Hair Is The Crown You Never Take Off

Human hair wigs & Toppers are the most beautiful, most natural looking and most durable pieces to have and are available in various colors.  In the long run, they are worth the investment.

With proper maintenance a high quality human hair wig can last a long time. Life span will depend on the daily wear & tear and on how someone cares and takes care of their hair system. 

Improper usage of hot tools such as straighteners and curlers can damage the hair if too much heat is used.  It is recommended to use heat protectants when curling or straightening the hair.

When we consider cost of Human hair wigs or toppers,  there are a few factors that will determine the cost.

1. Ethnic origin of the hair 
2. Quality of Hair (Remy vs Non Remy, grade etc)
3. Virgin Hair or Treated Hair (whether it has been colored or permed previously)

1. ETHNIC ORIGIN

European Human Hair Wigs

The most expensive human hair wigs are those made of European human hair.  Among which the Virgin European hair is the most expensive. 

Virgin Human Hair have not been chemically altered, i.e processed or colored. They are the top of the line hair due to their natural looking colors and various shades. 

European hair is soft & silky but it is also more sensitive to coloring and chemical treatments.

Asian & Indian Hair

Most of the commercially used human hair for wigs and toppers are from these two regions.

Since these hair types tend to be black or darkest brown, they must be processed and treated to achieve lighter colors.

         * Indian Hair 

The hair is finer than the Chinese hair and has a natural curl at the end

         * Asian Hair 

They are naturally straight, fibre much stronger, thicker denier, best hair to use for Blonde and Red hair colors.

2, QUALITY OF HAIR

Quality of hair will depend on the grade, elasticity, porosity, hair type, Remy vs Non-Remy

Please Note: Remy human hair wig - ‘remy’ only applies to the way the hair is gathered and processed and not at the grade or the origin of the hair.

When you hear the term in-tact cuticle, it means the hairs have been arranged so that the root ends are all going in the same direction while gathering and processing the hair.  This process prevents tangling and makes the wig more durable and easier to style as well as will keep its shine and a natural look and feel.

That is why these type of wigs are the very best quality as well as more costly.  Purchasing your human hair wig from reputable sellers will ensure that the hair is top quality.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

Your new luxurious wig does not get any sebum or natural oils from your scalp so if not properly cared for it can dry out.  It is important to use natural oil such as Jojoba, Argan Oil, Macedonia oil, etc. to help keep the hair looking soft and shiny. 

You can apply oil on the hair before washing it.  Just comb it through the hair and let it sit for 30 minutes.  Once you washed and conditioned the hair, you should use oils as leave-in conditioner as well as daily mist to keep the hair hydrated.

Remember to use products designed for Alternative Human Hair.

When deciding to purchase human hair system, it is important to understand what it will take to keep your hair lasting long and looking healthy.

Just like your own hair,  the hair on the system will need to be treated (taken care of) but different than your natural hair would.  

In fact, to a certain degree more care is needed when dealing with alternative hair wigs or systems.

You have to keep in mind that your new hairdo will not get nutrition from your scalp, therefore, it needs to receive the oils to keep it soft and smooth and keeping it from drying out.  

A dry hair will look dull and brittle and will easily break.

All human hair systems require the same three things as your natural hair would and that is the following: 

• moisture - in order to keep the elasticity of the hair and to prevent brittle hair that would easily break. (for elasticity to prevent brittle hair that breaks)
• lubrication (for keeping the hair soft, supple and smooth)
• protein (for strengthening and repairing hair)

Here are a few of the PLANT based Oils that are great for Human hair wigs and systems as well as your own hair.

• Almond - An oil that is high in Vitamin E (sweet almond oil is high in vitamin E)
• Argan oil - it is best when used in a pure form
• Avocado Oil, castor oil
• Coconut oil (great for skin as well), olive oil,
• Shea - in the most natural form
• Jojoba  is great as well as it is like the natural sebum that is found on the scalp.

Although all of the oils listed above are absorbed by the hair, the coconut oil is the best for penetrating the hair cuticle.
