FAQs
Choosing a short hair wig can be complicated with so many available options on the market. You want short hair because of the ease involved, so we want to make the decision process just as easy. Below, we have put together some frequently asked questions related to short hair wigs.
How much does a short wig cost?
The price of a wig can vary widely depending on the type of hair used, the type of cap, and the construction methods. Typically, synthetic hair wigs are cheaper and will cost a few hundred dollars. Real human hair wigs are more expensive and can cost thousands. Wigs that have double monofilament design features, or are 100% hand-tied tend to add more to the price. Ultimately, these features will add more quality to your wig and will make your wig appear more natural.
Are short hair wigs cheaper than long hair wigs?
When you compare apples to apples, yes, short hair wigs are generally less expensive than long hair wigs. That is because less material and hair goes into constructing a wig. Where this equation gets tricky though is when you consider the many available options for cap and wig construction. Things like a monofilament cap, hand-tied construction, and natural human hair can make even a short hair wig very expensive.
Do short hair wigs require less maintenance?
Generally speaking, yes! Short hair wigs are the ultimate low maintenance wig. Because the individual hairs are shorter they require less time to wash, dry, and style. The shorter length often does not become as tangled, and brushing and maintaining the hair is much less labor-intensive. A short hair wig is a great way to cut down on your time spent completing your morning routine.
