The beauty of wigs and weaves is that they allow you to completely change your look – offering nearly unlimited options in the realm of colorful and unique hairstyles – without the pressure of having to commit to looks for longer than you’d like to. Hair chameleons like Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and pretty much all of the Kardashian-Jenners know all too well that wigs give you the option to rock a bold blond pixie cut one day and waist-length waves the next. Weaves, on the other hand, tend to be more of a commitment since they’re sewn into the hair in most cases.
