Terms & Definitions

from the Wig Pros

 

 

 

Below are definitions for terms commonly used in the product descriptions.

Hand-Tied Construction
This means that the wig cap is very lightweight. The hairs (fibers) are actually hand sewn into the cap, allowing for ease of styling and parting.

Monofilament / MonoTop
Monofilament DiagramMonoTop, or Monofilament construction gives the appearance that the hair is actually growing from the scalp. Thin, breathable fabric is placed at the hairline or the front of the head toward the crown section.

The top portion of the cap is specially woven to allow for comfort and excellent ventilation. This helps to prevent irritation and itchiness.

Monofilament is considered to be one of the most desirable of wig types. Most women, especially those who wear wigs every day, feel that its superior wearability and natural look more than justify the additional cost.

 

Open Ear Tabs
These are perfect if you wear eye glasses, as the flexible material allows for the ear tabs to adjust and contour to the face, around the temple area.

Permanent Lift
A backcombing effect that provides body and fullness to any wig style.

Permanent Tease
Without adding weight, crimping at the base adds hair volume to any wig style.

Reverse Wefting
Imitates a more natural look by adding short hairs around your ears and along your natural hairline.

Stretch Lace/Lycra
Allows the wig to conform to the shape of your head. Therefore, you achieve a more comfortable, secure fit.

Thin Wefting
Allows better distribution of fibers by adding more wefts with less fiber on each strand, giving the same mobility of a hand tied wig.

Velcro Sizing Adjustments
Allows you to adjust your wig (at the nape section) up to 1” larger or smaller for a better fit.

Velvet Comfort Band
A 1” band of velvet is placed on the front perimeter of the wig, providing softness to the head, and preventing friction. A great feature for sensitive scalps.
