The good news wigs  is that there are quality wigs available at every price point. Whether you are shopping for a long, luxurious, human hair wig that will provide superior comfort and appearance or a low-cost synthetic wig to try out new looks for fun or Halloween costumes, there is a piece that fits your budget and lifestyle.

A few main things determine how much a quality wig costs. The first factor is the type of hair used. High-quality virgin European hair is the most expensive option, but it is worth the investment for its natural look and feel that synthetic wigs can’t match. Processed European hair is a slightly less expensive choice that has undergone gentle treatment but still offers superior quality and durability.

Another factor is the density of the wig or topper. The higher the density, the more hair is used per square inch and therefore, the more expensive the wig.

Lastly, the cap construction plays a role in how much a wig costs. Hand-tied caps, which require a significant amount of time and labor to hand-tie each individual hair to the soft, flexible cap, are more costly than closed or open wefted caps.

Keep in mind that medical wigs designed for people with alopecia, chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and other conditions may qualify for health insurance coverage. Check your policy and speak with your doctor or health care provider to find out if you are eligible for coverage. If you are, be sure to include a written prescription from your doctor and medical documentation supporting your condition when sending the paperwork to the insurance company to increase your chances of approval.
