Advantages: Offers versatility in styling options compared to traditional synthetic fibers. Styles can be changed and adjusted without losing the wig's original shape.
Care: Requires careful styling to avoid damage; lower heat settings are recommended to prolong the life of the wig or extensions.

Advantages: Offers the benefits of both synthetic and natural hair, such as affordability and styling versatility combined with a more natural look and feel.
Care: Follow care instructions specific to the blend of fibers used; generally, avoid high heat and use gentle cleaning products to maintain the integrity of the blend.
High-Heat Resistant Synthetic Hair:
Description: This type of synthetic hair is specifically designed to withstand higher temperatures than standard synthetic fibers, often up to 400�F (200�C) or more.
Advantages: Allows for more flexibility in styling with heat tools without compromising the wig's structure or appearance. Ideal for achieving intricate styles and curls.
Care: Careful heat styling is still recommended to prolong the life of the wig. Use heat protectant products and adjust heat settings according to manufacturer guidelines.
