lassification of Wigs 2
Wigs fall under the hair product industry within the light manufacturing sector. The hair product industry is subdivided into: craft hairpieces, men’s hairpieces, women’s wigs, training heads, and synthetic fiber hair. Wigs are categorized by material into: human hair, synthetic fiber, and human hair blended with synthetic fiber.
By Material
Wigs are classified by material into synthetic fiber strands and real human hair. Synthetic fiber wigs are made from artificial fibers. They lack realism, may cause itching when worn, and can irritate the scalp. However, they are affordable and hold their style well. Human hair wigs are crafted from treated, genuine human hair. They offer high realism, resist tangling, and can be chemically treated, dyed, or permed for versatile styling. They are more expensive and hold their style less effectively.
By Coverage Area
By coverage area: full wigs and hairpieces. Full wigs cover the entire head, offering easy wear, secure fit, and broad applicability. Hairpieces can be custom-made in various shapes and sizes to suit specific needs, providing high flexibility, exceptional realism, and good breathability.
By Manufacturing Method
By manufacturing method: machine-woven hairpieces and hand-tied hairpieces. Machine-woven hairpieces are produced by machines. Typically mass-produced, they are inexpensive but lack realism, are heavier, have poor breathability that can clog hair follicles, and are prone to tangling. Hand-tied hairpieces are crafted entirely by hand, offering high realism, excellent breathability, and comfortable wear, but at a higher price point.

Craftsmanship classifications include: fully hand-woven, fully machine-made wigs, semi-machine-made wigs, full lace wigs, Jewish wigs, front lace wigs, hairpieces, and lace wigs.
