Hand Tied Wigs: REALISM & COMFOrT

Hand tied wigs create the illusion of natural hair growth. The top of the cap is designed with mesh that either has synthetic fiber or human hair hand tied into the material. 
Hand tied wigs are perfect for those who have sensitive scalps or are experiencing hair loss due to how the hairs are knotted into the material. The hand tied hair is softer against the scalp and less likely to poke and irritate the skin.

Lace Front Wigs: Illusion of Hair Growing from the Scalp

When you're looking for wigs that look real, lace front wigs provide a natural-looking hairline. The hair is individually tied by hand into a section of sheer delicate lace in the front of the wig. This feature helps create a very natural-looking hairline. The lace front is virtually undetectable and looks most realistic like your bio hair.
There are few different types of lace front wigs: 

  • Mini lace front: A small section of lace placed just where the hair part starts at the hairline. 

  • Lace front: The lace material stretches across the middle of the forehead. This allows wearers to keep the hair off the face.

  • Temple-to-temple lace front: The sheer lace stretches from from one temple to the other, resting across the entire forehead.

  • Ear-to-ear lace front: The lace goes across the forehead and extends to your ears for a seamless hairline. 

Lace front wigs offer a remarkably natural appearance, mimicking hair growth from the scalp.
