In case of hair loss, a man always has the opportunity to turn to the procedure of hair transplantation. However, this decision comes at a cost. In addition, hair transplantation does not guarantee a 100% result in case of progressive baldness.
The best option for those who do not want to put up with a balding crown is men's wigs. Oddly enough, this method is used by the majority of the stronger sex in Western countries who are faced with this problem. Let's see what you should pay attention to when choosing a men's wig.
Quality
When choosing a wig, the quality of the hair should be a priority. The natural appearance of the product is a fundamental point that will make its operation invisible to others.
Purchasing a men's wig made from low-quality chemical ingredients or second-rate natural hair, the wearer gets an extremely ridiculous appearance. As practice shows, cheap products lose their original shape during the first months of regular use. Hair becomes sparse and similartow.
Cheap men's wigs are coated with special chemicals that initially give them an attractive shape. However, it is worth washing the product several times, as there is no trace of the original chic. The raw material for manufacturing here is spoiled, dyed, and other illiquid hair. And if earlier the latter went to waste, today the technology of chemical treatment allows them to return to life for a while.
Synthetic hair wigs
Faux wigs are made using nylon, acrylic and vinyl threads. An alternative option is the use of yak hair. However, the latter do not hold their shape well, have low tensile strength, and have a repulsive odor.
High-quality artificial wigs are made from synthetic fibers with the addition of threads synthesized from seaweed called "kanekalon". Currently, the material is in the widest demand for hair extensions.
Pros of synthetic wigs:
- relatively low cost;
- no need for styling, careful care of the product;
- artificial hair does not lose shape when weather conditions change, do not fade in the sun;
- synthetic hair is hypoallergenic and lightweight.
As for the shortcomings of artificial men's wigs, such products are relatively short-lived, unstable toexposed to high temperatures.
Natural Men's Wigs
Natural wigs are made from he althy, uncolored hair taken from donors. Today, there are so-called European, Indian and Asian types of products on the market. The former are distinguished by elegance and ease of installation, but they have a rather high price. For the manufacture of Indian wigs, rather dry hair is used, which has a relatively "lifeless" appearance. Asian wigs are sleek, shiny, yet naughty in terms of styling.
Men's natural hair wig has the following advantages:
- Durable - A quality European hair product can last a decade.
- Able to color, cut and perm.
- The same products are suitable for caring for a wig as for your own, natural hair.
The comparative disadvantage here is the high price. In addition, most natural wigs require a lot of care, and when the humidity rises, the hairstyle can quickly lose shape.
Wig care tips
In order for a men's wig to last as long as possible, it is necessary to follow the generally accepted rules for caring for such products. Wash wigs exclusively in cold water. Drying with a hair dryer under low temperature air is allowed.
Afteruse, the wig is put on a special blank. As a stand, an ordinary glass jar is often used. In order for artificial hair to retain its attractive appearance, it is subjected to cleaning, neat combing and styling. To make a men's wig last longer, avoid straightening and coloring the strands.
An experienced stylist will help you choose the right wig care products. However, it is better to immediately purchase special balms and shampoos when buying a wig.
