Whether you're straightening it, pinning it, twisting it or tying it up, hair can be super personal to you, and a major part of your identity. For women, hair can be connected to femininity and to your self-worth, so what happens when you lose it? For those losing hair due to alopecia, female pattern hair loss, autoimmune diseases, trauma or as a consequence of cancer treatments like chemotherapy, wigs, extensions and hair pieces can be a way to rebuild their relationship with their strands. "Wigs mean confidence," confirms Manav Mehra, the managing partner of Diva Divine Wigs. "The emotional aspects of living with hair loss can be challenging, so wigs hair pieces can help be a salve to that," he says.

But all wigs are not made equal. You don't want plastic-looking strands, or a wig that'll blow away or get knotted with the wind. "Wigs and hairpieces are either made of a synthetic fibre that is very low cost, or natural human hair which costs a lot more but has a natural look, and can be heat styled easily. The hair quality used on the wigs will greatly determine the look and the longevity," says Mehra. "The wig should feel natural and comfortable and the user should not feel burdened by the weight, as wigs can be worn for long periods of time. There should be no irritation on the user's head due to the cap or clips," he says. "There are many lengths, colours and textures available in wigs and the user can choose a wig that matches their face, style as well as the look that they are going for. The wig should ideally match the client's needs and real hair wigs can be customised to do so."

You can buy wigs, hair pieces and extensions online, and at their boutiques in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. At the stores, a team is available to help you find your perfect hair piece, and can teach you how to wear, care for and style the hair. "We only have human hair products," says Mehra, which can be set and styled to your needs.

This store in Bengaluru has a wide variety of merchandise to suit different prices ranges and needs. For those on a lower budget, whether you're simply testing a wig out or only need it for a short period, non-remy human hair wigs are a good call. (Non-remy hair wigs or pieces contain hair from different sources, as opposed to remy hair wigs, which have hair from the same source.) The roots are not aligned in non-remy hair, which means more maintenance to keep it shiny, but keeps the costs down. Wigs Design India also has at-home trials and demos for first-timers.
