They don't last as long as the synthetic ones. The quality of the hair isn't that great either. They get weave poof (sometimes fresh out the pack) and don't hold the style as well, IMO. If you get caught out in the rain or something, it's gonna fall. And it's gonna be hard to get it back the way it was. They also shed more (with daily wear) so it'll thin out considerably if you plan on wearing it for an extended period of time. When they thin out too much, you can see the tracks. I don't see the point in spending $50-$80 on a wig that I have to do all that to when I can buy a synthetic one for $20 and pop it on and go. The point of the wig is to give your hair a rest right. Who wants to be washing, flat ironing, curling, etc on a wig when they're supposed to be giving their hair a break? That's too much unnecessary work. And the cheap hair isn't gonna hold up for all of that either. After a while it's gonna be a frizzy tangled mess. I just feel like I get more for my money out of the synthetic ones. I would feel guilty about throwing an $80 wig in the trash. A $20 one that I wore over and over, not so much.
