They have hair on the sides, but are open on top to help keep your head cooler. You can also buy bangs that can be attached to hats, scarves or turbans. Wigs can be made either of natural human hair, or of synthetic materials.
When comparing a high quality synthetic wig, there is not a lot of difference in the look and feel of the hair. The main differences are in cost and maintenance, so choose the type that's right for your needs. Synthetic wigs are cheaper, hold their style regardless of the weather, and don't fade over time.
But they don't last as long as wigs made of natural hair, and don't have as much flexibility in styling. Natural human hair wigs are more expensive and might come in fewer color options, but they can be cut, styled, and dyed just like your own hair.
The drawback is that they'll also need more maintenance, will react to weather, and might need restyling or re-dying over time. Also consider how long you expect to keep the wig, and whether you would rather have a single wig that lasts a long time, or whether you'd like to change up your look more often with two or more wigs. Thank you so much! Many people suffering from hair loss during cancer treatment experience a wide-range of emotions, including anger, sadness and insecurity.

With synthetic wigs, changing up your look can be difficult because the fibers are not normally heat-resistant, meaning they can melt when styling tools are applied to them. While synthetic wigs are a great, budget-friendly option, they usually have a shinier appearance and can fit awkwardly. With this type of wig, you can wash, curl, straighten and even cut your hair into a new style.
Just like your natural hair, human hair wigs can also be colored or highlighted! If you do not live close to one of the salons who partner with us, or prefer to use your own stylist, no worries!
