Wigs are the artificial covering of the hair. They are worn on the head for different artistic or stylistic purposes. They come in all attractive colors and sizes. They can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the type of wig the customer wants. The common materials used to make them are human hair, horse hair, wool, feathers, buffalo hair and different synthetic materials. The best wig is said to be made from the hair of a yak. This is because yak hair has close regularity and resembles human hair and they are relatively inexpensive.
As the materials used to make wigs are varied, so are their types. Standard cap wigs are the most basic and affordable type on the market. The hair is preset styled on this wig. The monofilament wig has a mesh on the crown made of materials such as nylon. This mesh resembles the wearer’s skin and has a more natural appearance. The hair in this product can be styled in any formation. Capless wigs, as the name suggests, do not have a cap, but instead have vertical strips of lace that fit the hair. Human hair wigs are made from the hair of people with different ethnic backgrounds so almost everyone can find one to suit them. These types are relatively expensive. Other types include synthetic, lace, and vacuum wigs. Of all the wigs discussed here, vacuum wigs are the most expensive as they are tailor-made for each client.
Wigs were first used by royalty who adopted them as a style accessory with Queen Elizabeth’s famous red wig. Wigs were then thought of as an important element in men’s attractiveness. Wigs in these times were accompanied by prestige. Later, wigs became the signature style of lawyers, judges, and politicians. Today, wigs are also used for other purposes besides styling. These include hiding baldness for both men and women. Men have a natural tendency to go bald as they age and women can become bald when undergoing the chemotherapy procedure. There are other reasons for baldness too, but no matter what the reason is, wigs are there to make life easier for these people.
