The most exciting advancement in wig design is the monofilament top. It's a transparent mesh top with individually tied hairs, so that wherever the hair parts, you actually see your own scalp. This allows the designer to use less hair, because they are not trying to cover up the wefting. Hand tied and monofilament wigs are lighter, more comfortable, cooler, and stay in place better than conventional wigs. They range in price from $300-$400 compared to $150-$180 for a high-quality, conventional synthetic wig.
Most women who continue to work during their treatment prefer to wear a wig, and wear one every day, we suggest having 2 this way you have the reassurance of having a spare. If a monofilament wig is within your budget, they are definitely worth the extra money. If not, one regular, high-quality synthetic wig will be fine.
The Bottom line...
Never has the adage "you get what you pay for" been truer than it is with wigs. You may wonder why you should go to a salon and pay $165 for a wig when you can order one out of a catalog for $40-50?
Well, there is a huge difference in the quality of the fiber, workmanship and style. A $50 wig will be dense and thick and dull. Even if you try to thin it out, it'll still be thick at the scalp and the fibers will not have a natural feel, color or shine. If you look really close at the pictures in the catalog, you can see how thick and unnatural they look.
Every woman wants to look and feel beautiful, and it's especially true when you're experiencing hair loss. If you buy a cheap wig that you hate, you're not going to wear it or feel good about it and it'll just be a waste of money.
