Synthetic vs. Human Hair Wigs: Which Looks More Real?

High-quality versions of both can look convincing, but human hair offers the most natural movement and flexibility.

Human hair can usually be washed, heat-styled and coloured more like your own hair. It costs more and needs regular styling. Modern heat-friendly synthetic fibres keep their shape, cost less and can be an excellent low-maintenance choice.

For realism, examine fibre shine, density, lace and construction—not only the material label.

• Choose human hair for versatility
• Choose synthetic for easy style memory
• Follow the maker's heat limits
