Every woman at least once in her life wanted to try on the image of a beauty with long voluminous hair. But not everyone was lucky enough to have their own hair of this quality and structure. Often, women are faced with the problem that their hair grows too slowly, and it is impossible to grow hair below the shoulder blades. Or another problem: there is length, but no density ... In such a case, the appearance also suffers. But do not give up the dream of gorgeous hair because of this. There are several of the most popular ways to implement it: a wig or extensions. What are the pros and cons of both - let's figure it out.
WIG OR EXTENSIONS. COMPARE BY CRITERIA
Efficiency
Let's start with extensions. The method is quite popular and relevant among everyone who wants to get a long hairstyle quickly. The procedure will take from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the technology.
In the case of wigs, you can also buy a quality wig quickly if something from the range that is available suits you. But, if your product is made to order or “customized” to measurements, you will have to wait from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on the complexity of the order.
Price
The extension procedure will be much cheaper than buying a good wig. But, take into account also the moment that you will need to go for permanent corrections, and if you plan to wear long hair for a long time, in six months or a year everything will result in a tidy sum, perhaps more than the cost of a natural wig. And then this plus will turn into a minus ... But if you choose building as an experiment for a month or two - why not.
A good wig is a status thing and therefore expensive. Expect to buy a quality wig made of natural hair "for cheap" - it's not worth it.
Aesthetics and appearance
If, when choosing a wig or extension, you prefer the latter, please note that even when using natural hair, due to the specifics of the attachment of extension hair, the transition will be noticeable. Sometimes, it is disguised as a cascade haircut or curled into curls. But it is very difficult to hide completely.
In the case of wigs from Mirjamwigs, which are made using the author's technology with imitation of the scalp, no one will distinguish a wig from natural hair.
Lack of volume in the root zone
A common problem faced by many women. It is she who becomes the reason why some go to the extension master. But here we will upset you: the hair grows below the parietal zone and therefore it turns out to create a length, but not a basal volume.
Wigs are perfect for this. Depending on the wishes of the client, the wig can be long and voluminous or, conversely, smooth. Here the structure of your native hair does not play a role.
Color selection.
When choosing extensions or a wig, pay attention to the selection of hair tone. In the case of a wig, you can radically change the image and, being a blonde, transform with a wig into a brunette, brown-haired woman and vice versa. The wig can be dyed in any desired tone. When choosing extensions, getting into the tone of the client's hair, especially if it is specific, is very difficult. Therefore, extensions are often performed on basic hair colors: black, blond, red - without shades. It is possible to perform painting and general, if natural undyed hair is used for extensions. But there is another nuance here - the structure of the hair and the initial pigmentation of its own and extended strands may differ, as a result, it is almost impossible to match the tone. In the case of wigs, this problem does not arise.
