Natural hair wigs: features, types and care rules

It's hard to keep up with modern fashions without resorting to some tricks. For example, it is impossible to change the haircut and hair color very often, as it is quite harmful even with high-quality paint. And therefore a wig will help to change the image. Nowadays, beauty departments offer a variety of synthetic and natural hair wigs, and of course the second option has many more benefits.

The main advantage of a women's natural hair wig is its natural appearance. None of the people around will be able to distinguish a wig from real hair - they are so "alive". Another advantage is ease of care, unlike synthetics, natural hairs are not subject to wear as a result of changes in temperature or friction.

Real strands are easy to style, they remain the same natural after drying with a hairdryer, stretching with an iron, curling with a curling iron. On artificial hair, this effect is practically impossible; the product can usually only be worn as it is sold.

The real hair for making wigs comes from India. Local women skillfully take care of their hair and hand it over to the factory. This earnings is considered honorable. In production, natural raw materials are discolored, repainted, and wigs are made. In addition, hair from women of the Slavic type is very highly valued, their curls are soft and thin, but they are even more expensive. This variety is considered elite.

Real hair wigs can be classified according to the type of skeleton. This is the name of the base to which the hairs are attached.

• Mesh frame. The most expensive option, as it is done manually. It is a mesh base to which each hair is manually attached. This creates a feeling of lightness, softness, it seems to others that the hair is growing from the scalp, the change is completely invisible due to the even distribution of the hairs. The mesh reveals the real scalp. In such a design, it is not hot, it is easy to put on and is firmly attached.

• Frame on tress. This is the name of the fabric section on which the hair is sewn, then the fabric strips are sewn together, and a wig is obtained. The head shape is created by attaching wefts to lace ribbons. There are two types of wigs on a tress frame: a wig that lends itself easily to any type of styling, as well as a wig with a ready-made device and an insert to match the skin color. (in this case, the hair can only be styled in accordance with the parting).
• Tress frame with mesh top. In this case, the mesh cover is designed to mimic the scalp; this design can sometimes be called a "monogrid". In the manufacture, both manual work and machine technology are used, therefore this variety takes an intermediate place in the price category. Due to the ability to rearrange the hair in different ways in place of the mesh, this option looks more natural than a wig made entirely on tress, moreover, the mesh with imitation of leather adheres more tightly to the head.
