Are 180 Density Wigs Worth the Price?

When you want to know the answer to these types of nuanced, in-depth Hair extensions and wig questions, you already know that you’ve come to the right place.

Here at Private Label, it’s safe to say that we know a thing or two about the world of human hair wigs, and we’re ready and waiting to guide you through everything you need to know. 

Without further delay, let’s dive right into the details so that you can make the perfect pick today!  

What is a 180-density wig?

180 refers to the percentage of the density of natural human hair that your Natural Hair Wig has.

A 180-density wig will have 180% of the number of hairs you will find on a natural head of human hair, whereas a 150-density wig will have 150% of the number of hairs. 

Who should wear a 180 density wig?

Celebrities, singers, and actresses who find themselves under the spotlight and scrutinized by the entire media world tend to opt for thicker wigs like our Body Wave 180% Density Wig.

This is so that they can enjoy more volume and energy on their crown in a way that gives them more confidence.

That said, there are many everyday women who would love to wear a straight 180 density wig and show the whole world what they can do. 

How do you care for a 180 density wig?

You might think that all these extra hairs mean that you have to change the way you care for them, but that’s simply not the case.

Stick to the best practices that you would apply to a wig of lesser density to avoid any Hair sticking up or a bulky, unwanted look, and everything will stay exactly how you want it: 

• Gently detangle the wig so that it doesn’t lead to breaks or knots 
• Avoid excessive heat while styling so you don’t damage the hair
• Hang it and leave it to air dry whenever possible to extend its lifetime 
• Remove the wig at night and hang it so that it can naturally settle 

Put all this together, and you will be able to significantly extend the lifetime of your curly 180 density wig simply by getting the basics in order. 

Are there other wig densities to consider?

There are a lot of Wigs densities , some women go for even more volume and push things up to a 250 density rating when they feel they want to.

Making sure you feel comfortable and confident with the way your crown looks and feels is the name of the game here.

Remember, a denser wig like Deep Wave 180% Density Wig will feel a little heavier and may keep you a little warmer, so that’s something to consider when you want to be able to step out in style for the whole world to see. 

Do you pay a premium for volume?

While the Private Label philosophy has always been to offer the very best quality for a price that is readily affordable, we also need to be open and transparent.

A higher density wig will require more hair strands and more work to bring it to life, and that increases the cost somewhat. 

For women on a budget who are not quite as bothered or taken by the enhanced volume side of things, you may wish to consider a 150 density wig like Blonde Body Wave 150%.

That way, you can still enhance your natural volume but do so in a way that helps your budget go that little bit further. 

The beauty of extra volume 

When you bulk out your crown, you give yourself the tools and permission to get truly creative with the way you look.

Being able to get increasingly versatile with the way you style your wig is one of the benefits of having all that extra volume. 

Each extra hair will help to share the burden of the heat from your Flat Iron , holding the shape and any coloring you decide to add to the finished look.

Ideal when you want to extend the lifetime of your wig so you can enhance the way you look and feel for months and months.

Avoiding the issue of too much bulk 

Depending on the style you want, your face shape, and your overall figure, you may find that there is such a thing as too much bulk and volume.

There is nothing wrong with admitting this because it’s not a competition about who can accommodate as much as possible up top on their crown. 

Taking a moment to consider just how important fullness and volume are to the way you choose to style yourself is the way to go here.

There is no right or wrong answer; you only have to choose what you feel comfortable with, so give yourself plenty of space to get it right.

If you’re unsure, there’s nothing wrong with asking a friend for their advice so that you can step out on the block with a new look that’s sure to tick all of the boxes. 

Stepping back to go further 

There will be some of you reading this who love the idea of having a little extra volume, but not at the price you think you’re going to have to pay.

The key thing to do here is to weigh up how important your budget is versus how important a little extra bulk is to you. 

By taking a look at options like the 150% wigs— and we have plenty of others besides that — you will be able to make the right moves for you.

It’s all about personal expression at the end of the day, and that means you need to give yourself the chance to find something that you’re sure to fall in love with. 

Final thoughts 

A 180 density wig is definitely worth it if you’re a woman who wants to shine, glow, and catch the eye with a delightful burst of beautifully poised volume.

Style it, shape it, and color it however you wish, and you’ll stand out in no time at all.

And if you prefer something a little more understated, drop the density slightly, and you’ll have exactly a huge variety from Closures to U Part Wigs for that desired not too big volume.
