5 Pain Points About Afro Natural Hair Wigs
- They can be expensive.
- They can be hard to find in stores.
- They can be difficult to style.
- They can be hot and uncomfortable to wear.
- They can be damaged easily.
Shedding
Shedding is wig hair coming loose and falling out, resulting from poor-quality hair or wrong maintenance. To avoid excessive shedding, care for your wig with the right maintenance routine like washing the wig, detangling it, and storing it properly when not in use.
Tangling
Unlike straight hair, afro natural hair tends to tangle and mat easily due to its coarse texture. To prevent tangling, use wide-tooth combs, detangling sprays, and deep conditioners to keep the hair moisturized and reduce friction.
Cost
Afro natural hair wigs can be more expensive than synthetic wigs due to the higher quality and rarity of the hair. However, their natural appearance, durability, and versatility make them worth the investment.

| West Kiss | $200-$500 |
| Sensationnel | $150-$300 |
| Outre | $100-$250 |
Comfort
While wigs made from natural hair can be more comfortable than synthetic wigs, they still require proper maintenance to avoid causing discomfort. Ensure the wig cap fits snugly yet comfortably, and avoid wearing the wig for extended periods without breaks.
Durability
Afro natural hair wigs are more durable than synthetic wigs as the hair is less prone to breakage and heat damage. However, proper care, including gentle washing, careful brushing, and avoiding excessive heat styling, is crucial to maintain their longevity.
