When it comes to hair, you have two primary routes: wigs and rooted hair. Wigs offer versatility, easy changes, and quick refreshes. High-quality wigs made from synthetic or human hair allow you to switch colors, lengths, and textures to suit a mood, style, or scene. They’re removable and usually easier to maintain, though you may need to secure them to prevent slippage. Rooted hair provides a more permanent, integrated look; the hair is implanted into the scalp or a scalp-like cap, giving natural fall and movement. Rooted options can feel more authentic but require more regular care, including washing, conditioning, and careful styling. Maintenance differences include securing methods, heat tolerance, and the level of tangling resistance. When choosing, consider climate, usage patterns, and how much time you want to devote to upkeep. Whichever route you pick, protect against heat damage, use appropriate styling products, and store hair away from dust and moisture. Regularly check for shedding, ensure even scalp coverage, and handle gently to preserve realism over time.
