Here at Wigs4u, we really do take great pride in the quality of our wigs. We stock a selection of human hair and synthetic styles for men and women, as well as the accessories they need to make wig wear work for them. While we are also proud to keep our prices as low as we can for our customers, quality remains key. Unfortunately, this is not always the case elsewhere!
In fact, the wider market is flooded with lots (and lots) of cheap, poor quality wigs just waiting to trick you into a purchase. But how can you sort the bad and the ugly from the good, especially when shopping for a human hair style here in the UK? Read on to discover how cheap wigs compare to a premium quality, human hair wig to get the facts!
If you put a cheap wig next to a premium human hair wig, the differences become pretty obvious! The biggest thing you’ll notice isn’t just a difference in appearance; its comfort, longevity, styling versatility and realism will also come into question.
An unnatural shiny appearance is often the first and biggest giveaway that the wig isn’t quite right quality-wise. Cheap, poor quality fibres tend to have a plastic-like shine that catches light in a rather unrealistic way. Another part of the wig that may be lacking realism is the hairline. Poor wigs often have hair that’s either too dense or thin at the front, a perfectly straight hairline, zero baby hair, visible knots, or little to no illusion of hair growth.
The signs of a poor quality, cheap wig don’t end there. Low-cost, low quality wigs often sport thick, bulky caps, with the fibres beyond this moving unnaturally, becoming easily tangled and presenting frizzy or frayed ends. The colour of the fibres may also be very one-dimensional, and the fit will certainly not live up to expectations either!
Whether opting for a premium synthetic style or human hair wig, there are signs that it is worth every penny you’re paying for it. The hairline will be more realistic, while the colour of the wider wig will mimic natural hair colour, with multi tonal shades, highlights, lowlights and even strand-by-strand variation only adding to that realism.
For premium human hair wigs in particular, the natural movement and texture are real winners. The styling freedom these qualities unlock can make everyday wig wear super simple. Premium human hair wigs able to be curled, straightened, blow dried, cut, coloured and restyled all over again with the right heat protection as Alopecia UK explains:
“The great thing about human hair wigs is that you can style it any way you want and use any hair product you want – no need to get gloomy about all the hair care product ads on TV! Maybe the easiest way of styling the hair on your wig is to let it dry overnight on big rollers. The rollers give the hair more volume and turn the end of the hair in. All you need to do is to take the rollers out of the dry hair in the morning, brush it through and you’re ready to go.”
