Synthetic hair VS. Human Hair, which one is best?

When deciding what type of hair you would like to have in a wig or a hairsystem there are basically 2 commonly available choices-Human Hair or Synthetic Hair. How does one determine which would be better for them?  Below are the pluses and minuses to both.

Human Hair

1. It's human hair, which means it is going to look just as your own hair did.
2. You can do everything you did with your own hair with a human hairpiece or wig-curling, coloring, etc...
3. It looks natural. Sometimes dependent upon the quality of the synthetic hair, you can see a marked difference from the sheen of the hair. A lot of synthetic hair tends to have a shiny look. 
4. It breaks. The hair on a wig or hairsystem is processed so taking great care of it and keeping it moisturized is key. Not properly conditioning the hair or keeping it hydrated can cause the hair to become dry and brittle which can lead to breakage. 

Synthetic Hair

1.  Easy to wash and wear-synthetic hair keeps it's shape so you really do not have to spend a great deal of time styling it.
2. Less expensive to purchase in a lot of cases. Because it is manufactured hair and not human hair the costs are a lot lower. 
3.  Shine. Synthetic hair, particularly lower grade wigs or hair pieces tend to have a high shine to them. This makes the hair not look as natural as it should.
4.  Frizzing. If too much friction is applied to synthetic hair, it can frizz up and there is not a lot that can be done to recover it. 
5.  You will not be able to use high heat on a synthetic wig or hairsystem. In most cases it will melt the hair and ruin it completely. So no curls.
