5 Reasons I Prefer SYNTHETIC HAIR over HUMAN HAIR

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Ok friends, are you a synthetic hair or human hair fan? Or both?! Let me know.

[@natashaali2224]

[@mykaestoya1969]

Hi i have a question. Is synthetic hair was okay to put on me? Like i have synthetic hair tape extens. Can i washed it?

[@lynnwhitehead6439]

Thank you I am new to this I bought both 2 weeks ago and like both so far still learning so much info IT"S OVERWHELMING like you I'm lazy with my hair I'll put my hair in a ponytail/bun/pulled back with a clip in a heartbeat and I'm good I just want a wig I can slap on an go that's what I'm after The human hair one has bangs no problem it's truly a slap on and go the synthetic with baby hair just on the forehead area really thick (didn't notice when purchased) it's does it's own thing don't like that part and don't quite know how to style it yet I just brush in with hair doesn't look awful but need to explore what to do with it and I love my natural "baby hair" I don't like the forced look women are sporting (now some look natural and beautiful) because I love this wig and it's getting a lot of complements and questions not that I care what others think but it is nice to hear

[@andreacarrion6462]

I like human hair better

[@tonyaswigworld]

I’m a fan of synthetic pieces… love heat friendly over all!

[@itsmyhairiboughtit7704]

I love synthetic! I’m lazy and I like to have perfect looking hair so synthetic wins! Plus I can buy 8 to 10 pieces for same price of human so it’s win win!

[@kellyjacobs4114]

I prefer synthetic because some human hair is not ethically sourced ( easy to find info if interested) also synthetic styles last for multiple days once styled.

[@mjh1900]

Both. Just got my first real hair ever and honestly, I’m overwhelmed! It feels nice and moves nice but it’s a lot of steps to keep! Synthetic, put on. End of steps...

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

So true!

[@brendabaum6442]

I’m team synthetic! I don’t have to style the wigs. The style perks back up upon washing AND doesn’t frizz!

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

Young lady you're speaking abilities are always a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for helping the public with you tips 👍

[@AF-st4tv]

Synthetic! All the way. So sick of fading color and frizzier with human hair! And I wore human hair for 14 years so I know!

[@misterbombasticgralak]

What is the best thing about synthethic wig that u love and the worst thing for human hair?

[@erinlee2266]

This came at a perfect time for me! I've been considering purchasing my first HH piece and I've been trying to weigh the pros and cons. The maintenance and styling are scaring me off. I am a low maintenance girl and can't do styling to save my life! Thanks for putting your two cents out there.

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

It's an acquired skill, I think, so don't shy away from it. I think everyone should try it, truly. Also, I haven't forgotten just have been crazy job-wise and I have some travel coming up. Coffee soon! Hope this is the right Erin and you know what I am talking about, lol...

[@erinlee2266]

@@CornerOfHopeAndMane Yes, it's me, LOL. Sure, no problem.

[@txpatriotgirl]

When I started wearing wigs, I was investing human vs synthetic and read this in the description of a human hair with: "perfect for the lady who misses the experience of stying her own hair." 😳 I live in Texas, too, and spent most of my life on the gulf coast where we had flat or fizzy humidity hair but great skin. I never want to fight my hair ever again, so I knew I would never "miss the experience" of styling my hair. That is when I knew synthetic was for me. I now have great skin and good hair every day.

[@heywigsister]

LOVE THIS! I am soaking up all the advice as I am brand new to this world even though I have been losing my hair for about 20 years. I have purchased 1 decent synthetic topper which I love (and have ordered another 3, lol), and 3 SUPER CHEAP (less than 20 bucks) wigs that I think are only good for Halloween but maybe when I get really good that this I will learn how to fix them up and make them wearable. I am going to stick with Synthetic for awhile until I get really really great at wearing them and then maybe get a high quality custom Human Hair wig or topper for a special occasion.

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Love that you stocked up, haha!

[@kelly_villalobos]

Denise Sheets where did you buy your synthetic topper from? I have been looking for a while! 😖

[@heywigsister]

Yeah, lol. I guess I jumped in with both feet. I sure hope I like the other ones (I only got one of the same BelleTress, the other two are different)

[@heywigsister]

Kelly, the first one I bought was from WigStudio1, it is the BelleTress Top Wave 14", you can find it here: www.wigstudio1.com/collections/hd-toppers/products/lace-front-mono-top-wave-14-by-belletress . I have since bought another one of the same in a different color and 2 others I haven't received yet. I joined a community group at The Corner of Hope and Mane and they have a try on shop for members so I was able to try the BelleTress before I bought it (free to try on, just pay shipping). That was HUGE for me. I am brand new to all this, and have only been a topper owner and wearer for 1 week, lol. But I have been losing my hair for a long time so I am definitely ready. It's harder than I thought it would be, though.... but there is a huge community of people out there waiting to help. KZbin videos have been amazing... have you seen any by Amber at FabricatingFringe (search for that on KZbin), or Taz at Tazswigcloset? CysterWigs is also GREAT and super helpful (the other toppers I have purchased but haven't received were from CysterWigs and her sister site WigCloseOuts). Pattispearls is also another GREAT resource. Good luck! Denise

[@kelly_villalobos]

Denise Sheets hey girl thank you so much for replying! Yes actually I’m following Amber on Instagram and am subscribed to her on YT as well. She is great. I’m new to all this too and my hair is in the beginning stages of hair loss. I’m doing my research and figuring out options now because in a year or two I will most likely need helper hair. Or during menopause I’m a little worried for that I’m only 38 but I’ve heard stories of women losing so much hair in menopause. It’s a lot more complicated than I thought it would be and sometimes I get so hopeless. My budget is tight so I can’t spend hundreds on hair.

[@livefortheweekends9923]

Thanks ! For this video -I had waist length hair and started missing it so decided I would try extensions for length yesterday! My stylist wouldn’t stop commenting how much better and how much longer human lasts -but your references/facts are a great debate for it

[@littleredgoddesspersephone3982]

Human because I have dark purple hair and it's hard to find a good topper in my color with synthetic. I can always dye my topper to match my hair!

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

For sure!! Oooh, I bet the dark purple is so pretty!

[@cherylj7460]

I wear toppers and am happy with synthetic for all the reasons you mention- but mainly because I don’t have to style it. I have lately been looking at hh but am not very inspired to purchase. My concern is that I want to wear it straight, but I only get to see the photos of curled toppers. I’ve contacted a few companies about this. But it’s a lot of money to pay without not being able to really see what I’m getting- in it’s straight form.

[@lorilenocisheley8496]

Synthetic all the way!! I agree with all your reasons 100%. I used to wear human hair. I started buying synthetic out of necessity to save money. I was so sure that I was going to hate it lol. I love it! So much faster, easier, cheaper, better colors, etc. I love that I have so many different looks ready to go on any given day. I have so many pieces to choose from. My current collection would cost a fortune if they were human hair. I literally have enough hair to last me the next 10 years for under $1000. It's like a dream come true! Plus, I get way more compliments than I ever got with my human hair pieces 😊

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

It IS fun to switch it up - not that I do for my day-to-day personally, but it's nice to know I could.

[@kelly_villalobos]

Lori Sheley where do you buy your wigs from? Are they toppers or wigs?

[@traceygross3155]

Do u have suggestions on a company for a synthetic topper?

[@7mfpm]

Hi lori can I ask where do you buy the synthetic ones? thank you!

[@outlaw5742]

Synthetic all the way! My hair is naturally curly and I spent so much on curly human hair wigs and they didn’t at all look as natural on me as a synthetic straight wig. Something about synthetic hair didn’t look as fake. Human hair didn’t look cute on me at all. Also the glue and the freeze spray broke me out when I wore lace front human hair wigs. Synthetic is easier

[@GoMinivan]

I hope I will meet you one day and give you a hug. I cannot deal with my thinning hair anymore. But hair for women is so personal and so feminine, thank you for sharing and walking me through this process and making it normal.

[@Sssssssslf]

Odd comment 🤔

[@abinyxx]

I totally get it in terms of the humidity, sleekness, and styling, (also my synthetic wigs last wayyy longer). I'm just so afraid of the way it looks in sunlight, plasticy. Synthetic is better for me at night, human hair in the day.

[@LVGirl4]

Abi Nyxx That's a really good point about night & day. May be good to have both kinds for those reasons.

[@kellyjacobs4114]

If you wash it with baking soda ( check you tube ) or use dry shampoo it eliminates the unnatural shine

[@mt.shasta6097]

@@kellyjacobs4114 Yes, but do you know that most dry shampoos contain alcohol, which breaks down synthetic fibers? Worse, I wear lots of black for dress and formal occasions, and the dry shampoo falls on that black like snow.

[@SoftKitteh]

Just had a bad experience with a human hair wig, but all the synthetic hair I have is mostly just brilliant... and affordable! To get a decent quality human hair wig, you need to spend. And synthetics can be so silky and soft, you don't have to fork out for human hair for that. And I love playing with colours. I have blue wigs, rainbow wigs, pink wigs, purple wigs... love them for a bit of dazzle and fun! I also have hair my own colour and they're wonderful. I do have to say I prefer synthetic. Right now I'm adoring silver grey shades and have a few synthetics in that colour - some just straight, some with different coloured streaks added. And if you have a number of synthetic wigs for the price of one human hair wig, you have more possibilities. Besides, playing with wigs gives my natural hair a rest and, as you said, human hair is SO time consuming, wig or not! I always buy heat resistant synthetics so if I want to, I can change the style as I please. I've had wavy wigs which looked excellently better after a go with my straighteners - and vice versa. But synthetic wigs are just there for you, shove them on and go, don't waste your precious time styling when you don't have to - and for a really quick rush job, just put a headband around your lace front wig - et voila! Instant headband wig and you don't see any of your hairline - much better for putting up in a quick pony tail too. (And of course I always use a mister spray on my synthetic wigs before I use anything heated. Helps them last longer, besides, you'd never put a heated styler on your own natural hair for fear of damage, works for synthetics too, although all they need is a spray of water before you style.) Sorry for rambling, but this is my passion!

[@hannahthomas2938]

[@annmowatt7547]

New to this, thanks for the tips. You have made me rethink synthetic hair.

[@nootnewt3]

There’s pluses and minuses for both. I like human hair wigs because they’re more realistic looking and they last longer. I like synthetic ones because they’re easier to manipulate and they keep a style. I’ve spent a lot of money on both kinds of wigs, but if I had to choose i would pick Human.

[@annemariefisher1559]

I am a wig business owner. I started wearing wigs 20 years ago I was at necessity. I started out with synthetic. I did not like the shine that most of them have. Also I was with the long hair and I did not like after wearing them that they hear actually starts the part it looked wiggy to me. The short synthetic wigs from some of the companies I’ve dealt with were fairly nice they have gotten much nicer over the years. I wear Jon Renault wigs in the human hair. What I love about them is I get them in a beautiful brunette shade I lowlight them and then I highlight in the places that I want. I do have a awesome hairdresser who styles them. Nobody knows I even have a wig on , they are breathtaking. I see your reasoning behind hot weather but I have really not had any problem with my wigs even in the summer I wear them up also. I may try my hand at Racquel Welch rewind style wig I am liking to go maybe shorter. Thank you for your video you do a lovely job.

Just always ends up trash after about 10 wears. Also heat safe synthetic is always heat safe but I can never style synthetic. Its always just stuck exactly how it comes. Def checking out pros and cons video. Thanks

[@ferayaullathorne1203]

Synthetic. I bought a HH wig last year and it was so heavy weight wise and this may sound strange but touching some stranger's hair gave me the creeps. Needless to say, I never wore it!

My hair turns light during summer, and dark during winter. I personally haven't had any problems with it. The colour of my hair depends on whether I spend more time outside or inside, I always assumed it's the same with human hair wigs.

[@juliemann3243]

Human hair toppers, but willing to try synthetic--having a very hot summer & its too hot.

[@karens5156]

I have enough hair for toppers. I prefer toppers because they’re not as hot. I prefer human hair because with toppers you’re blending your own hair (I don’t have a lot at all & it’s super fine, but it still works, for now!) & it’s hard to blend synthetic with your own real hair...they don’t twist together & blend together very good. I do have synthetic wigs from when I first started my journey & they’re very nice ones, they’re just so hot & scratchy. My favorite wig I ever bought though is the wave cut by Hairdo.

[@Hitogata]

I got a tip for the human hair discoloration that happens after a while. Dye it! I recently dyed my 1 year old topper with a store brought kit and the colour + hydration made it look so much nicer, almost like new. I've only tried 1 synthetic topper, but it was very poofy in the back, so it looked fake and just not my style :( I wish I could find a synthetic topper that looks perfectly flat in the back. Any tips? Also, any tips about transitioning from a piece with fringe to one without a fringe without your co-workers figuring out that you wear fake hair? I'm having that dilema now...

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Yes! Adding color on top adds a bit of a coating and gets into the hair/cuticle (I might not be explaining this 100% scientifically correct) to fill it in and revives it a bit! Great tip. With toppers, many of them (esp the larger-sized ones) have permatease in them to help give shape. This can be tamed by aiming a blow dryer on low at the PT. Some Jon Renau has no PT and the BelleTress toppers I've tried don't, either.

[@alisonbarratt3772]

Try Godivas Secret wigs they have toppers

[@natashasobieski9893]

I switched from human hair to synthetic. My first wig was Veronica by Jon Renau, my second was Blake. Blake was just perfect, i payed for her a sh!t lot of money, she is full hand tide, 100% human, lace front, everything.. but gosh, how much i got fed up from styling… and she was getting ungly and frizzy and the lace get fried.. and i my soul was crying for the money i spend for her including the JN care products.. Thn i just needed new wig.. i didnt had tht much budget for new blake so I got Mirage by Ellen Wille.. ok, she was also like 500 euro, but.. I am amazed.. mirage is HD wig, when is getting frizzy i just straight her with flat iron and is like new again, no blow drying, simple styling, realistic hair density, when i want some curls, they stay until I straight the wig.. Iam working as a nurse, i have a lot of shits and when Iam free.. i just dont want to waste a time at washing and styling a wig.. now i got at clearance Columbia by Belle Tress for summer and yah, iam really amazed.. I dont think so, tht I will ever come back to human hair..

Hi Natasha, I see you are from Europe. Could you recommend an online shop you are satisfied with?

I am 49 years old and grew up much of my childhood in Dallas so I know the humidity. That being said, I started off with faux ponytails in Texas in my youth and yes I agree the synthetic are way friendlier as far as heat in Texas, humidity etc...I still to this day prefer the ponytail as seen in my little thumbnail from Forever young wigs. I think it's called eternally young? lol I should really know considering I've ordered the same one for YEARS now and Amazon even sells it in shade 4, my shade. I love sythetic front lace wigs due to the color options and being a lace front they are more realistic. I was just seriously considering spending a grand on a human one until being reminded of all the reasons I don't do human hair! Great video. Thank you. God bless

[@SuranYoo]

Mega Man hi Todd! My favorite brand I’ve seen in the market so far is Jon Renau. But the biggest problem I have with synthetic hair tbh is that none have a super realistic looking scalp (I.e. a silk top).

Human hair is the very best. I've bought some real cute synthetic wigs but they end up frizzing up & shedding. This doesn't ever happen with my Human hair wigs or toppers. They may cost more but they last so much longer it's well worth it. I don't have to purchase another one every 3 or 4 months. Synthetic has gotten very expensive lately, and then I've worn it one two or three times & it gets it starts looking frizzy. I like long hair, synthetic isn't bad for shorter hair.

How long would a synthetic hair last? How often are you finding your needing to purchase another one?

[@ashawright7955]

If maintained properly, a lot of people say it can last for about 4-7 months of consecutive wear. But luckily they're much cheaper than HH so if you were in a pinch with your synthetic wearing out, it won't take much of a toll on your bank account!

[@kellyjacobs4114]

I have had one for close to a year. (Not a cheap Amazon wig) Don’t over wash or over heat style them . Condition them periodically and they can last a long time. Also depends on wear. Do you wear the same one? Do you wear it all day every day? Longer wigs get worn quicker from brushing and rubbing against fabrics or collars.

I also have a Paula Young wig which I paid less then a 1/3 of the price of the Godiva Secrets wig. I am happy with both, I use them for different things. One for every day ,the other for good. Who has nice synthetic wigs for under $300.00? I would love a decent topper also. Got one from Paula Young, it was terrible. I should have had it cut or thinned maybe. Help!

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Many retailers will sell for 20-30% off, are you on their email lists? Also, Godiva Secret Wigs whitelabels many (all) of their pieces...so you can find them for much less. My favorite synthetic wig brand overall is Jon Renau, simply because they make many wigs in the same color as my topper from them and I can interchange them!

@@leila_de_hautjardin no its not unethical... lot of people donate willingly and for others you are HELPING THEM in exchange of just their hair! not their blood or kidneys! When ppl can sell their blood! and that's totally ethical, how is hair unethical?

Human hair only contains DNA if the root is attached, witch human hair wigs do not.

[@gracestokes3288]

My hair is thinning rapidly and I desperately need a wig or full topper. My biggest problem in finding the right topper or wig is color - I like you, prefer a nice medium dark brown but very ashy . So I bought my first topper from a local wig shop and ordered a human hair medium dark ash brown. It is not what I consider ash - has a definite golden hue. I hate it. It was expensive and I can't wear it and feel good about it. Even after several attempts to professionally color no one can get rid of the gold/red hue. With the popularity of ashy browns, I can't understand why so many Wig companies offer tons of warm browns but almost no ash colored browns and if they do they are usually one flat boring shiny color which scream WIG. Can you point any of us gals that prefer a true ash brown to a company that sells that ashy color range, preferably with some subtle ashy highlighting to look natural or what type of human hair wigs will actually take color and highlighting well - clearly the one I purchased did not? PS. you look fantastic in the ash brown!

[@nacoleanderson]

Have you tried Jon Renaus top style in human hair? I wear the synthetic version, but have really wanted to try it in human hair. I just want to be able to curl my hair.

[@vwzen81]

Synthetic all the way, I love it so much. I can throw my hair on, run a comb threw it and be done with my hair in under 5 minutes. Plus, it looks so real that I get compliments on my hair weekly and people asking me where I get my hair done.

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Gotta love the speed factor!

How would synthetic fare when used with a flat top style?

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

I'd imagine it would be fine!

[@thehollyannrose]

I used to be anti synthetic until I actually tried a high quality one. Never looking back. The main thing I dislike about real human hair is I never truly know the original texture of the hair, even if the wig seller knows who’s head it came from! and as someone that has always never did their hair, it’s annoying having to basically learn how to do hair lol

[@emdsme1]

GURL you know I’m lazy and I love my synthetic. Hah! So glad the human hair crisis is over by getting a decent synthetic option!

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

GURL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS. P.S. Just got back from Rosa's.

[@kikeninikisses7061]

I'm a synthetic hair fan because firstly I know that it doesn't come from people selling their hair in desperation, I saw this video in refinery which was just so heartbreaking to see all those woman love their hair but have to cut it because of fininacial needs so I know I won't be paying for someone else's pain. Secondly, the hair on the bottom of my head can go frizzy so it's nice that no matter what weather the synthetic hair can help hide that. Thirdly, I have never had issues with colour matching with synthetic hair. Fourth, they're just so much easier on my pocket, I can't get so much synthetic hair and I know it doesn't last as long as human hair but I swear it still works out cheaper.

[@btsarmyforever3816]

In many cultures, where I come from as well, It's incredibly bad luck to wear someone else's hair as an extension. Cause they would have sold it due to a number of reasons like serious illness (like cancer), lost love, someone died, poverty as you stated, hair from the floor of salons etc. No matter how much it is washed and treated, that bad energy is not leaving. In India, we have weddings where hair extensions are unavoidable for hairstyles and 80% of us request synthetic hair, especially religious people. Wearing someone else's hair, even an animal's, seems icky to me. Like do you know the story behind that hair? Some people cut and gather their own hair over the years and then fashion it into extensions. That's also icky. Some people say "But you help them by buying it" You are paying to get bad luck is more like it. Hair and fingernails are also used in black magic in so many cultures. It's scary. Always go for synthetic.

[@kikeninikisses7061]

That is so interesting I never thought of it as bad luck but that makes so much sense 😊 yeah definitely synthetic definitely the way to go in my opinion

[@sukhmanicambridge]

Doesn't synthetic hair look awful in the sunshine?

[@elanagerson878]

What is the piece you have on in the clipped-up style? The part looks so realistic! As to your question- I don't know yet. Very new to all this. So far, I've just got one synthetic wig, which I adore- but I do wish that it FELT more like hh. Any ideas on which synthetics feel softest? Thanks for the great video- really appreciate you not padding it and getting right to the info!

[@valendiakn]

Love your video! I do agree with everything you said; however, and despite not having hair since I was 4yo, so I basically know nothing about styling hair (my first wigs were synthethic) I prefere human hair over synthetic any time, I just could not deal with freezy fibers, I hate them, I need hair I can wear everyday and that it is long lasting, synthetics were not.

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

They do frizz over time, yep! A hot air brush really helps to revive them, if you ever try them out again. :)

[@madman5710]

What’s the point of synthetic hair if it doesn’t smell like hair

[@anniehall5355]

Totally disagree, but this is a great video with great points. My one experience with synthetic hair was that it became soooooo easily knotted and it felt so scratchy on my skin. It wasn’t a cheap piece either so I’m not sure if that’s normal or what.

[@rachelroberts2794]

How do you handle fraying of synthetic hair? I'm new to this space and my first topper is syntheitc HF, I've worn it a few more times, and the ends are already fraying...

[@natashasobieski9893]

If is it heat friendly, just grab ur hairstraightner, set it on low heat, spray the fiber with wather and run over it with hair comb and hairstraightner together, it will do the job

[@tinaallen8186]

Synthetics are awesome but I prefer human mixed wigs

[@michellem9669]

Just found your channel,and im interested in the norriko milan mono topper so my question is can it be heat styled?

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

The Noriko Milan is not HD-fiber (heat-defiant), so you technically should not use heat tools on it. You can add some texture with steaming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5DKfYt-g9FnmLc

[@living4him319]

I have the HR easi part and just can’t get used to it. Tried cutting it and washed it but ends are ratty and it just doesn’t look good. Is it just me but I find that it doesn’t fall as naturally as human hair. How do I get it to look good again?? Help!

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

So you said "HR" - did you mean JR for Jon Renau or HD for heat defiant? My advice will vary depending on what you actually have. :)

[@living4him319]

CornerOfHopeAndMane sorry. Yes heat defiant!

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

Are you using heat on it? HD requires a little abuse, and behaves much better if you are using some heat tools. See if this vid helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mISpm3t7ptiEoKM

[@gardengirl7446]

HD hair is NOT low maintenance. The trick is to buy multiple units of the same style and colour. Buy a style that is a little longer which allows you to trim it when it frizzes. I wear my wig for 2 days straight. I glue the front with got2b gel to secure it. This lasts 2 days so i even sleep in the wig. When the glue gives out i remove and wash the wig using axe body wash (i like the smell) and condition with fabric softener. Spray wet wig with detangler and brush it out (yes brush!) Scrunch the curl back in and hang to dry. I have a 2nd wig same colour/length/style to wear while washed wig dries. Every week or so you have to TRIM the frizzy ends. This is about 1/2 inch that gets cut. I wear in an updo when it gets noticeably shorter. Every time i put on a fresh washed wig i apply HEAT from curling iron/straightener and restyle the wig. I enjoy this very much because i get to play with the kind of beautiful hair I've never had naturally :) if i didnt have time i would just brush it out and put it in 1/2 updo. Hope this helps you!!

[@living4him319]

Garden Girl thanks for the info. I bought the special shampoo and heat spray since I was terrified of ruining my hairpiece. Don’t know what I did wrong but the piece looks worse than before I washed it. The ends don’t ‘hang’ naturally. Doesn’t help that my own hair is so superfine it seems to naturally separate from synthetic. Color match is spot on though!! I will press on!! 😉

[@TheCissero]

[@MrsPaulaTorres]

Is synthetic hair good in tape ins? What brand on Amazon can you suggest?

[@DrakulitaVampirenish]

I love human hair. I get silk tops with lace front kind, so the look is very natural. I find that every wig needs customization. They are usually too full for my tiny head, so I take out a lot of hair from the hairline to make it more believable. I enjoy the feel of human hair and the fact that it’s not shiny. It’s true, they do need some styling time, but I don’t do too much to mine, aside from curling bangs to the side and I wear at least 16 inch hair. I would like to try synthetic hair like Jon renau, but I’m a little scared about the upkeep. I had synthetic hair extensions years ago and they required a lot of washing in fabric softener and straightening to look and feel nice.

[@CornerOfHopeAndMane]

You might give it a whirl again, but ditch the fabric softener. It tends to leave a buildup which worsens the pieces over time. So glad you are enjoying your human hair!!

[@GiovanaSimmer]

I guess if you can afford quality synthetic hair, it's a fun alternative, but not as much for someone who cannot spend more than $150-$200 every 6 months in hair. I mean, even for someone with alopecia, like us, hair is superfluous compared to a roof over our heads and food on the table. In these cases (and it's my case), a decent human hair wig that is well taken care of might last for those whole 6 months, while allowing for styling and color changes with no need to invest much more $ into it.
