Introduction
When it comes to buying a high-quality wig, one of the most important factors to consider is wig density. Wig density determines how full, voluminous, or natural your wig looks. But terms like 150% density, 180% density, and 200% density can be confusing if you’re new to wigs.
In this guide, we’ll break down what wig density really means, how each option looks in real life, and which density is best for different occasions or personal preferences.
What Is Wig Density?
Wig density refers to how thick or f
ull the hair appears on the wig cap. It’s measured as a percentage compared to natural hair. A lower density looks more natural and lightweight, while a higher density looks fuller, glamorous, and luxurious.
Wig Density Levels Explained
⭐ 150% Density Wig
- Appearance: Natural and lightweight, perfect for everyday wear.
- Best For: Beginners, professionals, or women who want a natural look without too much volume.
- Styling: Easy to manage, move freely, and can be styled into casual or office-friendly looks.
⭐ 180% Density Wig
- Appearance: Medium to full volume, a balance between natural and glamorous.
- Best For: Special occasions, events, or women who want noticeable fullness without being “too much.”
- Styling: Can handle curls, waves, or sleek straight looks with plenty of body.
⭐ 200% Density Wig
- Appearance: Very full, thick, and luxurious with maximum volume.
- Best For: Stage performances, photo shoots, weddings, or those who love extra-glam styles.
- Styling: Perfect for bold hairstyles, Hollywood waves, or dramatic ponytails.
How to Choose the Right Wig Density
When deciding between 150%, 180%, and 200%, ask yourself:
- What’s the occasion? – Daily wear vs. special events.
- What’s your lifestyle? – Do you prefer low-maintenance styles or dramatic looks?
- What’s your budget? – Higher densities usually cost more due to more hair being used.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re new to wigs, start with 150% or 180%. If you’re experienced and love big volume, 200% is your dream density.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Which wig density looks the most natural?
👉 150% density is the most natural and lightweight option.

👉 Not necessarily. Density affects fullness, not hair quality. Shevara Hair wigs are made with 100% human hair, ensuring quality at any density.
Q3: Is 200% density too heavy to wear daily?
👉 For most women, yes. 200% is better for occasional wear or glam looks rather than daily use.
