Two of the most popular hair systems for women are wigs and hair extensions. Both are regularly worn by celebrities and actresses which has only made it more common and acceptable for the everyday woman to start wearing them — and that includes moms!
Each of them have their own benefits and advantages. However, this blog post will look at why wigs, in particular, are better than hair extensions and why you should consider purchasing them.
Wigs give you a full head of hair
The major benefit of wearing a wig is having a full head of hair again. If you purchase 100% human hair wigs for women, you will have an extremely realistic and natural look with beautiful hair on your scalp, especially with hd lace front wigs or full lace wigs. This is particularly ideal for women who are undergoing chemotherapy or are suffering from autoimmune conditions such as alopecia totalis which results in complete hair loss. Hair extensions, meanwhile, are only meant to complement your existing hair.
Protect your natural hair
You may have noticed some women wearing or storing wigs in their home despite having a perfect head of healthy hair with zero hair loss. Why is this the case? Quite simply put, it’s for protection. Many women opt to wear wigs so their natural hair is protected from various things such as cold or dry hair, the sun or chemical processes such as dyeing or bleaching their hair. This leads to our next point. With hair extensions, there is a risk of your natural hair being affected if it is not installed correctly or is too tight.
Try out more hairstyles and colors
With a women’s wig, you can try out a whole bunch of hairstyles and colors you never could before. Wanted to see how you look with highlights? Or maybe you wanted to make the switch from brown hair to a full blonde? But perhaps you didn’t want to risk bleaching or dyeing your hair? Or maybe you didn’t want to strain your hair and risk hair shedding with an ambitious look or with tightly-installed hair extensions? Again, wigs come to the rescue by allowing you to completely experiment with your hair without affecting your actual hair.
Easier to install and apply
Although there are a few highlights hair extensions types like clip-in hair extensions and halo hair extensions that can easily be installed, most other extensions require a professional or salon which can also be pretty expensive. This problem is not there with wigs as they can easily be attached by the wearer themselves with clips. Alternatively, wig tape or wig glue can be used which is still a far easier and shorter process than i-tip hair extensions or u-tip hair extensions for example.
Reinstallation process is more convenient and cheaper
While hair extensions can last a while and can be reused, they need to be reinstalled every few weeks or months as they are attached to your natural hair. As a result, when your hair grows, the extensions will be out of place and need to be reinstalled. This also means your wallet gets lighter for each reinstallation. Of course, wigs are not recommended to be slept with and will technically have to be reinstalled every morning. But going back to the previous point, it can be done by yourself and given that a good quality human hair wig can last as long as two years if maintained well, you are saving plenty in the process.
