Wig & Hair Topper Hair Buying Guide
Cap Construction
So now you’ve got the low-down on the different types of hair you are
looking for, let’s talk a bit about how they are actually constructed. In most
toppers there are three main components, the top, the wefts and the
hairlines. There are three main types of ‘tops’; silk tops, lace tops and mono
tops.
Lace Top
Lace top pieces have a thin, delicate piece of lace
which the hair strands are sewn into. This makes
a super realistic looking scalp, as you can see
your own scalp through the holes in the lace (or, if
you have your own hair, you can cover this with
'scar tape' to make it look realistic. As the lace is
very thin, it's also a super breathable and light
design.
Bear in mind with a lace top you can see the
‘return hairs’. What are return hairs? When the
hair is sewn into the lace, the other end of the
knot can be seen on the outside of the piece.
Lace tops also tend to not last quite as long as
silk or mono tops as the construction is super
delicate. Usually, a lace top piece will last around
12 months.
Our lace top wig is called The Luxe Wig.
Mono Top
Mono tops have all the hair sewn into one layer of
fabric. As this fabric isn’t as delicate as lace tops, they
tend to last longer. However, they generally don't look
as realistic as lace and you do still have the return hair
‘problem’. For some people this isn’t a problem at all! If
you like having a high volume on the top of your head,
mono tops are a good option for you! Mono tops don’t
usually sit very flat or flush against your head, they sit
higher than your own head. With some mono tops you
can change the part-line and others you can’t.
Lusta does not stock any type of mono top piece.
