Snaps: Snaps differ from clips because they are tied or sewn to your natural hair. They cannot be removed any time you wish and you will require expertise of a technician to help you take off wig. Snaps may cause an inconvenience because they must be relocated as your hair grows. Another downside to snaps is that they do not allow daily cleansing of your scalp.
How much do hairpieces cost? The price of a hairpiece varies greatly and depends on many factors. These include quality of hair used, whether wig is ready-made or custom-made and selected method of attachment.
Ready-made synthetic wigs can be purchased for as little as $40.00 through mail order catalogs or in boutiques while custom-made hairpieces created with quality human hair can cost as much as $4,000.
How do I care for my hairpiece? Care for your hairpiece as you would care for your own hair; it requires same attention. Of course, hairpieces made with good quality human hair need greater care than synthetic wigs.
Human hair wigs require shampooing and conditioning about every 7-10 days. They can be either air-dried or blow-dried on a low heat setting.
Synthetic wigs require washing in cool water about every 7-10 days. They must be left on a towel to dry. Hot water and hair dryers must never be used.
