The head sweats under them, which makes the sock unbearable( especially in summer).To touch such a product is stiff and unnatural. It has a non-natural "puppet" shine. The tips of the hair are quickly confused and split. Strands are sewn with large scraps, the producers do not imitate the natural growth of the hairs.

Kanecalon wigs belong to the group of artificial, although this material is based on algae. Hair looks "alive" and elastic, the product has a natural look. It perfectly retains its shape in wet weather, but is afraid of sudden temperature changes. Only a wig made of heat-resistant fiber can withstand high temperatures.
