The Best Affordable Luxury Human Hair Wigs | Daniel Alain
When you wear a wig, you want to look like you just stepped off the red carpet—not like you're wearing a costume. While we all love a good bargain, "cheap" isn't the adjective you want to use to describe your hair. It goes without saying, but there's a big difference between cheap wigs and affordable wigs.
The artificial hair you'll find on big box sites for insanely low prices are often synthetic wigs. That means they're made of plastic fibers that look and feel nothing like real human hair. You can't expose those kinds of strands to any heat, so you're pretty much stuck with one style.
And undetectability is hard to achieve unless your wig is the real thing. The unnatural sheen and static electricity of synthetics tend to giveaway that your hair isn’t real. That’s not to say synthetic wigs aren’t worth it for occasional wear. It just helps to know the differences.
Affordable human hair wigs are another story. These are made with real human hair, which means they are much more life-like and manageable. You can style them any way you want with heat tools, and they will respond just like your natural hair would. But because they're so realistic, they're often priced much higher than most people can afford—until now.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Should I Pay for a Good Wig?
The price of a wig depends on a few factors, including the type of hair (real or synthetic), the quality of the hair, the length, and the style. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 for a good wig.
But because we know not everyone can afford to pay that much of a singular cost upfront, we offer monthly payment plans on all of our wigs to make them more accessible. You can get started with as little as $200 a month.
Are Human Hair Wigs or Synthetic Wigs Better?
It's really a matter of preference, use, and what you consider "better." In terms of looking natural and realistic, human hair wigs are superior. They move, bounce, and shine just like your own hair would. They can also be styled with heat tools, colored, and cut just like your natural hair.
The main downside to human hair wigs is that they require more upkeep than synthetic wigs. They need to be shampooed, conditioned, and styled regularly to keep them looking their best. Synthetic wigs, on the other hand, are lower maintenance and retain their style well. However, they don't look as natural, can't be styled with heat tools, and won't last as long.
If you want a high-quality wig you can wear every day, human hair is the way to go.
What is a Lace Front Wig?
A lace front wig is a wig that has a piece of lace at the front that covers the forehead. It usually goes temple to temple to mimic the hairline. The lace is usually made from a thin, sheer material like Swiss or French lace and is hand-tied to create the illusion of natural hair growth.
Affordable lace front wigs are popular because they look very natural. When done well, it's hard to tell that someone is wearing a wig at all.
What is the Most Affordable Wig for Beginners?
If you're new to wigs and aren't sure which style or type is right for you, we recommend starting with a lace front, human hair wig. They're easy to pull on, comfortable to wear all day, and can be styled to look like your natural hair. No crazy adhesives or special techniques required.
Are Affordable Wigs Still High-Quality?
Absolutely! You don't have to shell out thousands of dollars to get a high-quality wig. Some brands (like Daniel Alain) offer monthly payment plans so you can spread the cost out over time. As you're browsing affordable luxury wigs, just make sure you look for ones that are made with human hair (preferably European), have a hand-tied cap, and come with a lace front.
How Do I Get a Natural Looking Wig?
If you want a wig that looks like it could be your real hair, start by choosing a human hair wig that best resembles your natural hair. If you have curly hair, look for a curly wig. If you have straight hair, look for a straight wig. You can also ask your stylist to trim and style the wig so it better matches your natural hair.
Another thing to keep in mind is the color. If you want your wig to look as natural as possible, choose a color that closely resembles your own hair color. You can also ask your stylist to add highlights or lowlights to help blend the wig with your natural hair color.
Finally, make sure you choose a wig with a natural hairline. A lace front wig is a good option because it has a realistic hairline that looks like your own hair growing directly from your scalp.
How Long Does a Human Hair Wig Last?
The longevity of a wig depends on how often you wear it. If you wear your wig every day, you can expect it to last about 6 months to a year. If you only wear it occasionally, it could last 2 years or longer.
How well you take care of your wig also plays a role in how long it will last. Be sure to shampoo and condition your wig regularly, using products that are specifically designed for wigs. Avoid using heat tools on the wig as much as possible, and be gentle when brushing or styling it. These simple steps will help extend the life of your wig.
And finally, the quality of the wig also makes a huge difference. A high-quality wig made with human hair will last longer than a cheap, synthetic wig. Some Daniel Alain customers say their wigs have lasted almost ten years!
What is the Best Quality Wig Brand?
There are a lot of great wig brands out there, but our favorite is Daniel Alain. They offer luxury human hair wigs at an affordable price point thanks to their monthly payment plans and the quality of their pieces is unmatched. Gorgeous European hair, hand-tied caps and delicate Swiss lace fronts—what's not to love?
Is it OK to Wear a Wig Everyday?
Absolutely! When you have a quality wig that looks and feels like your own hair, there's no reason not to wear it every day. Just make sure you give your scalp a break in the evenings. Sleeping in a wig can damage the hair and cause tangles and matting, so it's best to take it off before bed.
Can You Shower with a Wig on?
Technically yes—but we don't recommend it. Wigs can get wet, but wearing them in the shower runs the risk of tangling the hair, matting the cap, and causing the wig to lose its shape.
Take it your wig off while you shower, and instead, wash your wig it on its own in a basin of water. Be sure to use wig-friendly shampoo and conditioner, and avoid rubbing the hair too vigorously. Gently squeeze out the water, and then lay the wig on a stand to air dry.
Where is the Best Place to Buy Affordable Wigs Online?
Finding affordable wigs online can be tricky, but our top pick is Daniel Alain. They offer a wide selection of luxury human hair wigs at different price points, so you're sure to find one that fits your budget. Plus, their monthly payment plans make it easy to spread the cost out over time.
What Are the Different Types of Human Hair Wigs?
Human hair wigs are differentiated by where (and sometimes how) the hair was sourced. Let's dive into the five different types.
European Hair
Characterized by its softness and silkiness, European hair is the most sought-after type of human hair for wigs. It's also the most expensive—but trust us, it's worth it. If you're looking for a wig that looks and feels just like your own hair, European hair wig is the way to go.
Indian Hair
More on the wavy and textured side, Indian hair is ripe with volume. It's also a bit more affordable than European hair, making it a great option if you're on a budget. Just know that you will get less of that softness.
Asian Hair
Asian hair is characterized by its thickness and straightness. Because it's so thick, it can be a bit more difficult to style. But it's one of the most affordable options out there, so it's worth considering if you're on a budget. Just be wary of wigs that are made with "waste hair."
Virgin Hair
Virgin hair is hair that has never been dyed, permed, or chemically treated in any way. It's the highest quality hair you can get, but it's pretty much impossible to find nowadays. Don't trust anyone that's selling virgin hair for a low price—it's probably too good to be true.
Remy Hair
Remy hair refers more to how the hair is cut and processed than where it's from. The cuticles are kept intact, which helps the hair keep its natural luster and prevents tangling.
