In these cases, it is always better to use a partial or does it have advantages to shave everything and opt for a total hair system? The answer is not simple and depends on many variations, here we are going to express some ideas that we think will help several decide the best option for your case.

What Are The Advantages Of Using A Full Hair Wig Compared To A Partial Wig?

1 - Hair color and waving: in the partial hair wig you need to be very careful to take a system that has a hair color identical to the native hair and that has the same ripple, in many cases it is simple, but for those who have colored a little different from the norm it becomes more complicated, even in the case of very curly hair or with a special wave.

In the full-hair wig, this problem is completely solved, since totally changing there is no need to perfectly combine hair color or ripple.

2 - Change the color of the hair over time: this is one of the most important factors in the case of partial hair wigs, in fact over time they change color (they tend to oxidize and become reddish or lose color) and there are people with hair of different colors; In total hair prostheses, this problem is completely solved, since even if the hair oxidizes or becomes lighter nothing happens since all the hairs of all the head do.

3 - Retraction of totals, the difference of density ': in partial wig often the wearer has lateral or slightly dense sides so he is forced to order a partial hair with little dense hair or fins ... In the total wig, this problem is completely solved since you can choose any density.

4 - Guess the percentage of whites: In people, who use partial hair wigs, another important element is to ask for a partial prosthesis that has the same percentage of whites on the side and back, which does not matter with full hair wig.

To read these 4 points, everyone might think that the best option is a total hair wig, but it is not so, there are also some negative elements in the full hair wig compared to the partial one and here they are on the list.

1 - The price: the total hair prosthesis costs more than the partial one, this is an important element that the user should consider, just as he should consider that he will spend more on maintenance since he will need to use more glue, more tapes and more solvents.

2 - Sleep: the total prosthesis, if you sleep with it, has more wear than the partial prosthesis, since we are going to rub the sides and back with the pillow.

3 - More complicated installation: the installation of a total hair wig is usually more complicated and longer than the installation of a partial one (in the vacuum wig there is no such problem, we refer to the lace wig with glues as glue to tapes).

4 - Most exposed perimeter - in a full hair wig you will not have to pay attention only to the frontal perimeter, but also to the side, which will make undetectability more at risk.
