Is It Cheaper To Buy A Wig Or Make It?

Many friends may be curious: which is cheaper, buying a wig or making one yourself? As someone who knows a lot about wigs, I can tell you that making your own wigs may seem fun, but it is not necessarily cheap.

1. The cost of raw materials is not cheap

To make a wig, you need to buy a lot of raw materials, such as the wig base, hair (usually real human hair bundles or high-quality synthetic hair), needles and thread, glue, elastic bands, etc. If you want to make a lace wig, you also need to buy a closure or frontal separately. Although some of these materials can be reused, it often costs a lot of money to buy them for the first time.

2. Requirements for technology and tools

Making wigs requires certain skills, especially lace wigs. For example, you need to master how to weave the hair net correctly, fix the hair, and learn how to plucking (pulling the hairline) and bleaching (bleaching and dyeing the hair roots). If these techniques are not proficient, it will not only take a lot of time, but the results may not be ideal. In addition, you need to buy special tools, such as crochet hooks, bleaching powder, and water, and the cost of tools and practice is not low.

3. Time cost is an invisible cost

Making a wig yourself is very time-consuming. An ordinary wig may take several days or even a week to complete, especially a lace wig. From bleaching, dyeing, plucking hair to adjusting the hairline, every step is a test of patience. If you have plenty of time, of course you can treat it as a pleasure, but if you have limited time, the time cost spent on making it is also a considerable "expense".

4. Advantages of buying a finished wig

In contrast, buying a full wig saves time and effort. Many brands offer wigs with pre-plucked hairlines and bleached and dyed nodes, which can be worn directly after getting them, eliminating many complicated steps. Such as wear and go wigs, 360 glueless wigs. Moreover, wigs made by professional manufacturers are usually better than those made by ourselves, both in terms of natural effects and wearing comfort.

5. Suitable for handmade enthusiasts

Of course, if you like handmade and enjoy the fun of doing it yourself, making a wig by yourself will be a very interesting experience. It not only allows you to understand the process of wig-making, but also creates a unique hairstyle that fully meets your needs. If you are very particular about details and have patience and time, you can try to make it yourself.

Summary

There is no absolute "cheap" or "expensive" when buying wigs or making wigs. If you pursue efficiency and effect, it will be more cost-effective to buy pre everything wigs; if you love handicrafts and are willing to invest time and energy, then making a wig yourself will also be a unique experience.
