10 Reasons Why Hair Transplant Surgery is Better Than Wearing a Wig!
1. A wig gives a constant feeling of weight and discomfort in hot days.
2. Sweat cannot be cleaned properly and bad hygiene can lead to skin problems.
3. The wig’s fixing methods like weaving, bonding, pinning etc. can exert a pull on
the natural remaining hair, add to further hair loss and can even lead to scarring.
4. Wigs give a same look at all times which looks unnatural and feels artificial. You
have a “fixed hair style” all hours of use.
5. Wigs are highly detectable and become a butt of jokes and teasing by friends,
colleagues and media.
6. A Wig’s cost varies from Rs 2000 to Rs 3,00,000/- depending upon quality
7. These wigs need a regular maintenance every few weeks for the rest of your life.
Attachments may become loose. One might experience a constant state of low-
level “paranoia” and anxiety about it’s public discovery.
8. Long-term financial investment due to regular maintenance may exceed cost of a
hair transplant. The life time maintenance, a few monthly replacements, and
frequent visits to the wig maker becomes quite expensive.
9. You need to change the wig every few months.
10. Wigs are not “made” or sold by qualified surgeons practicing ‘Hair Transplants’.
