Cost: Anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand depending on hair type (human or synthetic), quality (Asian, Indian, Remy European, etc.), size, thickness and supplier.
Pro's: You can change your style at will and they are generally easy to put on and go out the door.
Con's: It is sometimes hard to find the 'perfect' look and the process can be overwhelming. Go to a wig shop if you have one in your area. Full wigs can be hot.
Comfort: Again, this depends. There are several different bases to choose from. Vacuum sealed thiswigs look awesome and stay on your head remarkably well but are extremely hot in warm weather. A mesh or lace base is much more breathable but sometimes more difficult to conceal and the lace is fragile and must be vented (more hair added) and/or replaced often.
Attachment: Some wigs have a strap in them that you fit to your head as well as clips to clip on to your remaining hair. Vacuum sealed wigs require a shaved head for the seal to work. Some are 'tight fit' so you pull an elastic strap tights and it holds it on.
Maintainance : Preventing as needed. Most people do not sleep in their wigs as it is hard on the wig and on the scalp. Thus you need to have a head dummy to put it on at night and to use for styling, drying, etc. Deep conditioning is needed periodically for human hair wigs to keep them from drying out.
