Synthetic Wigs: Why They’re a Smart, Stylish Choice (and How to Pick One You’ll Love)

Why choose a synthetic wig?

- Easy, low-maintenance style: Many synthetic wigs come ready-to-wear — you pop them on and you’re good to go. No daily styling marathon.

- Consistent shape and bounce: Synthetic fibers hold their style, so waves or curls look the same after you sleep, travel, or run errands.

- Budget-friendly: You can get a gorgeous, natural-looking wig for a fraction of the price of human hair. Great news in today’s economy.

- Comfort: Breathable (ventilated) caps keep your scalp cooler and more comfortable, especially if you wear wigs often or have a sensitive scalp.

- Options for every mood: Want classic blonde or a subtle auburn? Or craving a fun, fashion-forward color? Synthetics come in everything from natural shades to playful hues.

Monofilament part: what it is and why it matters

Think of the part as the “scalp” of your wig. A monofilament part is a small area in the wig where individual hairs are hand-tied to a fine, sheer base that looks like real scalp. The result:

- A believable, natural-looking part

- Real movement — hair separates and falls like natural hair

- Less obvious “wig” appearance, especially when you wear your hair down

Monofilament parts are a fantastic choice if you want the part to look truly realistic without the lace-front price tag.

Lace front: the ideal pick for pulled-back styles

A lace front creates an invisible hairline along the forehead so the wig looks like hair is growing right out of your scalp. It’s perfect if you:

- Like to pull hair back off your face

- Want the most undetectable hairline possible

- Prefer the option to style around the face freely

We carry both realistic monofilament-part styles and a lace-front option — so you can choose what feels most like you.

Great for beginners (and anyone who wants less fuss)

If you’re new to wigs, synthetics are a dream:

- Ready-to-wear options don’t require complicated styling

- They’re forgiving — you don’t need a full styling kit to look polished

- Affordable price points make trying styles risk-free

Budget-friendly doesn’t mean boring

You don’t have to sacrifice looks for price. Today’s synthetic wigs offer:

- Rooted colors and dimensional shades that mimic natural hair growth

- Natural densities (so the wig isn’t helmet-thick)

- Soft, low-shine fibers that photograph and move beautifully

Fun fact: you can go subtle or bold. Want a natural chestnut or a deep red? Or something playful like pastel or rose gold? There are great options for every comfort level.

A quick care cheat-sheet (so your wig stays gorgeous)

- Best styling: We recommend wet styling with rollers or pin curls for soft, natural shape. It’s gentle and gives beautiful movement. BigWig Bar carries low heat friendly synthetic wigs, we just find wet styling works the best.

- Brushing: Use a wide-tooth comb or wig brush, always from ends to roots.

- Washing: Use wig-specific products and air dry on a stand.

- Storage: Keep on a stand or in a box so the shape lasts longer.

Want it to feel custom? Try a light cut or density tweak — small adjustments make a ready-to-wear wig look made-for-you.

Who this is perfect for

- Anyone who wants quick, consistent styling with minimal upkeep

- People on a budget who still want a natural look

- Beginners who want an easy, confidence-boosting first wig

- Anyone needing a comfortable, breathable option for daily wear (including medical wig clients — ask us about insurance coverage)
