HOW TO CHOOSE:
Option 1: Synthetic wigs are more temporary and cost effective. They can be purchased directly from a wig store.

Option 2: Human hair is more costly but last longer. They can be purchased directly from a wig store but need to be customized with a cut from a stylist.

Option 3: Lace fronts are more natural but are more expensive. You should be sized by a stylist and have the lace front ordered for proper fitting.

Option 4: Custom made wigs are most natural but are the most expensive. You must be sized and fitted by a professional wig expert to pick custom color and style.
