Whats the difference between synthetic and human hair (and what are the benefits of each)?
Synthetic hair (also known as acrylic or monofibre hair) is made from man-made fibres, is significantly less durable and malleable than human hair but does not react adversely to wind displacement. Heat cannot be applied and the fibers do not absorb water. These are not necessarily drawbacks though because it means that styles are not permanently affected by damp or wet conditions and curls snap back into place after exposure to strong winds. If you are looking for a ready-made style (akin to wearing a hat) and do not want to spend any time whatsoever on styling, then opt for synthetic hair.
