Long Stock Wigs
If you have already started your search for wigs, you will probably have come across the term 'monofilament-top' wigs. The base of a ladies wig can be made of several different types of materials. A monofilament top wig has a different type of material at the very top or scalp area of the wig. It is a fine gauze-like material which is flesh-coloured. The hair is attached using an invisible knotting technique. The ultimate effect is that hair looks like it's growing out of the scalp. So, when you wear your wig, you can part your hair any way and it will look incredibly natural. The ultimate benefit is versatility of styling and hair that looks just like your own. Mono top wigs are very popular and particularly beneficial for long-term wearers.Contrary to popular belief, a wig base can now come in a choice of feather-light, breathable fabrics. A monofilament wig base is a virtually transparent, ultra-fine gauze material onto which individual strands of hair are sewn. This means that the base matches your scalp and the gauze allows for air to pass through. It also means that hairs move independently which also facilitates air flow. Lace bases are increasingly popular because they are even lighter and 'join' around the sides and front of the head they are virtually undetectable.
