Why Do Human Hair Wigs and Toppers Cost More?

Clients today are savvy and discerning. When they invest in a human hair wig or topper, they expect quality and longevity. As salon professionals, it's crucial to understand—and be able to explain—why certain pieces command a higher price tag.

To help you confidently address those concerns and educate your clients, we're diving deep into the factors that influence the cost of human hair wigs and toppers. Our CEO, James, explains it in this informative video.

Here's a breakdown of the factors that contribute to the cost of premium human hair solutions:

  1. The Gold Standard: Remy Human Hair

Remy hair sits at the top tier of human hair quality. What sets it apart?

  • Cuticle Alignment: Remy hair is carefully collected to ensure all cuticles remain intact and face the same direction. This meticulous process prevents tangling, frizz, and matting, resulting in a smoother, more natural look and feel.
  • Enhanced Durability: The aligned cuticles also make Remy hair more durable and less prone to damage, extending its lifespan significantly.
  • Styling Versatility: Remy hair behaves much like your client's own hair, allowing for heat styling, coloring, and a wider range of hairstyles.
  1. Length and Density: The Luxury Factors
  • Longer Lengths: Longer hair is rarer and requires more raw material, which naturally increases the cost.
  • Higher Density: Density refers to the amount of hair per square inch. A higher density wig or topper looks fuller and more voluminous but requires more hair and intricate construction, adding to the price.
  1. The Craftsmanship Factor: Handmade vs. Machine-Made

The construction of the base significantly impacts the price and the overall look of the wig or topper.

  • Handmade Excellence: Hand-tied wigs and toppers, particularly those with monofilament or French top features, involve meticulous hand-knotting of each individual hair strand. This labor-intensive process creates a more natural look, allows for multi-directional parting, and enhances styling versatility.
  • Machine-Made Affordability: Machine-made options utilize wefts (strips of sewn hair) and are generally more affordable. However, they may lack the natural appearance and styling freedom of handmade pieces.

The Investment Pays Off: Why Premium Matters

Ultimately, investing in high-quality human hair wigs and toppers offers numerous benefits for your clients:

  • Unparalleled Naturalness: Premium pieces blend seamlessly with natural hair, providing an undetectable and confidence-boosting solution.
  • Styling Freedom: Clients can enjoy the versatility of styling their hair as they desire, with options for heat styling, coloring, and updos.
  • Longevity: With proper care, premium human hair wigs and toppers can last for years, making them a worthwhile investment in the long run.

Why It Matters

By understanding these factors, you can confidently guide your clients towards the best hair solution for their needs and budget. Explain the value of Remy hair, the impact of length and density, and the difference between handmade and machine-made construction. Transparency and knowledge will build trust and ensure client satisfaction.
