I want to purchase a Human Hair wig. Is all Human Hair the same?
There are generally four basic types of human hair used in wigs: Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, and European/Caucasian. The majority of wigs are made from Asian Hair. It has a thicker denier (unit of fineness) which results in the hair being extremely straight. It is a bit more resistant to curl and can therefore be harder to style. Indonesian hair is found in greater supply and is less costly— it can often be found in ethnic style wigs. Indian hair has thinner denier close to that of European hair but with a bit more texture. European hair is the most sought after for its fine denier.
The origin of the hair is not the only factor. The chemicals needed, to sanitize and strip away the original color to produce different curl patterns and colors, are very strong and can affect the integrity of the hair depending on the method used. When a higher quality of chemicals and a more artful approach to processing is used you get a softer, tangle free, natural hair.
Human Hair is by far the superior choice of quality is the most important factor. It does come with a larger price tag, but most people find the quality and versatility is worth it.
