Why and how? Maybe this blog will help you, so be ready to learn it.

Cheap Wig- The Definition

It is cheap. People say cheap in terms of price. But the cheap wig is also lower not only in price but in quality, construction, look, and feel.

What Makes Cheap Wigs Less Expensive?

Well, when you are buying it for the first time, usually this question might be very obvious to you: what makes your wig less expensive, whereas the high-quality works might come out of fancy? Well, there are various reasons for it. However, some of the majors are listed below:

Hair Quality

When you are buying a cheap wig, it is usually made of synthetic or nylon fibres that are too plastic to look at. They are made from the same quality from which your hairbrush and even your brooms are made. So, just imagine having those bristles in a longer form on your head, and that is the hair quality of your cheap wig. Even if you are buying a cheap human hair wig, it could be non-Remy hair that is so from multiple donors. Some hair is straight, some curly, some wavy, and even if they are chemically processed into one texture. There’s gone through so much of chemical treatments that their look, beauty and quality are almost managed.

Construction Quality

When we are talking about cheap wigs, we have to take into consideration that the labour and machine used on these cheap wigs will be much less than those of premium hair wigs. Either through bonded labour, they are hand-tied, which might lose its grip after a while. Or through the Industrial machines that do not precisely take care of the curves and the finishes of the wig. So when you wear it, it looks very standard and even looks like placing the hairy hat on your head because it does not fit you well.

Base Quality

Wigs are usually on the base. Generally good quality hair wigs are made of premium HD lace base, Swiss lace or thin mesh base. But maybe the base quality of your cheap wig is made of a thick base, which makes it very difficult for your scalp to breathe. Even the hair sprouting from this wig may look so artificial that people, even from a distance, can detect what you are wearing. And if you’re wearing it for a long time, maybe it could be a chance that you might face irritation leading to skin rashes or fungal diseases because your base is not allowing enough ventilation.

Less Shelf Life

Cheap wigs are made from very low-quality hair, and that is why it has very little shelf life. Because they are made of synthetic, it’s very easy to get tangled, frizzy, dusty and rusty.

So, buying cheap wigs again and again will definitely hurt your pocket.

Careful Upkeep

If you are, you have to be very gentle with the temperature and then dry it. The chances are there once your synthetic wig has undergone water, it may start losing out hair from the weft and get more tangled, and if it is a color synthetic wig, even the color starts to come out. You have to be very careful about the same. And you might have to use very high-quality hair care products on it, which adds to the cost.

Limited Styling

Synthetic wigs, as told, are made of synthetic fibre. So if you are using any heat styling on them, the fibers will actually melt into your heating tool and will just destroy your wig. So it automatically makes your styling very limited. So, definitely, you cannot play with the texture over here. But apart from that, certain parts of hairstyling could be very tricky for you. So you can afford one hairstyle at a time. Especially the hair set in which it has already come to you. So, for different hairstyles, go for another different cheap hair wig. Another purchase!
