In the world of beauty and hair, buying the best product adapted to our needs is the feeling of having made the “best purchase and investment of your life” and at Uniwigs we make sure to provide you with the best stock of wigs online.
In the case of wigs or extensions, whether they are long or short hair extensions, their variety is infinite in terms of styles, colors, and manufacturing material.
Comparisons according to the material of the wig are made based on those of natural hair and fiber wigs, some are not better than others because they are natural hair or fiber, but each of them has pros and cons. It is important that you know to select the one you like the most since the market has evolved and when it comes to high-quality synthetic wigs, you have to be an expert to distinguish them from natural ones because of their impeccable quality.
In this post, we want to talk about fiber wigs that present several differences to natural hair wigs as they are, their maintenance at home that does not require the services of professional, easy placement, less weight, they do not lose the volume or shape and their price is considerably cheaper than a natural one, making them ideal during temporary chemotherapy treatments or other circumstances.
Another important aspect, whether natural or fiber, is the inner tailoring when choosing a wig. As with natural hair wigs, fiber wigs can also be machine-made, mono-part, and monofilament. Another detail with which our fiber wig will gain value is its frontal termination since it can be with Lace Front providing an appearance of natural birth, or have a conventional termination.
1. Machined Fiber Wigs
They are those fiber wigs characterized in the beauty market for being cheaper. All its interior is made by machine. The disadvantage of these wigs is that due to this construction they are less breathable, bulky, and heavier than other pieces since so that the root cannot be seen, they are made with more hair.
2. Fiber Wigs with Mono-Part
They are the same as machine-made wigs, with the only difference that in the area of the hair part or the swirl, the hair is implanted by hand on tulle, offering the effect of natural birth in this area.
By having this type of confection, it will not be possible to change the shape of the hairstyle and the area where the hair part is located.
3. Fiber Wigs with Monofilament
We raise the level, these pieces are very comfortable, the upper part is made on a monofilament tulle in which it is implanted by hand hair by hair, simulating an appearance of natural birth. Also, they are so light and breathable that you can see the skin of the scalp is extremely subtle and aesthetic.
In most wigs, the monofilament or micro-skin part is located at the top and the rest is made by machine. The combination of these two techniques ensures a perfect hold and a very natural effect.
In this type of wigs, unlike those made by machines where the direction of the hair cannot be varied, the technique of implanting the hair by hand allows the placement of the hair part to be varied, allowing the client to choose different styles. It will be easy to change, having the option to look different according to the occasion and “mood” of the day.
4. Lace Front finish
It is one of the most exclusive and elegant finishes in wigs, its origin comes from cinema or theater wigs, but this technique that has been implemented in the manufacture of wigs for daily use offers a 100% natural result in the frontal area of the wig, as it simulates an undetectable hairline.
The Lace front wigs have become in recent years the favorite of Hollywood stars, including the Kardashians, who are experts in setting trends and stimulating the current and risky woman to try different styles on every occasion that deserves and they want it. Without a doubt, it is one of the top choices and that you cannot ignore if you want to twist your look.
After highlighting the different types of fiber wigs that can be found, we will explain the maintenance that a fiber wig needs.

- Proceed to detangle the wig with a wide-tooth comb.

- Rinse with plenty of water.
- Remove excess water and apply conditioner for wigs or some restructuring without rinsing which has been specially designed for this type of hair, this will help to soften the fiber.
