Why is there such a big difference in quality and price for the same human hair wigs? 

It is mainly due to the following aspects:

Base structure and material quality - Wig bases come in many materials, commonly MONO (3# mesh), 60# mesh, 0.10 mesh, imported Swiss mesh etc. These different materials vary in price. In addition, manual cutting, arching, shaping, applying glue, machining and other production processes require craftsmanship. Intricate and neat production without glue lines, broken meshes etc. take into account many factors like complicated base production processes.

Hair materials - Currently there are diverse wig hair options, including Chinese hair (Yunnan, Sichuan), foreign hair (India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, North Korea etc.). Domestic braided hair: Chinese and Vietnamese hair is relatively expensive but the quality is good. This type of hair has pure colors, even thickness, obedient texture. Properly handled, the hair is smooth as silk. It doesn’t discolor, dry out or tangle for long term wear. Hair quality is generally categorized into braided hair, cut hair, fallen hair - prices descend accordingly. Good real hair materials are deservedly called soft gold.

Hand weaving craft - Hand weaved wigs are hooked strand by strand onto the base manually. This requires excellent craftsmanship. Generally good hand weaving has neat and small uniform knots for high aesthetic. The knots are barely detectable up close. A good wig takes 2-5 days for a worker to complete, so labor cost is high.

In summary, the quality and price gap for the same human hair wig mainly comes from base materials, hair sources, intricate hand crafting processes and high labor cost. These all contribute to differences in longevity, comfort, natural look and overall value.
