Today's wig manufacturers are very good at making synthetic hair look and feel like human hair. When comparing a synthetic wig with a human hair wig, taking into consideration that both are made on the same style cap, are the same length and otherwise identical in every way, the main difference you will notice is the weight. Human hair weighs more. Think of an acrylic sweater versus a wool sweater... it's the same principle. Acrylic is man made, wool is made from the hair of sheep.
If the retailer will allow this, the next difference is how easily the style can be changed. A synthetic wig will not change the "curl" pattern by gentle combing, but a human hair wig can be changed easily simply by combing it a little. Try parting the wig in a different place. The synthetic wig will resist this change more so than a human hair.
Finally, if you have a really good sense of smell.... wet the hair a little bit. The synthetic will not have an odor at all, the human hair wig will smell like your own, and Yak hair can smell like a wet dog to me!
Synthetic wigs have their place in the wig industry as good options just as European hair wigs have their place. Again, the best advice I can give you is to educate yourself. Really think about why you need, or want a wig, how long you will need it and what you are willing, or able to afford to get one.
