Short answer: 100% human hair wigs look the most natural, can be heat-styled and coloured, and last the longest, but cost the most. Semi-human (human-hair blend) wigs mix human hair with fibre for a softer look at a lower price. Heat-resistant fibre wigs are the most affordable, hold their style out of the box and are easiest to maintain.
