Hairpieces are fashion accessories made from two materials; Synthetic hair and Natural Human Hair. These two materials of human hair wigs can take different styles. The two predominant styles of hairpieces are:

Straight Hair Wigs
This hair wigs style does not possess any ups and downs; they possess straight strands of hairs that run from the spine, and they often come as hair bundles with closure. It gives its user a flying, silky, and enchanting look.
Caring For Straight Hair Wigs
The kind of care given to straight hair wigs is dependent on the material that makes up the wig. One way of caring for both kinds of wigs is air drying them after use. This aims to prevent the occurrence of dandruff or smell. When using heating iron, it is important to remember that synthetic hair wigs are not heated-friendly, so avoid using too much heat to straighten the hair strands. The same applies to natural human hairs; although they react differently to heat, constant application of heat shortens the lifespan of the wig. Also, when caring for your wigs, use anti-dandruff creams and ointments. Lastly, after washing and drying, endeavor to store the wigs properly.
