The majority of human hair wigs are permanently dyed. The colour will last a very long time. Because it's human hair, it can be dyed. But be wary of black, either starting out with or dying to. It works out as hard work to change the colour from black and may end up damaging the hair. Semi-permanent dyes can be used, which eventually wash out but not completely.

You can treat them much like your own hair; wash with regular shampoos and conditioners, comb them normally, stile with the same tools people use. They are much easier to comb tangles out of, but you can get split ends if you are not careful.
Most of all they feel much nicer when you run your fingers through your dolls hair.
Much easier to style and easier to control those stray hairs that, with a synthetic wig, get stuck to foreheads.

Sara's was £600, but with that I got a custom cap made from scratch to fit her head measurements perfectly, and it sheds about 1 or 2 strands every month or so, so it will probably outlive her. All a question of what you're prepared to spend really
For Comparison

Kaia's wig : 40 quid lace front synthetic. It's quite course in feel though
Xiaoli's wig : 10 quid Ebay, lasted nearly a year so far. She does wear a pony tail most of the time though, so thats going to help with tangles.
Maddies Wig : 20 quid from Amazon.

You just have to make sure it s Synthetic hair/Kanekalon/Japanese Wig fibre and avoid party wigs. For reference look at Forever Young and WiWigs on Ebay.

If you want a fringeless style a Lace Front wig is best as the front inch of hair is on a thin lace veil, not a thicker wig cap, so its way less visible (see Kaia's pics)

It depends what is meant by quality. I have bought synthetic wigs from the following and always found them to be good for purpose. My price range is £15 to £30. If you're thinking human hair then the cost will be rather more.

Annabells wigs, Fever wigs and Wi-wigs:

Fever wigs come packed in their own sturdy box which is good for storage.
