Types of Wig Hair Fibers

These wigs are typically made from two types of wig fibers-human hair and synthetic hair.
Both have comparable features and benefits, so the choice between these two wig fibers comes down to personal preference.
Human Hair Wigs
Human hair wig types have the most realistic appearance and are easiest to style and maintain, just like your natural hair.
They can be heat styled just like natural hair. However, we recommend using heat protectants to keep your human hair wig looking shiny and healthy.
Synthetic Hair Wigs
Wigs made of synthetic hair fibers are more reasonably priced and offer similar benefits and features, like the natural look and feel just like human hair wigs!
While many high-quality wigs made of synthetic hair fibers do a remarkable job, synthetic wigs offered by Especially Yours® are softer, lighter, more natural-looking hair with a resilient body and vibrant, long-lasting colors.
They are easy to style and made of super light fibers that are easy to maintain, long-lasting, and extremely comfortable to wear.
They are one of our top picks for those new to the world of wigs!
Heat-friendly synthetic wig hair is a superior choice for most women looking for reasonably priced synthetic wig options.
This unique hair fiber can endure the heat from hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons to provide more styling options.
