The way a wig is processed has a significant impact on how comfortable it is to wear and how it looks. From wefts to monofilament to hand-knotted models, there are various techniques that each offer their own advantages. In this article, we'll look at the different processing methods and what they mean for you.
braid
What is a braid?
A weft is a machine-made tail of hair that is sewn onto elastic bands. Real hair wefts offer volume and are inexpensive.
Advantages
- Lightweight and breathable
- inexpensive
- Ideal for voluminous hairstyles
monofilament
partial monofilament
With partial monofilament, only part of the wig, usually the crown or crown area, is provided with monofilament.
monofilament and braid
This combination offers both the natural look of monofilament and the comfort of weft.
Hand-knotted
Completely hand-knotted
Each hair is individually knotted onto the wig cap, which allows for a particularly natural look and maximum mobility.
Advantages
- Very natural look
- High wearing comfort
- Ideal for sensitive scalp
lace front
What is a lace front?
The lace front wig has an invisible hairline (film line) made of fine mesh, which allows a seamless transition to the skin.
Advantages
- Natural hairline
- Flexible Styling
- Popular with professional stylists
Choosing the right processing method
budget and needs
Your choice depends on your budget and individual needs. Human hair wefts are cheaper, while hand-knotted wigs are more expensive but more comfortable.
