alternative hair

  • A wig is a piece made up of alternative hair, which covers the whole head. It can be composed of human hair, synthetic fiber, or heat resistant synthetic fiber.

  • A topper is a piece of alternative hair which covers part of the head, usually the top. It is attached to a person’s existing hair with integrity with clips or topper strand.

fiber

  • To choose the right fiber wig, consider your needs for natural look/feel, your lifestyle plays an important factor,ease of styling, and budget by evaluating the pros and cons of classic synthetic, heat-resistant synthetic, and human hair pieces.

  • Heat-Resistant Synthetic:

    Allows for styling with heat tools, offering more versatility, and closer mimics natural hair. 

    Traditional Synthetic is NOT heat tolerant. Do not apply heat to your synthetic piece, it will melt.
