Synthetic Hair
-
Synthetic hair is used for fashion wigs that are for occasional or temporary wear. The strands are made of a heavy grade nylon, which cannot be heat styled or altered with regular hair products. Synthetic hair wigs come as-is in style and color, though a large range of looks are available.
Protein-Based Synthetics
-
Designer synthetic wigs, such as wigs by Henry Margu, are often made with a protein-based synthetic that allows for use of heat styling tools at low temperatures, however they cannot be chemically treated. Many protein-based synthetics offer a more natural look than cheaper synthetic wigs, and tend to allow for longer wear.

Asian and European Hair

Human hair wigs are created from a variety of sources, most commonly Asian and Eastern European countries. Many come pre-styled, though some chemical customization is possible, and heating tools can be used. Many human hair wigs are good for temporary or occasional use, as they are often non-remy.
Remy Human Hair
-
The term "Remy" refers to the cuticle alignment of the hair shafts, signifying hair that falls in the same direction to avoid tangles. All types of human hair can be used to create a Remy human hair wig, including Asian, European and Indian hair. Remy human hair wigs can last up to a year with everyday usage, as the hair is aligned in the same way that hair grows from the head.
Indian Hair
-
Indian hair wigs come in both virgin and pre-styled options. Virgin Indian hair comes in several natural textures, though the wigs can be customized to suit your needs. Virgin Indian hair is considered throughout the industry to be of the highest quality, and an Indian hair wig can last longer than a year with everyday wear.
