Wigs
In many cases wigs deserve their bad reputation. In many cases they are not designed, manufactured, or styled to the highest standards. Unfortunately this is a business where you only are able to notice the bad specimens, as the good examples are never spotted. Continental Hair has worked hard to make sure that our wigs are of the highest quality. We mean this in terms of design, manufacture, and styling.
In terms of design and manufacture, most of our wigs are hand made. Being knotted by hand gives them a much more natural appearance in terms of amount of hair in the cap as well as how the hair moves when the wig is worn. It also translates into better comfort, being lighter and cooler that wigs that are made by machine. Whether the hair is natural or synthetic hand knotting makes a huge difference.
Synthetic Hair Wigs
The synthetic hair that we choose is of a higher quality that you would see in a department store or catalogue. What we do is make wigs that we call 'medical quality', leaving others to provide what we call 'fashion wigs'. Medical wigs, especially made with synthetic hair, are a huge improvement over machine made fashion wigs. The cap fits the shape of a head that has little or no hair, even the materials used in the construction are designed to not irritate a sensitive scalp.

Human Hair Wigs
In the area of human hair wigs however, we are the most proud. Our virgin European hair is unmatched anywhere. Most wigs use processed human hair from China. The hair must be stripped of the cuticle and bleached in a rather nasty chemical process. 'Virgin' hair from Europe has not been. It is softer and lighter, with a more natural colour and depth of tone, and has much more strength than processed hair. It is simply beautiful.

Human & Synthetic Blend Wigs
There are wigs available that are 'blends' of human hair and synthetic. Continental Hair has not carried any of these to date as we have not seen any that meet our standards. The ones that we have examined are made with not so good synthetic hair, mixed with processed Chinese hair, machine made into a very large cap.
Styling
A wig in the end has to be styled. Just like something off the rack it has to be tailored to you. A good stylist can make any wig look good - for a while. But a stylist not experienced with wigs can make the most beautiful work of are look horrible. Styling your wig is important, and that is why we have Corale Toledo & Jennifer Campo at our main salon, and Emma Suba, at our hospital salon, to ensure your wig looks great.
