Why we've chosen to specialise in synthetic wigs

One of the questions we're often asked is why The Bald Box specialises in

synthetic wigs rather than human hair.


The answer is simple.


We've listened to hundreds of women experiencing hair loss and we've learned that,

for many, synthetic wigs offer the perfect balance of comfort, confidence, practicality

and value during treatment.

Our aim has always been to make wearing a wig feel like a choice, not a huge financial commitment.

For many women, it's their very first experience of wearing a wig. At that stage, you don't yet know whether you'll wear one every day, save it for special occasions or decide that a wig isn't for you at all.

Starting with a beautifully made, modern synthetic wig gives you the chance to discover what feels right for you, without spending hundreds or thousands of pounds.





If, later on, you decide you'd prefer a human hair wig, that option is always there.

But here's what we've found over the years... many of our customers are so pleased

with the comfort, natural look and ease of our premium synthetic wigs that they

simply stick with them.


Why we love them



  • Easy to care for as they hold their shape.

Simply wash, rinse, gently shake and leave to dry.

Synthetic fibres hold their style, even after washing, so with no styling required there's one less thing to think about. Human hair behaves just like your own hair, so it needs regular styling and care. During treatment, many women tell us they simply don't have the time or energy for

that.

  • Lightweight and breathable

Designed to feel comfortable, our wigs are lightweight with breathable caps that

many women find easy to wear throughout the day.

  • Easy to adjust for a secure fit

There’s no need for glue or adhesives. Our wigs have two simple adjustable straps

at the back, allowing you to tailor the fit so it feels secure, comfortable and just right

for you.

  • Beautifully natural

Synthetic fibres have come a long way. Modern wigs look incredibly realistic, with

natural movement, beautiful colour blends and soft fibres.

  • More affordable

Rather than making a large investment in one wig, many women appreciate being

able to choose an affordable style they love and can replace it if needed.

  • Easy to personalise

Your own hairdresser can trim the fringe or soften the layers to suit your face shape.

Because the investment is lower than with a human hair wig, many woman feel more comfortable making these adjustments to create a look that feels truly theirs.

  • They're loved by the women who wear them!

Time and time again we hear from women who tried human hair wigs but found

themselves reaching for their synthetic wig because it was lighter, easier to care for

and gave them the confidence they were looking for.

There isn't a right or wrong choice when it comes to wigs. Human hair is the perfect

option for some women, and synthetic is the perfect option for others.


At The Bald Box, we've chosen to specialise in synthetic wigs because we believe

they offer an affordable, modern, natural-looking and reassuring place to start.



Most importantly, they help many women regain confidence without adding extra worry or maintenance at a time when they already have enough to think about.

We believe the best wig is the one you feel comfortable wearing.


Have you worn a synthetic wig? We'd love to hear what you liked most about it

right for her.
