Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Most Realistic Wig?
The most realistic wigs are made with high-quality materials and construction to ensure that they look as natural as possible. That includes:
- Human hair, preferably 100% European
- A temple-to-temple lace front
- A hand-tied cap
When combined, those factors create a realistic wig that's practically indistinguishable from your own hair. You can part it any which way and even style it with heat-based tools. Realistic wigs—like the ones at Daniel Alain—are the closest thing you'll find to your own hair.
Maximum styling and parting versatility with an undetectable hairline—what's not to love?
How Much Does a Realistic Wig Cost?
Prices for realistic lace front wigs will vary depending on the construction and where the hair was sourced from. However, you can expect to spend anywhere from $2,391 to $10,849 for a high-quality wig from Daniel Alain. Our pricing reflects the quality of our materials and workmanship as well as the rarity of our 100% European hair.
When you buy a realistic wig from us, you're getting a piece that's built to last. With proper care, your wig will last for years to come, giving you an exceptional value for your investment.
However, we also offer monthly payment plans to make our realistic wigs more accessible. You can spread the cost of your wig over 3, 9, and 12 months so you can get the wig of your dreams without breaking the bank.
How Long Do Realistic Wigs Last?
How long a wig lasts ultimately depends on how well it's cared for and how often it's worn. Some of our customers have had their natural wigs for over nine years—which is significantly longer than the typical wig lifespan of 1-3 years.
Maintaining high-quality human hair wigs is all about consistency. We recommend that you:
- Wash your wig at least every week if you wear it daily
- Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle the strands
- Avoid holding realistic wigs by their lace front and instead grab the ear tabs, which are more durable
- Store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head when you're not wearing it
- Keep your wig away from heat sources, like hairdryers, curling irons, and straighteners
- Use wig-specific products to maintain the health of the strands
By following those tips, you can keep your realistic wig looking luscious for years to come.
What are Realistic Looking Wigs Made Out Of?
The most realistic wigs are made out of human hair, preferably sourced from European countries as their strands are silkier and have a more natural luster. The hair is then tied by hand to a lace front cap to create a believable hairline.
The more detail that goes into the construction of the wig, the more realistic it will look. That's why Daniel Alain wigs are some of the most realistic on the market—we take care to use only the finest materials and craft each piece by hand.
Can You Tell if Someone Wears a Wig?
If you purchase a high-quality piece, then no. The best realistic wigs are designed to look and feel like your own hair. That means they should lay flat on your head, move naturally, and be virtually indistinguishable from your real hair.
One way to tell if someone is wearing a wig is if the wig cap is visible. A good wig will lay flush against your head, so you shouldn't be able to see the cap. If you can see the edge of the wig or some of the wefts, then it's likely not a realistic wig.
Another telltale sign is if the hairline looks fake. A realistic wig will have a believable hairline that looks just like your own. If the hairline looks unnatural or too perfect, then it's likely a wig. Lace fronts can be cut or trimmed to better match your hairline and create an even more realistic look.
The best way to avoid giving away that you're wearing a wig is to purchase a realistic wig from a reputable brand like Daniel Alain. We only use the highest quality materials and craft each piece by hand to ensure a realistic look that's undetectable.
Are Human Hair Wigs Better than Synthetic?
Without a shred of doubt, the most realistic human hair wigs are far superior to synthetic strands. Real human hair wigs can be styled with heat tools, dyed, and cut just like your own hair. They're fluid and move naturally, making them harder to detect.
On the other hand, synthetic wigs are made out of plastic fibers that can't stand up to heat styling or dyeing. They're also less durable than human hair wigs and more likely to tangle. And because they're not as breathable as human hair wigs, they can cause your head to sweat—which is never a good look.
If you're looking for a realistic wig that will give you the most natural look, then human hair is the way to go. Daniel Alain’s 100% real European hair wigs create a perfectly natural look.
How Realistic are Synthetic Wigs?
Synthetic wigs have come a long way in recent years, but they still can't compare to the realistic look of human hair wigs. The biggest issue still is that they always look like wigs.
The strands' fibers easily reflect light, so they often have a shiny, fake-looking sheen. And because they're made out of plastic, they don't move or behave like real hair—they're stiff and unnatural.
If you want a realistic wig that looks and feels like your own hair, then human hair is the way to go.
What is the Most Realistic Wig Brand?
Because we primarily use a lace front, hand-tied construction and 100% real European hair (which, by the way, is sourced from the top 10% of hair in the world) Daniel Alain is the most realistic wig brand on the market.
Where is the Best Place to Buy Realistic Wigs?
Buying a wig online is no easy feat. There are so many choices, colors and styles to choose from. And with all of the different brands and materials out there, it's hard to know where to start.
But if you're looking for the most realistic wigs on the market, then Daniel Alain is the place to shop. We only use the highest quality materials and craft each piece by hand to ensure a realistic look that's undetectable.
Our experts are always on hand to answer questions and help you determine the right piece for you. Plus, our free Fit Kit lets you play and experiment with different lengths and colors before you make your final purchase.
What are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?
Every woman's hair is unique, and human hair wigs are no different. Here's a quick rundown on the types of human hair you'll find and the pros and cons of each.
European Hair
The best of the best, European hair is sourced from the top 10% of hair in the world, which is usually small villages in Russia and Ukraine. It's soft, silky, and has a natural sheen that looks realistic and beautiful.
Pros:
- Better match for those of European descent
- Unmatched silky and smooth texture
- Vibrant colors
- Highest quality hair available
- Collected directly from a woman's head
- Longer lifespan
Cons:
- Rare and hard to find
- Most expensive hair type
- Does not hold curls and styles as well as other types
Indian Hair
Indian hair is a popular choice for wigs because it's plentiful and relatively inexpensive. The hair is usually sourced from temples, where it's donated as part of a religious ceremony in which women shave their heads.
Pros:
- Easy to find
- Silky and lightweight, so long as the strands have remained untouched
- Versatile and easy to style
- Affordable
Cons:
- Original texture is often damaged and chemically treated during wig making
- More coarse
- Typically only comes in darker shades
- Won't last as long as European hair
Asian Hair
Asian hair is sourced predominantly from Hong Kong, but can also be traced to Myanmar, Japan, Laos, and Mongolia. Many people prefer Asian hair wigs because they're known for being thick, lustrous, and strong. However, unsavory manufacturing methods can potentially influence the quality of the hair you get.
Pros:
- Easy to find (it's the most common kind of hair you'll find on wigs today)
- More volume and styling versatility
- Texture is silky and smooth
- Affordable
Cons:
- The collection process results in a lot of waste hair (i.e. hair found in drains and floors) being sold to manufacturers
- Won't last as long as European hair
- Typically only comes in darker shades
Virgin Hair
Virgin hair is exactly what it sounds like—hair that's never been processed, colored, or treated in any way. It's the closest you can get to your own natural hair and because of that, it's become a coveted commodity in the wig industry.
However, you can't get true virgin hair anymore. Dying and chemical treatments are all too common, making it nearly impossible to find hair that's completely unaltered.
Pros:
- More natural look and feel
- Hair is healthy and strong
- Can be styled and colored as desired
Cons:
- Extremely rare and hard to find
- Very expensive
Remy Hair
Remy hair is the gold standard in the wig industry. It's collected from a single donor and all of the strands are facing in the same direction to prevent tangling. This type of hair is often used in high-end wigs because it results in a realistic, natural look.
Pros:
- Long lasting
- Tangle free
- Soft, silky texture
Cons:
- More expensive than other types
- Can be difficult to find due to most wigs being mass-produced
