There are many wig companies out there, but not many that have our 15 years of experience with wigs and hair.  Some wig companies will try to tell you that there is only one "best" fiber to lead you to choose them as a company.  But experienced professionals will tell you that you can't use the same fiber for all the styles of hair because each fiber has pros and cons and doesn't work well in every single style.  Below are some brief pros and cons for each of the fibers on the market.  When we design wigs, we take a look at the style we are trying to create and the appropriate fiber to make that style come to life.  Then we take into account how the hair will be sewn and positioned to achieve the best product.  There is no "magic" fiber that carries all the attributes without any cons, but we try to achieve the best and long lasting choices in our wigs.

Hair Types Pros and Cons

​

1. Heat Safe Hair - Is great because it can take heat up to 350 degrees which means you can use a curling iron or a straightener on it, but what they don't tell you is that heat safe hair is very dense and doesn't hold curl or style very well. It also is notoriously hard to dye or accept spray color.  If not dyed on the factory level, some individuals have success using highlighter ink or permanent marker to create effects with the hair.

​

2. Super Silky Hair (Also called soft fiber)- Is great because it's fun to touch and feels super slippery and soft.  However it picks up light on camera that makes it often look greasy or shiny in light colors and it is notoriously hard to keep curl over time.  It is also tricky to try to curl by iron. Same notes as Heat Safe Hair for dying. It's also known to pick up a bit of static.

​

3. Synthetic Hair - Is the best for styling and keeping curl.  Though it's not always as soft as super silky hair, it can't be beat for being able to tease it, curl it, and create natural looking styles.  It is not overly shiny and very realistic.  It is the best for creating styled looks by far and holds curl very well.

​

4. Mohair - Is able to achieve the very natural looks with wispy hair in the face that is realistic and delicate.  This hair is absolutely beautiful when dealing with very artistic detailed looking dolls and with child-like hairstyles because it can't be beat with realism.  It is a natural fiber so dying is easy and beautiful, but because it is a natural fiber it also produces the most pricy wigs and has limits on color shades without dye.  It is also prone to shedding.

​

5. Textured hair - Is dull compared to the shiny options in Heat Safe, Silky Hair, or Synthetic but nothing beats it's ability to get that fine detail in a textured style hair.  Wigs with this hair often have natural ends because this is how this hair is and attributes to it's realism.  Although you can shop it off in an even line, it doesn't quite look the same.  It can be very soft and nice and it doesn't reflect light in lighter colors like heat safe hair.  Minimal shedding.

6. Synthetic Mohair - Available to mimic Mohair in terms of texture with more options for color than natural Mohair.
