What does human hair wig look like?

I. Types of wigs

There are many types of wigs, which are categorized into hair blocks, headgear, hair curtains and so on.

1. Hair block

Hair block (toupee), is the most common type of wig, can cover part of the hair, mainly for bald patients, can be customized according to the design of each person's different bald position.

2. Wig

Hair cover (wig), commonly known as head cover, big head, it can wrap the whole head all up, women's head cover is more common, can be used for aesthetic purposes, of course, also suitable for bald patients due to baldness or chemotherapy caused by bald patients to use.

3. Hair Curtain

Hair curtains, bangs belong to the more common hair curtains. Hair curtains are smaller in size and are basically suitable for people with a high forehead hairline, as well as for women's aesthetic appearance.

These three types of wigs have different characteristics, with hair curtains being the least material-intensive and easiest to make, but can look very fake and unnatural, while head coverings are the most natural, but they are also more tedious to make than hair blocks and curtains.

In contrast, the hair block combines the best of both worlds very well. It is easier to make than headgear and no less natural than headgear, so hair block becomes the first choice of hair loss patients.

Second, the composition of the wig

No matter what kind of wig is composed of two parts, the base and hair.

1. What is the bottom of the net

The base of the wig is the part of the wig that is used to carry the hair, and also the part that fits with our own hair, which is similar to the existence of the scalp.

There are two main types of mesh base, one is made up of leather and the other is made up of mesh, and there are also mesh base where leather and mesh coexist.

▲ Leather

There are few cheap wigs on the market that use leather as a mesh base, because leather mesh bases need to go through a rigorous process. Leather-based mesh base is usually in the form of smeared glue. A special glue is brushed onto a hair block, heated and dried, and then the leather is formed.

The treated leather is smooth and comfortable to the touch and very skin-friendly. Leather is also divided into thin and thick, the thinnest leather thickness of only 0.03mm, feel very good, and very lightweight, wear on the head hardly feel the extra weight.

Mesh

The net material is the same as the leather, is to undertake the hair part, the net material also has different materials, such as lace made of net material mesh small, feel very soft, and has a high degree of permeability, suitable for summer wear; another more common net material "mono" is more sturdy, longer life.

Because of the advantages of leather and mesh material, so many customers in the custom wig in the bottom of the mesh selection will choose a combination of the two materials in the style, in order to make their own customized wig more suitable for their own wear.

2. Type of hair

There are many types of hair materials used in wigs, the more common ones are real hair, chemical fiber hair and cow hair.

Real hair

Real hair, as the name suggests, is a wig made of human hair. Barbershops are one of the main places where real hair is collected, and the hair that falls out of customers' heads after a haircut is collected and sold to wig-making factories, while some customers with good hair quality will have their hair neatly cut off and sold to hair buyers.

Real hair is divided into bubble hair, smooth hair, cut original hair, etc., bubble hair is the hair trimmed down in the barber store, because these hair are scattered on the ground after being collected, so most of the heads and tails are upside down, looks more messy.

The opposite is smooth hair, which is mostly cut directly from the human head. For example, during the Republican period, men were required to cut their hair in braids, and the braids cut from men's hair were shun hair, which was not inverted at the head and tail.

In addition to this, human hair is also divided into Indian hair, European hair and Chinese hair, of which European hair is the finest and softest, Chinese hair is coarser and harder, and Indian hair is softer and at the same time the best obtainable, so it is most commonly used for hair materials.

▲Chemical Fiber Hair

Chemical fiber hair is a synthetic material which is a supplement to human hair. Chemical fiber hair is divided into low-temperature silk, high-temperature silk and protein silk. Among them, low-temperature silk can be heated at 80 degrees to maintain no deformation, you can do some exaggerated, high supportive modeling, commonly used in the production of hair curtains; high-temperature silk can be heated to 200 degrees to maintain no deformation, can be free to iron straight hot curls, more comfortable to touch; protein silk is the closest to the human hair, commonly used in high-grade wig products to do the filler, and can be flame-retardant.

The advantage of chemical fiber hair is that it does not change color, so it is often used to make white hair.

Cow hair

Compared with human hair, it is harder, but whiter and brighter than human hair, so it is also often used to make gray hair.

The three types of hair materials have their own advantages, so they are often used in different places.

Third, the advantages of wigs

1. Immediate effect

One of the advantages of a wig is that it can produce an immediate effect as soon as it is worn. A well-made wig can produce an immediate effect when you wear it.
