What Are the Different Types of Synthetic Wigs?
There are three main types of synthetic wigs, all of which are considerably cheaper than natural wigs. The least expensive of these is toyokalon, followed by kanekalon, and the industry preferred monofilament variants. While many people believe that wigs made from animal hair, such as yaks, are considered synthetic wigs, this is not the case. A toyokalon wig is softer than most synthetic wigs and less prone to tangling, though it does not look as natural as kanekalon or monofilament wigs. It is typically used for temporary wigs, such as those worn at Halloween, rather than for everyday wear. As with all synthetic wigs, toyokalon is colored and styled in the factory and this color and style is permanent.
