Did you mean Synthetic Hair?

GlossarySynthetic Hair

man-made fibers designed to mimic natural human hair

Synthetic hair, also known as artificial hair or fake hair, is made from man-made fibers designed to mimic the appearance and texture of natural human hair. These fibers are typically composed of materials like acrylic, polyester, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and are often used in wigs, hair extensions, and hairpieces. While synthetic hair is generally more affordable and easier to maintain than natural hair, it lacks the versatility of human hair in terms of styling options, such as heat styling and dyeing.
