Are you considering a new hairstyle but aren't sure whether to choose a wig or a weave? Both options offer unique benefits, and understanding their differences is crucial for making an informed decision.
Wig: A complete hairpiece designed to cover the entire head, giving the illusion of a full head of hair. Wigs are often made from synthetic fibers, human hair, or a combination of both.
Weave: A hair extension technique that involves braiding or sewing hair wefts into your natural hair. Weaves allow you to add length, volume, or color to your existing hair.
