Guide #5: Understanding Wig Construction
Because an informed client is a confident client.
Wig construction can feel overwhelming — but it doesn't have to be. Here's a simple breakdown of the most common cap constructions so you can find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and comfort.
Lace Front
Features a sheer lace panel along the front hairline for a natural-looking hairline. Allows for off-the-face styling and versatile parting at the front.
Lace Top
Lace covers the top of the cap, allowing for natural-looking parting and movement at the crown while remaining lightweight and breathable.
Silk Top
A silk layer at the crown conceals the knots, giving the appearance that hair is growing directly from the scalp. The most natural-looking option available.
Mono Top
A monofilament panel at the crown where each hair is individually hand-tied, allowing for multi-directional parting and a realistic scalp appearance.
Comfort Cap
Designed with soft, gentle materials ideal for sensitive scalps. A popular choice for those experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions.
Hand Tied
Every single hair is individually sewn into the cap by hand, creating the most natural movement, lightest feel, and greatest comfort.
Wefted
Hair is machine-sewn onto horizontal tracks (wefts). A durable and more affordable option that still provides a full, beautiful look.
Medical Cap
Specially designed for those experiencing medical hair loss. Features ultra-soft, hypoallergenic materials for maximum comfort against sensitive scalps.
