Wig Fibers & Caps
Top-Quality Choices in Wig Fibers and Caps
At Beautiful Wigs, you can choose from wigs made of human hair, synthetics, and mixed materials. Whatever you select, we guarantee your satisfaction or you'll get your money back or an exchange.
Nothing's More Natural Than Human Hair
A wig made of human hair reacts just as your own hair does to humidity and other environmental conditions. Like your own hair, it will require daily styling and regular maintenance.
Synthetics Offer Instant Convenience
Unlike human hair wigs, synthetic models weigh less and are pre-styled, so you can choose a wig and wear it the same day you buy it. They also do not lose shape the way wigs made of human hair do.
- Less care
- Less expense
- Look and feel like human hair
- Every style, length, color, and color blend available
Synthetic wigs vary in quality and that difference is usually reflected in the price.
Synthetic Wigs Offer Easy Maintenance
We carry name-brand wigs that won't kink, knot, shed, or look worn after a few weeks. You'll be taught proper wig care so you can get the most out of your purchase and wear it for months.
Synthetic wigs are manufactured for a specific style, but most can be minimally trimmed. However, you'll need an experienced and licensed wig stylist to trim and cut your wig.
When choosing a wig, remember that color matching can be tricky. Feel free to go outside the shop and check the color in natural sunlight.
Beware of Extreme Heat With Your Synthetic Wig
One shortcoming of synthetic wigs is their sensitivity to high heat. Take care to avoid heat while cooking, including the blast of heat from opening an oven door or the heat from a dishwasher dry cycle, steam from boiling water, and stir frying.
Also, be careful to not let a cigarette or candle get too close to your wig.
Wig Caps Open Up Many Alternatives
- U-shaped: A wig with an opening so you can pull your natural hair through and blend it in with the wig fibers. This works best when your natural hair and the wig fibers match.
- Full lace: A wig that offers the most flexibility and can even be worn in a high ponytail! Individual strands are pulled through the stretch cap to create the illusion of hair coming from the scalp. It must be applied with an adhesive-like tape or bonding glue.
- Lace front: A full wig with a lace mesh attached in front of the hairline for custom fitting and styling.
- Closure: Not a wig but an attachment used to close a weave without the use of natural hair.
- Silk top: A silk top wig offers the most natural-looking scalp. Most high-end wigs are silk tops with knots hidden under a second piece of flesh-tone material. You cannot wear this in a high ponytail or off the face without professional detailing.
- Half wig: Adds fullness, length, and body to the bottom half of your hair.
- Mono-filament wig: Made with a sheer, gauze-like cap, these wigs allow the color of your scalp to show through. These are great for patients with hair loss because the hairs are hand tied to the fabric and will not irritate the scalp. Some wigs are made with only a strip of mono-filament fabric beneath the hair's part, providing a mono look for a fraction of the price.
