If it's opulence and seamless coverage you crave, Grandeur’s your ideal match.
“I had a stem cell transplant 10 years ago to beat my fight with cancer and I won. But chemotherapy drugs ravaged my hair and I lost a lot of it and it thinned. I felt depressed looking at myself in the bathroom mirror. Now, I wear my [Grandeur] wig daily and it makes me feel alive again. No one has ever said I am wearing a wig. You can’t put a price on well-being.” —Jeffery Bailey, real Daniel Alain customer
Style
The Style wig is superbly voluminous — think Jessica Alba’s magnificent, textured hair at any length. Dreaming of a pompadour ponytail or elegant oomph for your side part? You can have it all with the Style, where every strand boasts sky-high volume.
If you’re worried about others noticing your wig, the style gives you premium coverage. It even has a temple-to-temple lace front with baby hairs to mimic your genuine hairline.
You can boost the volume no matter what stage of hair loss you’re experiencing. Here’s what our Follea Friend, Jen, has to say about her gorgeous Macchiato-colored Style wig:
“I made the choice to wear wigs before my hair loss got too severe. I had control over when I wanted to wear wigs and how I wanted to start the process.”

Gripper Actif
Some of our clients with total hair loss are terrified of their wig slipping or falling off. We hear you, that’s why we created the Gripper Actif. Is it possible to find wigs that look like real hair that stay gripped to your scalp?
The Gripper Actif was designed for women with total hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Most Realistic-Looking Wig?
Any of Daniel Alain’s Follea collection wigs are realistic looking. With hand-tied lace caps and 100% European human hair, each wig promises undetectability and style.
How Do I Find a Real-Looking Wig?
Daniel Alain offers seven real-looking wigs in our Follea collection. Browse the collection online, or chat with one of our stylists to learn more about your options!
Are Real-Looking Wigs Expensive?
Yes, the most realistic-looking wigs will cost much more than your average machine-made, synthetic wig. But they are a worthwhile investment. Quality construction and premium hair make for a long-lasting, refined, beautiful, and comfortable wig.
What are Real-Looking Wigs Made Out Of?
The most real-looking wigs are made of the highest quality hair, ideally 100% premium European hair. When shopping for realistic wigs, look for intact cuticles, high-quality manufacturing, and traceable origins for the hair. Additionally, wigs with lace fronts often look the most genuine.
Can You Tell if Someone Wears a Wig?
It depends on the quality of the wig. For example, our voluminous Style wig is 100% hand-tied and features little baby hairs to mimic your natural hairline. The result? A virtually undetectable wig.
However, some wigs look obvious on the wearer, specifically machine-made or synthetic ones. Another tell-tale sign that someone is wearing a wig is the hairline position. Our free Fit Kit is a great way to help you visualize where your hairline should start.
Are Human Hair Wigs Better than Synthetic?
Human hair wigs look far more realistic than synthetic wigs. The hair has better, more natural movement. However, not all human hair wigs are created equally.
If the human hair used in your wig is waste hair — much of the Asian wig market’s hair, collected from bathrooms and hairdresser floors — it might not look as genuine. Furthermore, synthetic wigs feel lighter and consequently more comfortable, but at the expense of quality and detectability.
How Long Do Real Looking Wigs Last?
If your realistic-looking wig is made with quality labor and materials, it’ll last you 1-10 years. To ensure it lasts on the higher end, proper wig care is paramount. Make sure you wash your wig properly and minimize heat styling to lengthen your wig’s life.
How Do You Maintain a Real Looking Wig?
Here are some tips for maintaining your wig:
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Steer clear of parabens, alcohols, and sulfates. Talk to one of our stylists for shampoo and conditioner recommendations for your human hair wig.
- Wash your wig: You’re dealing with human hair, which can get greasy and sweaty just like bio hair. Our advice? Wash your wig once a week if you wear it every day.
- No swimming: Always take your wig off before you hop in the pool. Hanging out above the surface is OK if you have a shorter style, but we recommend you remove it entirely, just in case.
- Use a mannequin: When you’re not wearing your wig, let it relax on a mannequin instead of stuffing it in the closet.

What are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?
There are various types of human hair wigs, including:
European Hair
Craving the utmost elegance and quality? A European human hair wig is your top choice. European hair is known as the highest-quality hair for human hair wigs because it is:
- Sleek
- Silky-Smooth
- Fine (delicate, but not weak)
- Sourced with the cuticle intact
All of these goodies make European hair extremely rare. That’s why Daniel Alain’s wigs are so coveted. Daniel Alain owns the only private reserve of 100% premium European hair in the world.
Indian Hair
Indian hair is known for its lustrous shine and simultaneous durability and makes for some of the most voluminous wigs available. However, these wigs aren’t always the most realistic looking. Indian hair is fantastic when sourced with the cuticle intact; however, most of the market’s Indian hair is waste hair.
Asian Hair
Asian hair refers to hair sourced from various parts of Asia, like:
- Indonesia
- India
- Pakistan
- Laos
- Cambodia
- China
- Thailand
Each one boasts unique attributes. For example, Indonesian hair is notoriously lightweight and silky, while Thai hair is often long, dark, and heavy. Unfortunately, most wigs made with Asian hair aren’t of the highest quality because much of the Asian hair market is filled with waste hair.
Virgin Hair
Do you know anyone that hasn’t dyed or used chemical treatments on their hair? Neither do we. It’s almost impossible to find such hair, let alone in wholesale quantities for a wig manufacturer.
Virgin hair is hair that’s never been treated or colored and still has the cuticle intact. A virgin European hair wig would be the creme de la creme of wigs, but always be wary when a provider promises one.
Remy Hair
Remy is the next best thing to virgin hair. Remy describes hair that’s sourced directly from ponytail donors, which means it has the cuticle intact. The best human hair wigs have virgin or Remy (ponytail) hair.
