We believe that many people will have this question: should I buy wigs online, or directly in the store? This question seems to be difficult to answer, and it has always puzzled people, today we wanna to show our suggestions to you guys.

1. Buying wigs from online shops.

1.1 Advantages
Very convenient
Convenience is one of the reasons why people buy wigs online. As opposed to buying wigs in stores, you can pick out your favorite wig online in just a few minutes, as long as you have a clear goal in mind because you can save time spent on the road. The best part about online shopping is that you can buy wigs whenever and wherever you need them.

Online stores make  “spend less money on their own favorite wigs” possible. Because some products come directly from the manufacturer or seller, there is no middleman to make the difference.
In addition, you can usually find some attractive discount coupons and specials online. Consequently, compared to buying a wig in a store, buying a wig online will be lower.

More variety
No matter what texture, length, hair density, and color you want, online shopping will meet your needs. Because the space of the online store is not as limited as the physical store. Also, if you don't find a wig that suits you, you can even tell the seller what you want and they can design it for you.

1.2 Shortcomings
May cause an allergic reaction
One of the biggest problems with buying wigs online is that your scalp may have an allergic reaction to the material of the wig. 

Can not enjoy the joy of wearing a wig in time
Not being able to enjoy the joy of wearing a wig in time is also one of the disadvantages of buying wigs online. Because it can take a few days between when you pay and when you receive the wig, this may make people who don't like to wait and want to enjoy the wig color right away unhappy. In addition, the arrival time of wigs may change due to other reasons such as the epidemic.

2. Buying wigs from your local store

2.1 Advantages
You can make sure the hair quality before buying
Guaranteed product quality is one of the biggest advantages of buying wigs in the store. Because when you buy a wig in the store, you can observe and feel the material of the wig up close. If the material of the wig is good and it is comfortable to wear, then you will buy it. However, if the wig is of poor quality, then you can simply not buy it.
Unlike buying wigs online, if you buy back and find that the material is not what you want, you still need to spend time returning it yourself.

You can choose a wig that suits you better
There are many kinds of wigs on the Internet, which may make you pick up your eyes and end up unable to choose the right wig. However, this is not the case with buying wigs in stores, as in most stores they have trained professionals who can help you recommend and find the best wig for you based on your requirements.
What's more, you'll be able to get a wig that matches your hair color exceptionally well and can give you a particularly natural look.

2.2 Shortcomings
Higher price
The relatively higher price is the biggest disadvantage of buying wigs in stores. Because these products are not directly from the dealer, there may be middlemen to make the difference. In addition, brick-and-mortar wig shops may have to pay high rent and labor costs, forcing them to charge higher prices for wigs.

Inconvenient
Inconvenience is also one of the downsides of buying wigs in stores. Office workers, may not have much time to go shopping and buy wigs in stores, not to mention, they may have to drive far away to find wig stores. So it's especially inconvenient compared to buying wigs online.

All in all, there isn't a 100% accurate answer that you should choose online hair shops or your local hair shops, you can decide according to your actual situation. If you want a wig very quick, you may need to buy wigs from your local hair store, but remember that many online hair shops have expedited shipping service for wigs, if you are worried about wigs from online shop may not suit you, you can also search more hair videos from IG or Youtube to see the shop's hair first.
