Real hair wigs have become increasingly popular in recent years. They offer a convenient and natural-looking solution for people with long-term hair loss.
If you’re looking for a wig to help with hair loss from illness or treatment of medical conditions, they offer a range of benefits that are hard to ignore.
In this article, we’ll explore some of the key benefits of real hair wigs.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the different types of wigs available on the market together. We’ll also dive into some of the most common questions people have about these wigs and provide tips and advice for maintenance and styling.
Benefits of Real Hair Wigs
There are many undeniable benefits to wearing a real hair wig, which is why they have become such a popular choice for people worldwide. Here are just a few of the key benefits you can expect when you invest in a human hair wig:
- Natural-Looking: One of the biggest benefits of real hair wigs is that they look incredibly natural – simply because they are! Unlike synthetic wigs, which can look shiny and artificial, real hair wigs are made from high-quality human hair. They’re designed to mimic the feel and movement of natural hair as closely as possible.
- Versatile: Real hair wigs come in a wide range of styles, lengths, densities and colours. Therefore, it’s easy to find a wig that suits your personal style and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a short, cropped style or long, flowing locks, there’s a wig available that will meet your needs.
- Durable: Real hair wigs are designed to last for a long time, so they are often considered a worthwhile investment. When cared for properly, a high-quality real hair wig can last for several years, making it a cost-effective solution for people with permanent hair loss. Some can be re-haired and maintained, making them last a lot longer – up to 10 years.
- Customisable: One of the unique benefits of real hair wigs is that they can be customised to your specific needs. For example, you can choose a wig that matches your natural hair colour and texture.
At Hair to Ware, we offer a wide range of real hair wigs, designed to meet all these needs and more. Our wigs are made from the highest quality human hair. They are available in a variety of styles, textures, densities and colours to suit any preference.

Styling Real Hair Wigs
Styling a human hair wig can be slightly intimidating at first, especially if you’re used to working with your natural hair. However, with a little bit of practice and some basic styling tips, you can achieve various looks with your wig.
One of the most important things to remember is to dry the inside of the cap with a warm (not hot!) hair dryer before brushing the wig. When styling a real hair wig is to be gentle.
Wigs are more delicate than our natural hair, and they require a bit of extra care to keep them looking their best. When you’re styling your wig, it’s essential to be gentle and avoid pulling or tugging on the hair too much. Use a soft brush or a wide-toothed comb to detangle and style the hair with care.
Another thing to remember is that human hair wigs can be more prone to damage from heat styling tools than natural hair. While it’s usually okay to use a curling iron or flat iron on your real hair wig, it’s important to use a heat protectant spray and a rehydrating oil. Keep the heat setting on the lower side to prevent any damage.
In addition to being gentle and careful when styling your wig, it’s also important to use the right products. Look for shampoos and conditioners that are specifically formulated for use on real hair wigs. We use and recommend Insight Professional, as these will help to keep the hair soft and silky without damaging it. Avoid using regular hair care products, as these can be too harsh for the delicate hair on your wig. No silicones, sulphates or parabens as they can add weight to the knots on the cap.
Taking good care of your wig and having frequent salon colour and hydration treatments can extend its lifespan and keep it looking great for as long as possible. Remember to treat it with care and give it the TLC it deserves.
Wig Care and Maintenance
When you’ve invested in a human hair wig, proper care and maintenance are essential to keep it looking and feeling its best. In this section, we’ll review some essential tips and tricks for caring for your real hair wig.
Washing Your Wig
First up, let’s talk about washing your wig. While it may be tempting to wash your wig as often as you would your natural hair, be mindful of how much you’re washing it. In general, it’s recommended that you wash your wig every seven wears.
When washing your wig, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. We recommend and use Insight Professional. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously or tangling the hair. Always hold the hair up from cap to end and do this the whole time you wash the wig. After shampooing, use a lightweight, moisturising conditioner to help detangle the hair and maintain its softness and shine.
Avoid conditioner on the root; apply only the mid and ends. Use a hydrating treatment every other wash as the wig gets older, and use a treatment every time you wash. You can leave this on for a few hours. Again, avoid the root area where the knots are. Use the hydration oil after washing and pat dry the excess water off with a towel.
Heat and Styling
In addition to washing, there are other steps you can take to protect your real hair wig from damage. One of the most important things you can do is to avoid heat styling whenever possible. While human hair wigs are more heat-resistant than synthetic wigs, excessive heat can still damage the hair fibres. This can cause them to become dry and brittle over time. If you do need to style your wig with heat, be sure to use a high-quality heat protectant spray. (And avoid using the highest heat setting on your styling tool.)
Deep Conditioning
Another key step in caring for your wig is deep conditioning. Deep conditioning treatments can help to restore moisture to the hair fibres, reduce tangling and shedding, and prolong the lifespan of your wig. Look for a deep conditioning treatment that is specifically formulated for real hair wigs, and use it once a month or as needed to keep your wig in top condition.
We offer a range of high-quality wig care products specially designed to keep your human hair wig looking and feeling its best. From gentle shampoos and conditioners to deep conditioning treatments and heat protectant sprays. We’ve got everything you need to care for your wig and protect it from damage.
Hairstyles and Customisations
One of the biggest benefits of wearing a human hair wig is the versatility it offers in terms of styling options. With a real hair wig, you can experiment with different hairstyles and looks. Whether you’re going for a casual everyday look or a more formal, special occasion style.
For everyday wear, there are a variety of simple and easy-to-style hairstyles that work well. If you have a short wig, you might opt for a sleek bob or a messy, tousled look. For longer wigs, you could try wearing your hair down in loose waves or pulling it back into a low ponytail or braid. We cut in baby hairs and soft hairs around the hairline to make it look as natural as possible.
