Typically, wigs are classified as either synthetic or human hair. Modern synthetic wigs are expertly crafted and closely resemble natural hair. When hair loss is due to medical treatments such as chemotherapy, most people opt for a standard synthetic wig, which is pre-made and ready for delivery. The selection is vast, offering a variety of colors and styles.
The advantage of synthetic wigs is that they are easy to maintain and require minimal care, whereas human hair wigs need more attention and styling to keep them looking their best. Chemotherapy patients may receive financial assistance from the hospital to cover the cost of a wig, which typically covers the full expense.
The downside of synthetic wigs is that the fibers cannot withstand heat. It's important to avoid heat sources such as ovens, hairdryers, and styling irons, as these can cause the fibers to melt.
There is a growing demand for human hair wigs, as they offer greater flexibility for styling. Human hair can withstand heat, allowing the use of hairdryers, flat irons, curling irons, and styling products. Human hair wigs are typically made from Asian hair, which is bleached and dyed. The chemical treatments involved mean that human hair wigs require more care and styling.
