Monofilament wigs refer to the sheer mesh fabric that allows the color of your own scalp to show through the fibers tied to the top of the wig. The hair is either tied or sewn into sections into the top portion of the cap. This allowed each of the tied hair to be parted or brushed in any direction.

If you have a sensitive scalp, a wig with a double monofilament top is a good option because there is a covering over the hand tied portion for extra comfort.

Lace cap wigs are where the hair is sewn or hand tied into lace material.

Hand tied wigs are where the individual hairs are tied by hand into the cap to create the appearance of hair growth. These types of wigs are also a great option if you have a sensitive scalp!

Head Circumference Measurement. In order to get your head circumference measurement, you’ll need to start at the center of your front hairline. Hold onto one end of the tape measure and follow down the head towards one ear. Make sure the tape measure is resting where the top of your ear meets the head. Next, take the tape measure and wrap it around the back of your head and line it up with your nape. Then, continue to wrap the tape to your other ear before returning back to your front hairline. The last step is to write this measurement down.

Ear to Ear Measurement. Before you get your ear to ear measurement, you will first need to establish your “top of head” point. Place the tape measure at the center of your front hairline and measure 7” towards the back of your head. Where your tape measure reaches the 7” line, that is your “top of head” point. Once you’ve located it, bring the tape measure to the top of the ear where it connects to your head. Then, measure across the top of the head, making sure the tape measure is placed on your “top of head” point. Continue measuring to your other ear and record this measurement.

Front Back Measurement. To find your front to back measurement, you’ll need to take your tape measure and start at the center of your front hairline. Follow down the center of your head and stop at your nape area. Now you can record this measurement. Next, wrap the tape to your other ear and then back to your front hairline. Record this measurement.
