Synthetic hair wigs are made from strands of man-made materials, such as plastic or acrylic. Synthetic hair fibers are made to closely resemble the look and movement of human hair.

Synthetic wigs are widely available, more affordable than human hair wigs, lightweight, and easy to take care of. They also come in a wide variety of colors and styles. A synthetic wig will last about four to six months (not as long as a human hair wig).
Synthetic hair wigs have a set color and style that stays the same. If you have a curly synthetic wig, for example, those same curls will bounce right back into place after you wash it. You can’t dye synthetic hair wigs, and you can’t use heat tools like curling irons or flat irons to style them. Because heat can damage the synthetic fibers, you’ll even want to be careful with using a hair dryer on a synthetic wig.
The permanent color and style of a synthetic wig can be a perk or a drawback depending on your needs. If you want to just put on your wig and walk out the door, you might find the set style of a synthetic wig convenient. If you like to style your hair differently day-to-day, you might prefer a wig fiber type that you are able to style. But because synthetic wigs are more affordable, you may consider buying several so you can conveniently switch up your look for different occasions.
