Human hair wigs offer the most realistic look and feel, allowing for greater versatility in styling. On the other hand, synthetic wigs are more affordable, require less maintenance, and often come pre-styled.

Unlike synthetic hair, human hair cannot be fabricated on demand. It a natural material that takes time to grow, so it is in much lower supply than standard synthetic hair. Additionally, it takes 2-3 heads of hair to create a single human hair wig. This, of course, makes human hair more expensive.

Summary on Wigs that Look Real: Most realistic-looking wigs are made with high-quality synthetic materials or 100% human hair and have a cap construction that includes a lace front (undetectable hairline).
