What is the Difference between Human Hair and Synthetic Fibre Wigs
We often get asked this question so we created a page dedicated to it. Feel free to read the Human Hair V’s Synthetic Fibre Page then add any useful information you might have as a reply to this post.
Our image is how we think others see us. Our hair is part of that image. When we look in a mirror, we identify with what we see. Even without a mirror we have an idea of how we want our hair to look like.
As a man or woman begins to lose hair, the image in the mirror no longer matches the internal self-image developed over many years. This can cause anxiety since we feel much the same as before the hair loss. Hair Loss does not affect our physical health but can make us look older. When we see our reflection in the mirror, a different image confronts us.
Our hair is one of the most defining aspects of our appearance. A healthy head of hair makes us look attractive, youthful, and desirable. Our appearance directly affects our own self-image, and most of us want to maintain a self-image that is youthful and healthy looking. Our appearance attributes to how we feel about ourselves and affects our we interact with others. It affects our self-confidence, our mental health and our relationships. Having a full head of hair can improve the quality of our life, our success in business relationships, and our success in romance.
But despite the fact that losing hair, and even going bald, is part of the normal process of aging, we often don’t accept it. At age forty, most people feel simlar as they did at age thirty, or even age twenty. Facing hair loss, people may begin to feel foreign to themselves and somewhat disoriented. This discomfort results in a desire to return to the former, more youthful appearance. There are many cosmetic, medical, and surgical options for people who really want to do something about hair loss.The media especially television and film industry place emphasis on models and actors with long luscious hair. This portrays a feeling of hair being important to look great.
For some people, hair loss can be permanent or temporary. A wig can give us the image we want to see in the mirror. A wig can restore that self confidence and quality of life that we all strive for. If we look better then we feel better and no one has to know that we are wearing a wig.
These days there s a huge variety of wigs, hairpieces and extensions that can be very easy and comfortable to wear.
Our self Image is not just about vanity, it is important for our wellbeing, soul and mind. People want to look the way they feel. A man or woman at age forty doesn’t really expect to look twenty again, but increasingly more and more people want to keep a youthful appearance. Our hair frames our face, which powerfully gains our attention.
When we see a man with a few wispy strands of hair combed over in an attempt to cover the hair loss, it directs everyone’s attention to their hair loss. This makes the person feel very self conscious.
Our society tends to emphasis a need for youthful and attractive looks. The desire to look better and have a more pleasing appearance is also a normal human attitude. Undeniably, hair loss adds years to a person’s appearance. Hair loss represents to men what wrinkles do to women. And hair loss for women is even worse than wrinkles.
While men will argue that they are not worried about hair loss they would still wish for a little magic that would give them a full set of hair. In 1995, Sean Connery stated in an interview, “I don’t understand men who want hair transplants.” That same month, he was photographed going to a social event wearing a hairpiece.
The media, especially television and movies, continue to place enormous emphasis on models, actors, and actresses with hair.
Women portrayed in the media, and in advertisements for almost any product, generally have full heads of hair. Entire industries are dedicated to women’s hair care products and hair care styling services, all with the goal of helping women make the most of the hair they have. And for women that have hair, there is an emphasis for their hair to look its best. This is why hair extensions have become very popular for women who have some hair but would like longer more luscious looking hair. Men’s magazines rarely display a man with thinning hair, and almost never one who is bald. When the media displays an image of a desirable macho man, he is shown with a full head of hair.
Hair extensions, a hairpiece or wigs give men or women a confidence that that makes them look great and feel fantastic.
