This style cap is durable and boasts a good lift at the crown and root areas. You can achieve a blow-dry look every day. These can weigh slightly more than other types of construction. A very affordable option<\/p><p>2. <strong>Monofilament<\/strong> \u2013 Famous for the hand knotted sheer base which creates a very natural look and allows you to style and part the hair in any direction and also gives the appearance that the hair is growing from the scalp. Within the Monofilament category there are 3 main construction types - Monofilament Top, Monofilament Parting and Monofilament Crown. Monofilament wigs are the most popular type of wigs, they have a very natural appearance and they\u2019re comfortable.<\/p><p>3. <strong>Hand Tied<\/strong> - The hand knotted or hand tied sheer base is lightweight and contours to the shape of the scalp. These are specifically designed for people with total hair loss or sensitive scalps. The hair can be styled or parted in any direction and has a very natural look. Light weight and very comfortable.<\/p><p>4. <strong>Lace Front<\/strong> - The hand tied knotted lace front is very popular as the lace front creates a very natural hairline. You can pull the hair off of your face and create a quiff or pin it back easily. There are two basic types of Lace Front construction - Ready to Wear which has a pre-cut lace front and the Professional Lace Front which has to be cut back creating a custom hairline and requires adhesive, tape or glue to keep it in securely in place.

The synthetic fibre is heat resistant which can withstand the impact of heated styling tools. Although these wigs and hairpieces are not made of human hair, they are made from man-made fibre strands which look and feel just like naturally growing real hair. You can also use a digitally controlled hair dryer or straighteners at a low and medium heat after washing (maximum 180 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/p><p><strong>Human hair<\/strong> - YES, you can style, colour and perm your human hair wig. You must remember that the hair on a human hair wig has already been processed, any colour that you use will take faster than normal because hair is more porous. The porosity of the hair also means that you cannot lift the colour. Do not use styling heat over 225 degrees. - We strongly recommend using appliances that can be heat controlled.<\/p><p>Click <a style=\"color: #d6b7b5;\" href=\"#\">here<\/a> to view \u2018The Wig Buyers\u2019 Guide\u2019<\/p>"},{"_id":"b461244","tab_title":"How Long Will My Wig Last?","tab_content":"<p>Click <a style=\"color: #d6b7b5;\" href=\"#\">here<\/a> to view \u2018The Wig Buyers Guide\u2019<\/p>"},{"_id":"2bc4149","tab_title":"I Have Tangles At The Nape Of My Wig, What Is This & What Can I Do?","tab_content":"<p>Tangles are caused by friction from where the hair rubs onto your back, shoulders or clothing and is called Friction Frizz or Friction Rub.

This should be done after washing and in between washes and will prevent tangling and over-drying or drying out.

Let\u2019s be honest there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all for anything. Some heads are larger; others are smaller. If your head is larger, a wig cap can feel too tight and cause headaches after long periods of time and will pop off. If your head is smaller, the wig cap can slip around underneath your wig, causing the wig to fall off. If you can\u2019t find a wig cap that fits your head exactly, our advice is don\u2019t wear one<\/p><p>\u2022 Most wig caps are made from either cotton or nylon, both of which can cause problems for women with sensitive skin.
