Hair extensions vs. wigs is a common dilemma among those who search for a
corrective solution that conceals hair loss and other issues. It may be a
result of a disease, chemotherapy, rapid decline in health, or vitamin and
microelements deficits, and it often affects confidence, particularly among
women.
Reaching out for these solutions can bring
this confidence back – so it’s always worth it! They both allow you to change
your looks instantly and make your hair look much longer and thicker. You can
also use it for one-time or a temporary metamorphosis that will boost your
look.
What to take into account when choosing
between hair extensions and wigs?
Hair
extensions – when are they worth it?
The extensions are perfect both for
short-term and long-term metamorphosis – you just have to select the
appropriate method. However, it won’t be suitable for those who lose much hair
daily. That’s because the extensions are usually attached to your own strands.
Thus, once you start losing your hair rapidly, you’ll use the hair extensions,
too.
That refers particularly to the tape-in and
clip-in methods. They may make the hair even weaker and cause damage, so they
are not the best fit for people who struggle with hair loss. In their case, the
micro-ring method will be a better fit.
Note that in order to attach the micro-ring
extensions, your hair should be at least 10-12 centimeters long. In the case of
tape
in extensions, clip-in, and weave extensions, the minimum length of natural
strands is 7 centimeters.
When
to pick a wig?
Once the hair loss becomes really rapid and
visible, we would recommend switching to human hair wigs.
But that’s not the only case. If your hair is weak and damaged and you want to
avoid further deterioration of its state, you may want to go for a wig, too.
That’s because, in the end, extensions may be quite a burden.
A
wig is an instant solution for changing your looks, so if you don’t like to
spend time on stylization and hair rituals, we’d go for a wig as well. The
modern wigs available on the market are usually all made with real human hair
and provide you with a beautiful natural look. When choosing a wig, remember to
adjust the cap to the shape of your head and measure your head size so that it
fits perfectly.
