What hair is best for me?
Hair is the most important factor in choosing a wig. It might surprise you to know that there are different types of hair, each with its own unique qualities and characteristics. If you decide you want a wig to closely match your bio hair, or have a particular 'look' you want to achieve, you’ll need to keep this in mind.
Hair Type
Asian Hair
The majority of human hair wigs are made from Asian hair, which is primarily sourced from China, Laos, Myanmar, and Mongolia. Asian women are known for their beautiful, dark, poker-straight, shiny strands. Asian hair is easily obtained and readily available, making it the number one hair type used to make wigs. Asian hair is coarser than the other hair types, meaning each individual strand is wider in diameter. Wigs made from Chinese hair have less movement but will hold more volume and style due to the nature of the hair.
Indian Hair
Another hair type used for making wigs is Indian hair. Women from India are admired all over the world for their soft, strong, lustrous locks, making it a popular choice for wigs. Indian hair has a medium texture with more body and movement than Asian hair. This hair type is naturally light and bouncy, and the resulting wigs are versatile and easy to style.
European Hair
The final type of hair used for making wigs is European hair. It's virtually impossible for manufacturers to source European hair nowadays, making it highly desired and therefore much more expensive than the other hair types. European hair originates from Eastern Europe - primarily Russia and Ukraine, where women are known for their silky, fine hair that has the smoothest of textures, a natural luster, and a vibrant shine.
Hair Quality
Hair type isn't the only thing to look at when choosing a wig. You'll also need to consider hair quality, which varies greatly in wigs. The very best human hair wigs are created from Remy hair that has the cuticles intact to create a beautiful, natural look and authentic movement. When hair is cut directly from the ponytail, the hair remains in a bundle, with each individual strand laying in the same 'root to tip' direction. These collection methods protect the integrity of the hair and wigs made using Remy hair have little to no tangling and matting when cared for properly. Remy hair is the gold standard when it comes to making wigs, and manufacturers treat it as such. It passes through fewer hands, requires minimal processing, and the beautiful qualities of the hair type are preserved. Wigs made from Remy hair are not mass-produced but handmade by skilled artisans who have spent years perfecting their craft.
In contrast to Remy hair, lower-quality hair is collected from hair brushes, showers, and swept up from the floor. Known as floor hair or waste hair, it requires more rigorous processing and intensive chemical treatments, than Remy hair. The chemical processes required to treat floor hair strip away the hair's natural beauty and the desirable qualities of the original hair are lost or compromised. Inferior in quality to Remy hair, wigs made from floor hair are quicker to mass-produce and come at a much lower price.
Remember, hair type, hair length, and quality will drive the overall cost of the wig so you will want to consider your budget in selecting a piece that’s right for you.
Which cap will fit me best?
A great-fitting cap with adjustable straps is the key to comfort and security when wearing your wig, so finding a comfortable and secure fit is an essential part of the process. Along with cap size, it’s also important to consider the front hairline, the top, and the back of the wig.
Basic Cap Measurements
To achieve an accurate fit, a cap must be sized correctly. While many brands carry limited sizing options and have a ‘one size fits all’ mentality, here at Daniel Alain we offer 6 cap sizes from XXXS to XL. It’s vitally important to take accurate measurements, and we recommend working with a brand that goes the extra mile by offering a ‘fitting system’, such as Daniel Alain’s Fit Kit. It’s a great idea to try on a range of cap sizes and wear them for a few hours so you can test their comfort levels over a period of time.
Front Hairline
If you desire a very natural hairline, a lace front wig is essential. The lace should be translucent and blend seamlessly with your natural skin tone. The very best wigs will be hand-tied, 1-2 hairs at a time, to give the appearance of the hairs growing right from the head.
Skin top, Lace top & Mono Part
A skin top, as seen on our Style and Chic wig collections here at Daniel Alain, is made by sewing a layer of lace to a layer of monofilament. A skin top mimics real skin and will give you a true-to-scalp appearance. This option is best if you want the most natural, perfect-looking part.
A lace top is thinner than a skin top and allows for breathability and helps keep you cool under the wig, but won’t give you the appearance of a natural part. Both our René and Pixie wig collections feature a lace top. When the hair on a lace top is parted, the lace will be visible and, if you look closely, it does not mimic the look of a real part line.
Hand Tied Vs Machine-Wefted
The back of the wig is important to consider if you have expectations of being able to style your wig with high ponytails, braids, and other up-dos. A hand-tied wig will offer the versatility of styling and will give the most natural movement to the hair. If you prefer to mostly wear your hair down, then a machine-weft back will work well for you.
Remember, you’ll also need to consider your bio hair when choosing the best wig cap for you. For example, if you have alopecia universalis or alopecia totalis, you’ll want to look for a cap that offers the most grip and security.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100% Human Hair Wig?
A 100% real human hair wig is made entirely from genuine human hair, with no synthetic fibers used in its construction. Instead, the hair is carefully collected from donors and tied to the cap to create a more natural look and feel. Just like biological hair, a 100% human hair wig can be straight, wavy, or curly, giving you the freedom to choose the texture that best suits your personal style.
How Can You Tell if a Wig is 100% Human Hair?
Most wigs will be properly labeled as either synthetic or 100% human hair. However, if you want to be extra sure you're getting a human hair wig, it should:
-
be soft and have a natural shine, while synthetic will look plastic and fake.
-
will still feel the same weight and even curl when exposed to water while synthetic wigs will feel heavier and fail to retain their shape when wet.
-
will be able to be styled with hot tools like curling irons and straighteners, while synthetic wigs will melt when exposed to heat.
What is the Most Natural Looking Wig?
Without a doubt, wigs with a lace front are among the most natural looking wigs on the market. The lace front creates an undetectable hairline that looks just like your own, while silky European hair moves and flows naturally. Many of today's best human hair wigs also offer customization, allowing you to wear the hair straight or style it to suit your preferences. To see the different collections, colors, and lengths available, browse our collections displayed on our website.
How Can You Tell a Good Quality Wig?
A good quality wig is made with genuine human hair and features a premium cap construction, such as a lace front, rather than a basic cap. The hair should feel soft and silky with a natural shine, whether you choose a straight, wavy, or curly texture. While a synthetic lace front wig may offer a realistic appearance at a lower price point, a high-quality human hair wig typically provides greater styling versatility, longer-lasting durability, and a more natural look and feel.
Are Lace Front or Full Lace Wigs Better?
It depends on your preferences! Both lace front and full lace wigs have a natural-looking hairline. However, full lace wigs are harder to put on and usually require the help of a stylist to achieve a seamless look.
Lace front wigs are a bit easier to wear and can be put on without assistance.
How are 100% Human Hair Wigs Made?
The first step in creating a 100% real human hair wig is to collect the hair from donors. At Daniel Alain, we source our strands from the world's only and largest private reserve in Europe.
Once the hair is ready, it's time to hand-tie it to the lace front cap. This process is very delicate and requires a great deal of skill. After the wig is complete, it's cut and styled to your specifications so you can wear it right out of the box.
How Much Does a 100% Human Hair Wig Cost?
Prices at Daniel Alain range from around $3000 and up. While this cost may seem like a lot up front, remember that the best quality 100% human hair wigs are an investment into confidence and your future self. We offer free Fit Kits and monthly payment plans to make purchasing your wig as easy and stress-free as possible.
How Long Do 100% Human Hair Wigs Last?
How long a human hair wig will last depends on how often it's worn (along with how well it's cared for). Daily wear will cause the hair to tangle and shed more quickly, while infrequent wear will protect the piece and allow it to last longer.
Generally speaking, you can expect a 100% human hair wig to last anywhere from 2 to 4 years with proper care and maintenance.
How Do You Maintain a Human Hair Wig?
The longevity of a human hair wig depends on both its quality and how well it's taken care of. Protect it from damage with proper brushing (wide-tooth combs only), and washing with sulfate free shampoo and hydrating conditioner will help extend the life of your wig. We recommend leaving your piece to air dry overnight, and always use a high quality heat protectant to protect from heat damage when styling with a curling wand.
With proper care, Daniel Alain's wigs have lasted some of our customers up to 10 years long!
How Long Can You Keep a 100% Human Hair Wig On?
As long as you like—100% real human hair lace front wigs are designed to exude both style and comfort. So feel free to wear yours all day, every day!
Of course, we do recommend ways to protect your wig from unnecessary damage. Sleeping in a wig can cause matting, tangling, and breakage. When you're not wearing your wig, be sure to store it on a wig stand or mannequin head to help keep its shape.
What is the Best Wig Brand?
Buying your first (or even your fifth) wig is a big decision. You want to be sure you're getting the best quality wig possible so it will last you a long time and look great.
When you buy a wig from Daniel Alain, you know you're getting a high-quality piece. Our wigs are made with only the finest European human hair and each strand is hand-tied to a comfortable lace front cap.
Plus, our wig makers have years of experience and take great pride in their workmanship. That means you can be confident you're getting a wig that looks and feels natural and will last you for years to come.
If you're looking for the best 100% human hair wigs, shop Daniel Alain today. You won't be disappointed.
What Are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?
While human hair wigs are far better quality than synthetic wigs, not all human hair is created equal. There are five different types of strands you'll find in 100% real human hair lace front wigs.
European Hair
Easily the rarest and most sought-after, European hair is commonly used in the best quality 100% human hair wigs. It's soft, silky, and has a natural sheen that looks just like your own hair.
Because it's so rare, European hair is also the most expensive type of human hair used in wigs. But if you're looking for a wig that looks and feels like your own hair, it's worth the investment.
Indian Hair
Indian hair is the second most popular type of human hair used in wigs. It's known for being strong, durable, and easy to style. Offering more volume and texture than European hair, it's a great choice if you're looking for a fuller look.
Asian Hair
Asian hair is similar to Indian hair in that it's strong and durable. But it tends to be thinner and harder to maintain style.
Also, there are a lot of unsavory collection practices for Asian hair—sweeping it off the floor, pulling it out hairbrushes, etc.—so use caution if you're considering these wig styles.
Virgin Hair
Virgin hair is hair that has not been chemically treated, dyed, or styled in any way. It's the most expensive—and the hardest to find. Because it's so rare, be wary of anyone who is claiming to sell virgin hair wigs.
Remy Hair
Remy hair refers not to the location where the strands were sourced, but rather how they were sourced. Remy hair is collected in a way that keeps the cuticles intact, which results in softer, shinier, and less tangly hair.
