• Knotting:

Knotting is a crucial process in crafting a hair topper or wig, ensuring strands of hair are securely attached to the base. A single knot involves tying one knot to secure a strand of hair, while a double knot uses two or more strands attached to the base.

• Monofilament Base:

Monofilament bases feature a translucent mesh where individual hair strands are hand-tied to imitate natural hair growth. These bases can be single-layered or double-layered for added durability.

• Silk Top Base:

The silk top base represents the pinnacle of realism. It comprises a layer of lace and a skin-colored silk layer, providing a scalp-like feel. The top knot remains concealed beneath the silk layer, and the hair has a silky material woven through it, creating the illusion of hair growing directly from the scalp.

• Lace Base:

A lace base consists of individually attached hairs onto a lightweight and breathable lace material, ensuring comfort and natural-looking results.

• Polyurethane/PU:

Polyurethane, often mistaken for silicone, is a flexible and transparent material used in making wig caps or applied around the wig’s perimeter to provide an area for adhesive or clips attachment.
