Synthetic hair usually falls into two groups:
Kanekalon hair: is 100% synthetic fiber called Kanekalon. This is one of the most revered synthetic hair for braiding and the making of wigs. Its is flame-retardant/ non-flammable and quite affordable.
Toyokalon hair: is 100% synthetic fiber named Toyokalon. This is the lowest and cheapest grade of synthetic fiber that is often used for the making of braids and fake/costume wigs.
Synthetic hair lace wigs are nowadays very affordable and with improved durability and texture. The manufacturers of synthetic lace wig units have invested in perfection of the cap construction and hair texture of the fiber. Often times the synthetic lace wigs are as soft and silky in touch as the human hair lace units. The only disadvantage of synthetic lace wigs as with most synthetic products is: shine. If a customer chooses a very dark color (black or off black) it is very likely the wig will appear shiny. To offset the shine, customer may use talk, baby powder or corn starch which will dull the shine away.
