Wigs are still one of the most common forms of wearable hair by individuals experiencing either thinning hair or substantial to total hair loss. While wigs may be a common solution for hair loss, most people don’t realize that there are several types of wigs to fit each individual's unique needs.
Lace front wigs allow wearers to part the wig however they wish since the lace is only present in the front of the unit. Lace front wigs often give the illusion of a natural hairline and come in a wide range of colors and styles.
Custom handmade wigs are made by hand as opposed to the mainstream wig which is created by machine. Custom handmade wigs are constructed for a specific individual and do not come pre-styled so they look and feel more natural than the machine made, mass produced variety.
Natural human hair wigs are made from harvested human hair so they feel, move and act just like your own natural hair. Human hair wigs offer flexibility for styling and maintenance since they can be washed with shampoo and conditioner.
European hair features fine, silky hair that can be colored or permed to fit the wearer’s personal style.
Remi Wigs are created using a method of hair collection that is able to keep the cuticles of each hair strand intact which results in a softer and manageable hair.
French Top Wigs have a multi-directional top. Each hair within the wig is sewn individually into the skin top made from silk to look like skin. This wig is often seen as a little more durable that the classic lace top because of the material that is used.
Mono type wigs are made from lace, nylon and mesh material and are perfect for individuals with a sensitive scalp. Mono materials have a natural color, so wearers can part their hair wherever they feel comfortable.
A skin top wig is a wafted cap with an insert of skin colored plastic sewn into the crown. With a skin top wig, the part cannot be altered.
Prosthetic hair wig is a custom made wig that is often made for patients who have lost their hair as a result of a medical condition or from treatments for illness. The base of prosthetic wigs is often made of hypoallergenic material due to allergies or sensitive skin.
Virgin wigs are made from unprocessed hair that is natural and youthful. The hair used is stripped of all processing chemicals to eliminate breakage and tangling.
