Durability – human hair wigs are made from real human hair and have the texture that real human hair has. If you invest in a good human hair wig and treat it in the same way that you would treat your natural hair it will last for up to two years.
Quality – wigs made from human hair are quality wigs as they are made from the best quality human hair. The important thing to note with human hair is that every effort must be made to treat the hair with care. This means shampoo, condition, and style with suitable products.
Tools of the trade – when you invest in a good quality human hair wig you have to make sure you have the right equipment to take care of your wig. Let’s look at what you will need.
- A paddle brush and a wide tooth comb
- A foam head or a wig stand to keep your wig in good shape
- Alcohol-free shampoo
- A good moisturizing conditioner

Styling tools – With human hair you can use heat styling tools such as hot curlers, straightening irons, and blow dryers, although stylists recommend using a heat styling product on the hair shaft and the ends to prevent damage or split ends. Remember, as with your natural hair, take a break from the heat when possible and allow your human hair wig to air dry.
Easy to maintain – natural human hair wigs are easy to maintain as once you have washed and styled them you can wear them at least 8 to 10 times before you have to wash them again. In addition, you can use dry shampoo on human hair wigs, and they won’t be damaged by the build-up. Once you decide to wash your wig the natural shampoo will remove any build-up left over from the dry shampoo.
Human hair wigs are by far the best choice, they are natural and lustrous looking and easy to style, besides nothing feels as good as real hair when you touch it!
