Monofilament Cap Construction

When reading wig articles you may notice that wigs are described with attributes such as: remy hair, human hair, monofilament, lace front, full lace, synthetic… These terms are referring to the construction of the wig; the cap construction and the kinds of fibers used as hair on the wig.

Wigs that are identified as mono-top or monofilament are referring to the cap construction of the wig. There are a few different kinds of wig cap constructions that have an artificial scalp which is meant to create a more natural looking wig. Of the artificial scalp wigs, the monofilament cap is by far the best. A mono-top wig has a very fine nylon mesh throughout the crown where several hairs are hand-tied into each cross piece of the mesh. These hairs come straight up, just as your own hair grows, and can be combed or brushed in any direction, so you can change the style, on top, to your liking. This is in contrast to standard wefted cap construction that pushes the hair in one direction and that cannot be re-styled.

Another benefit of the monofilament cap is that it has a very natural look – like your own scalp. If you are sitting in a chair and someone comes and stands next to you so they can look down on your head, the mono-top will look like your scalp – even if you have a distinct part in your wig. By contrast, the standard wefted wig cap can give you away as a wig wearer unless your alternative hair is perfectly distributed in the crown. And another consideration is that wind can move the synthetic hair if you go outdoors, and this will expose a standard wig cap.

    Most products available for sale that claims to resolve the issue would not help.
    Thus, maintaining an account balance of right moisture content, proper
    nutrition and cleanliness can go a long way in having healthy hair.
