Several types of hair can be used to make wigs, each offering different qualities and characteristics. Some of the most common types of hair used for wigs include:

Human Hair: Human hair is popular for wig-making due to its natural look, feel, and versatility. Quality human hair can last for years with proper care and maintenance. It can be sourced from various regions, including Europe, Asia, and South America, each with unique textures, colors, and qualities. Human hair wigs can be styled, cut, and colored like natural hair, providing a more realistic appearance and greater styling flexibility.

Synthetic Hair: Synthetic hair is made from artificial fibers designed to mimic the appearance and texture of human hair. Synthetic wigs are pre-styled and ready to wear in various colors and styles. Synthetic wigs can hold their style for life but can be re-styled with either low heat or steam. They are typically more affordable and require lower maintenance than human hair wigs.

Animal Hair: In some cases, animal hair, such as horsehair, yak hair, goat hair, and more, can be used for wig-making. These hair types are often used to create specialty wigs, such as costumes or theatrical wigs. Animal hair can provide unique textures and appearances but may require special care and maintenance. Occasionally, animal hair can be used on the hairline for a softer look.

Human Hair Blend: Some wigs are made from a blend of human and synthetic fibers, offering a balance between the natural appearance of human hair and the affordability and low maintenance of synthetic hair. Blended hair wigs can provide a more budget-friendly option while still offering some styling versatility.
