What is the disadvantage of a synthetic wig?
Synthetic wigs can be an economical option, but they have several important limitations compared to natural hair wigs: They cannot be exposed to heat or dyes: They do not allow flat irons, hair dryers, or curling irons (except for thermal models). They also cannot be dyed.
Shorter lifespan: They deteriorate faster, especially if used daily. The fiber can become tangled or lose its shine.
They generate more heat: Synthetic fiber does not breathe like natural hair, which can be uncomfortable in hot climates or with prolonged use.
Less natural appearance: Although they have improved, many still have an artificial shine that is not very realistic.
Limited styling: They do not allow changing the direction of the hairstyle with freedom.
Touch sensation: They feel more plastic to the touch and less soft than human hair.

What types of natural wig constructions are there?
THERE ARE TRANSPARENT TUL, MONOFILAMENT, AND MACHINE-MADE CONSTRUCTIONS They can be mixed or partial.

What is the difference between breathable tul and monofilament?
The main difference lies in the type of fabric and the user experience, although both are handmade with care and precision.
Tul:
It is a very fine, soft, and fully breathable fabric, with micro-holes that allow the scalp to breathe.
It is much lighter and more flexible, ideal for people with sensitive scalps or for those who need to wear the wig for many hours.
It provides maximum comfort and freshness and easily adapts to the shape of the head.
Monofilamento:
It is a more structured and thicker fabric that allows implanting the hair one by one, imitating the natural birth of the hair. It offers a very realistic finish on the top, but can be less breathable and a bit more rigid or hot, especially in summer or on sensitive skin.
MACHINE-MADE CONSTRUCTION: this finish does not have transparent parts that simulate the effect of the scalp, but rather they are entirely machine-made, therefore, they cannot be styled backwards, but rather have a short, straight, or long lateral fringe, depending on the hairstyle that must disguise the front of the wig so that the construction cap is not visible... on the other hand, they are very interesting and convenient when what we are looking for is a simple style without much volume

Can a wig be made with my own hair or donated hair?
Technically yes, but in Spain there are health regulations that must be met. The hair has to undergo a hygiene process (fumigation) and meet certain quality requirements.
In addition, many times it cannot be guaranteed that the donated hair is in good condition or well classified, as it must be separated by lengths and types to be able to make a wig in an adequate way.
For these reasons, we do not recommend using your own or donated hair, as it may not be suitable for achieving a comfortable, durable and natural wig.
