colored, or how it was retrieved.

Human Hair Wig Construction

How the wig is constructed is another consideration when choosing a beautiful natural hair wig.

Wefted Wig Caps

Strips of hair, called wefts, are woven together with nylon thread. They're sewn by hand or machine, forming a crosshatch stitch pattern that's visible on the underside of the cap.

Hand-tied Wigs

Each single strand of hair is hand tied, or knotted, onto the mesh cap using a crochet-style tool. While the most labor-intensive process, taking up to a month to complete, hand-tied wigs also provide the most natural look and movement.

Monofilament

Monofilament wigs utilize wefted and hand-tied stitching styles. The hand-knotted portion is sewn into the flesh-toned lace panel on the top of the wig allowing or a natural looking scalp and allows multidirectional parting.

Lace Front 

Lace front is the front part of the mesh cap, providing a natural appearance to the hairline.

Thin Skin Inserts

Natural hair is sewn into the front silicone thin skin insert of the mesh cap, giving the hair a natural scalp appearance.

Are Human Hair Wigs Worth the Price?

Human hair wigs do cost significantly more than their synthetic counterparts. They're an investment that provides many benefits:

  • Longevity: With proper care, such as handwashing in lukewarm water, and proper conditioning, human hair wigs can last 3-5 years. By comparison, synthetic wigs have a shelf life of approximately 1 year with proper care.
  • Versatility: Because they're made with human hair, these wigs can be straightened or styled just like your natural hair.
  • Breathability: Human hair is more breathable and allows for better air circulation than their synthetic hair counterparts.
