Wigs, Weave on is Everyday Business - By Clara Nwachukwu
You can hardly walk past any female nowadays, young or old, who is not wearing one form of hairpieces or another.
Some come in attachments, some in weave on and others in wigs, and they come in various labels and brands.
Human hair wig is popular among regular users of wigs who prefer a natural look; they are made with the best quality hair that is collected to achieve the texture and colour required.
They are more versatile and can be blow-dried, permed and styled in different ways. The cuticle is left intact thus maintaining the colour.
While the attachments are normally used for African braids, weave on are sewn to the hair for a lasting effect.
These hairpieces also come in various colours, lengths and textures, which females adorn to look more beautiful, glamorous and contemporary.

For this reason, shops selling these hairpieces usually attract the most customers and more are springing up on a daily basis.
Mrs. Chineye Ugwodike, who runs a shop that deals in a number of items including hair additions, cosmetics and sundry item, says with weave on, you must make daily sales.
Prices range from N270 to above N3,000, depending on the quality and brand. Those tagged human hair are usually more expensive, as they were supposedly made from natural human hairs. Others are either synthetic (Chinese) or horsetails.
