All About Wigs

Wigs come in synthetic, human hair and blends of both. You can find them in many styles and colors. The manufacturers of synthetic wigs form them into a particular hairstyles and it is often difficult to change that preset style. Human hair can be styled much like you can style your own hair. Human hair also comes in many different textures including curly, straight, wavy or kinky. Human hair wigs are harvested from people who donate their hair after it has reached at least ten inches of length. The majority of human hair harvested comes from India and China. Often hair from people of these nationalities is not over processed with chemicals.

In the Jessica Simpson hair extensions you will see many different types of textures available. Human hair also comes in a wide variety of colors. Synthetic hair is created from plastic filament and they hold a style very well. Expensive synthetic wigs and synthetic human blends look like human hair, but the cheaper versions do not always look natural. More money will equal a higher quality wig, as long as you purchase from a reputable dealer.

Wigs are normally created on a cap. The cap is what the hair, human or synthetic is sewn on to the cap either by hand or by machine. The cap's purpose is to hold the pre-tip hair extensions together, but it is also made to look like a scalp. The cap holding the hair is usually held on to your head by tape, elastic or straps. In some cases, a nylon wig cap is used over the scalp and to hold hair in place. Hair pieces, like the Jessica Simpson hair extensions, and other types of hair add-ons are usually put on little clips that you simply attach to your own hair or on to your wig. They help to add texture and style to your hair. The Jessica Simpson hair extensions offer a lot of flair to what you already have and you can use several of them or just one or two at a time for completely different looks.

Proper maintenance and care of your wig will keep your wig in great condition for a very long time. Wigs need to be washed just as your hair, and then it will need to be conditioned, dried and styled. For users that enjoy a low maintenance look, you may want to stick with synthetic hair wigs. Synthetic or even blended wigs still need to be washed but they are more likely to hold their original style after the wash. Some costume wigs on the other hand are styled with more permanent things like glue. The basic synthetic wigs can be washed in cold water and dried with cool air, but some users add a little fabric softener for a silkier feel. The Jessica Simpson hair extensions will also need to be washed from time to time. If you care for your wig meticulously, you can expect its life span to be much more than the average one year estimate.
