In case of hair loss, a man always has the opportunity to refer to the procedure for their transplantation. However, such a decision makes a good investment. In addition, a hair transplant does not guarantee a 100% result in case of progressive baldness.
The best option for those who do not want to put up with a balding crown - men's wigs. Oddly enough, the bulk of representatives of the stronger sex in Western countries who encounter this problem resort to this method. Let's figure out what to look for when choosing a male wig.
Quality
When choosing a wig, priority should be given to the quality of the hair. The natural appearance of the product is the fundamental moment that will make its operation invisible to others.
By purchasing a man’s wig made of low-quality chemical components or second-rate natural hair, the owner gets an extremely ridiculous appearance. As practice shows, cheap products lose their original shape during the first months of regular operation. Hair becomes sparse and tow-like.
Cheap men's wigs are covered with special chemical compounds that initially give them an attractive shape. However, it is worth washing the product several times, as there is no trace of the original chic. The raw materials for the manufacture are spoiled, dyed, and other illiquid hair. And if earlier the latter went to the scrap, today chemical processing technology allows for a while to restore their lives.
Synthetic Hair Wigs
Wigs are made using nylon, acrylic and vinyl threads. An alternative is the use of yak hair. However, the latter do not support the form well enough, are characterized by low tensile strength, and have a repulsive odor.
High-quality wigs are made from synthetic fibers with the addition of threads synthesized from seaweed called "Kanekalon". Currently, the material is in great demand for hair extensions.
Advantages of wigs:
- relatively low cost;
- lack of need for styling, careful care of the product;
- artificial hair does not lose shape when weather conditions change, do not fade in the sun;
- synthetic hair has hypoallergenic properties and is light in weight.
As for the shortcomings of artificial men's wigs, such products are relatively short-lived, unstable to high temperatures.
Natural Men's Wigs
For the manufacture of natural wigs, healthy, unpainted hair taken from donors is used. Today on the market there are so-called European, Indian and Asian types of products. The former are distinguished by grace and simplicity of laying, however, they have a rather high price. For the manufacture of Indian wigs, fairly dry hair is used, which has a relatively "inanimate" look. Asian wigs are smooth, shiny, but at the same time quite naughty in terms of styling.
A man’s wig made of natural hair has the following advantages:
- Durability - a high-quality European-style hair product is able to serve the owner for a decade.
- Possibility of coloring, haircuts and perm.
- For the care of a wig, the same products are suitable as for your own, natural hair.
A comparative disadvantage here is the high price. In addition, most natural wigs require careful care, and with increasing humidity, the hairstyle can quickly lose shape.
Wig Care Tips
In order for a male wig to last for the longest possible time, it is necessary to follow the generally accepted rules for caring for such products. Wigs are washed exclusively in cold water. It is allowed to dry with a hairdryer under a stream of air of insignificant temperature.
After use, the wig is put on a special blank. As a stand, an ordinary glass jar is often used. To keep the artificial hair attractive, they are cleaned, gently combed and styled. For a male wig to last longer, you should avoid straightening the strands and dyeing them.
An experienced stylist will help you choose wig care products. However, it is better to immediately get special balms and shampoos when buying a wig.
Finally
Men who do not have an impressive budget for buying a wig should start getting acquainted with such products using a high-quality artificial model. At a lower cost, you can get a product that has a completely natural look. The option of buying a natural wig is suitable for men, who have enough energy and time for daily, thorough care.
