The entire wig may be hand tied, or the wig may have a monofilament top with wefted sides and back. This picture, courtesy of R. Anzivino, illustrates the translucent quality of a monofilament top wig cap. The material used to construct the top varies between manufacturers. These wigs are available styled, semi styled or unstyled, depending on the manufacturer. This type of wig is the most requested and the one our owner recommends the most.
Prices vary, depending on manufacturer and whether the wig is partially or fully hand tied.
How a wig is secured to the head varies between manufacturers as well. In general, all wigs will have some type of adjustable hook or Velcro strap along the nape of the neck to tighten or loosen the fit around the circumference of the head. Wigs can be altered at the crown and the back to a smaller size, but can not be made bigger. For people with partial hair loss, the wig may be secured to the hair with small combs or clips sewn into the crown, sides or back of the cap. The cap may have a polyurethane tape tab along the front, sides, or nape of the wig to allow the wig to be taped to the head when there is significant or complete hair loss.
