What are the Best Long Wigs for Women?

Print/Save as PDF

Not all of us were blessed with lengthy manes. If you've ever dreamed of Cher's wild waves or yearned for a ponytail like Ariana Grande, you're not alone—long hair is always having a moment.

 

But growing out your tresses is like a full-time job. We've all tried the messy oils, expensive supplements, and time-consuming routines that barely result in an extra inch. Sure, extensions exist. But they're pricey, and the constant upkeep can be damaging to both your strands and your wallet.

 

So allow us to share the good news: you don't have to wait years or go through the painstaking process of extensions to enter your Rapunzel era. You can get long, gorgeous hair overnight (literally). All you have to do is rock a gorgeous wig.

 

Not just any 'ole wig will do. You want the best of the best, right? Then you'll want to set your sights on long human hair wigs. These pieces are made with real human hair, which offers more style, versatility, durability, and realism than those synthetic numbers. Plus, they can be heat-styled and colored just like your own hair, so you're not stuck with one look.

 

If you're ready to take the plunge, you're in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much is a Long Hair Wig?

A wig's cost depends on the materials used, the manufacturing process, and the length and style of the wig. In general, long hair wigs are more expensive than short wigs because they use more hair.

 

At Daniel Alain, our long wigs are made with the highest quality of European hair and start at $2,391 for a 10-inch and go up to $11,934 for a 16-inch. We offer monthly payment plans to break up the cost and make the wigs more accessible.

What is the Longest Wig You Can Get?

Some brands offer insane levels of length—we're talking up to 40 inches—but most will go up to 14 or 16. Because it becomes more difficult to find good-quality long hair that hasn't been super processed, the longer the wig, the higher the price. So, if you're looking for something on the more affordable end, 10-12 inches is probably your best bet.

What Kind of Wig Looks Most Natural?

If you want a natural-looking wig, stick to human hair wigs that have a hand-tied construction and a lace front. Human hair is understandably more realistic looking than synthetic fibers, and a hand-tied, lace front cap mimics the way hair grows out of your scalp for an incredibly convincing result.

What Wig Brand is the Best?

The best wig brand is the one that offers the style, color, length, and construction you're looking for at a price you're comfortable with. With that being said, Daniel Alain offers some of the best long wigs for women on the market, thanks to our exclusively sourced European strands from the world's only private reserve. Pair our premium tresses without expert construction, and you've got a wig that's unrivaled in both quality and luxury. Click here to browse our collection.

What is the Easiest Wig to Wear?

The easiest wig to wear is one that's comfortable, breathable, and light. A good rule of thumb is to look for wigs made with hand-tied caps—these are wigs where each individual strand of hair is tied by hand to the cap. This results in a lighter, more comfortable wig that's less likely to cause irritation or trap heat.

Is it Bad to Wear a Wig Every Day?

No! You can totally wear a wig every single day if that's what you prefer. Just make sure to take it off at night before you go to sleep to give your scalp a break and prevent any potential breakage. Following that and other maintenance practices will keep your wig looking fresh and fine even with daily wear.

How Long Can You Wear a Wig?

You can wear your wig every day if that's what suits you. So long as you take regular care of it and give your scalp a break every evening, there's no limit to how long you can keep your wig looking fabulous. Just keep in mind that daily wear will cause your wig to age faster.

Are Human Hair Wigs Better than Synthetic?

Both wig types serve different purposes. Synthetic wigs are great for a night out on the town or a special event where you want a specific style or color that might be hard to achieve with your natural hair. They're also usually less expensive than human hair wigs. That being said, human hair wigs are the more realistic option and can be styled just like your own hair. They're ideal for people who plan on wearing a wig every day and want a natural look.

What are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?

Beyond the world of human hair and synthetic, wigs can also be categorized by their hair type. There are five different types of human hair used in wigs.

European Hair

Everyone wants a European hair wig, and when you see one in person, you understand why. The hair is sleek, shiny, and full of body. It's the best quality money can buy but also the most expensive.

Indian Hair

Indian hair wigs are a popular choice because they offer a nice balance between quality and price. It offers a lot more texture and volume than you'll find in most European wigs, and it can be styled in a variety of ways. But sourcing high-quality hair that hasn’t been damaged through the production process can be a challenge.

Asian Hair

Asian hair is a lot like Indian hair in terms of thickness and coarseness. While it can make a great wig, shoppers must be wary of some unsavory collection practices that use waste hair from floors and drains. Be sure to vet your sources to make sure they're ethical.

Virgin Hair

Virgin hair is unprocessed hair that's never been dyed or treated in any way. It's the most natural option available, but it's also the hardest to find and the most expensive. Don't be fooled by companies that try to sell you "affordable virgin" hair—it's not a thing.

Remy Hair

Remy hair is the gold standard in human hair wigs. It's real human hair that's been collected from a single donor and kept intact throughout the manufacturing process. This means all the strands run in the same direction, which results in a wig that's less likely to tangle or mat.
