What is a "wig"?

A wig is a hairpiece that is worn on the head to cover baldness, enhance appearance, or change one's hairstyle temporarily. It is typically made from synthetic fibers or natural hair and is designed to mimic natural hair growth. Wigs come in various styles, colors, and lengths, allowing individuals to experiment with different looks without permanently altering their natural hair. They provide a convenient and versatile solution for those seeking to enhance their personal style, disguise hair loss, or create a dramatic transformation. Wigs are widely used in personal care to enhance self-confidence and achieve desired aesthetics with ease.
