It’s truly insane, yet understandable, how much a balding head can affect one’s self-esteem, confidence, and personality. With a changing environment and an evolved diet, people –especially men- suffer in increased numbers from hair loss and thinning. To combat these issues, people resort to the solace that hair replacement systems provide. However, choosing a hair system that suits best your lifestyle and person can be quite tough. Making things slightly easier for you, we are laying out the pros and cons of both, synthetic and human hair. Read through and figure out what works best for you!

Synthetic Hair:

Synthetic hair is hair that is made up of thoroughly processed plastic but attempts to fully replicate the feel and texture of natural human hair. Available in myriad forms, synthetic hair promise a lot of options and styles.

Pros:

Light on the pocket:
For a solution that is, in essence, temporary, it only makes sense to go for an option economically unburdening. Synthetic wigs and hair systems tend to be much cheaper than real human hair because of lower manufacturing costs.

A variety of styling possibilities
Plastic is infamous for its malleability potential which is utilized to the fullest when styling synthetic wigs and hair systems. Not only can you find any style you desire amongst synthetic hair products, but you can also get custom-made items too.

The Synthetic Memory Magic
Plastic has a memory that aids in the restoration of its original size and shape when perturbed. Similarly, if your synthetic hair system or wig is ever met with the wrath of nature, your wig will not be permanently damaged.

Cons:

A bit too temporary
Even with the most diligent care, your synthetic wig will not last more than a maximum of three months. This is fine if you did not want something long-lasting anyway. However, if your expectations were higher, then maybe go for other, better alternatives.

No heating devices permitted
Heat is plastic’s long-standing enemy. Thus, you can say goodbye to your curling irons and straighteners with a synthetic hair product atop your head. Also, the scorching heat can too damage your synthetic wig or hair replacement system.

Human Hair:

Made up of real human hair, human hair wigs and hair replacement systems promise a completely natural finish for your head. Feeling almost completely real, human hair is a popular alternative amongst people wanting a longer-lasting hair fix.

Pros:

New color, new me
Like your normal human hair, real human hair wigs can also be color-treated. Bored with the color you bought and don’t want to dent your finances further by buying another one? Color treat the one you have!

Longer lasting
With excellent maintenance, human hair wigs and replacement systems can last as long as a year- talk about getting your money’s worth! With higher quality and also available in longer lengths, human hair wigs are a class apart.

Straighten or curl? Do whatever!
It’s actual human hair- you can do whatever you want! Treat it just how you would treat your real hair and go ahead with the straightening and curling. Of course, as you would with your real hair, be careful and don’t damage the wig beyond repair.

Cons:

Bankruptcy
Of course, that’s an exaggeration but, close enough. Human hair is quite expensive. Because of the major pros that a human hair wig comes with, the budget needs to be just as large. Human hair products are no different from a long-term, very pricey investment

Hail and rain- No protection!
Synthetic hair has a memory- they revert back to their original shape when met with water or extreme nature. Compared with this, natural hair, very much like your own real hair, is susceptible to the supreme forces of nature and can be damaged or affected as your real hair would.

Conclusion:
Your hair is an important part of your overall look. Your hair completes you and if you yourself are not comfortable with such an integral part of your body, then life can be sorrow and a bore. In order to live life and every day to the fullest, have a head that makes you feel happy and nice in your own skin. Make wise decisions and never be afraid to experiment!
