Different Types of Wigs
Wigs have to basic parts: hair and a cap on which is hair attached to. Wigs differ from each other in material from which they are made of and in ways
which caps of wigs are done. We will describe some of them here:
Standard (Wefted) cap
is the most basic type of a wig. It is made with a sewing machine that sew each row to an each row of hair weft until it got a cap. Because it is machine
made it is most cheap wig type.
Monofilament wig
has a cap made from polyester or nylon mash. Strands of hair are individually hand tied into a mash. This kind of cap seams like a natural skin because it
is possible to sea wearers skin through it.
Capless
wig
has lace strips instead of a cap. That kind of wig is lighter and skin can bread underneath it.
Human hair wig
is, as the name says, wig made of human hair. I is the most natural looking wig and the most expensive. It can be dyed, cut and style just like real hair.
But because it is made from real human hair it must be cared for as if it is real live hair. It must be shampooed, dried and conditioned so it would behave
as a real hair.
Synthetic wig
is made from synthetic materials and is almost indistinguishable from the wig made of human hair. It is also cheaper because it is made from cheaper
material. Only flaw that it has is that it cannot be styled because it is sensitive to heat.
Lace wig
is a full wig with lace at the front part of the wig. It helps hair to fall naturally and gives to the whole wig a more natural look.
Vacuum wig
is custom made for a particular costumer. It is made by taking the exact shape of the costumers head with the help of the mould. When made like that it
fits perfectly.
