These materials are used to create a natural-looking scalp appearance when the wig is worn. Here are some common base structures for wigs:

1.Full Lace Base

The high degree of natural-looking appearance the lace hair systems offer makes it very welcome around the globe. It often gives the illusion of a natural scalp and can be styled in various ways.Wear a full lace wig and you'll have a natural scalp look no matter where you pt your hair.The base is made to cover the entire head, and each strand of hair is individually hand-tied to the lace, allowing for more versatility in styling and a very natural appearance.

Advantage：

Full lace wig can meet customer requirements for a natural hairline.Lace base is the lightest and most breathable of the three different mesh bases, so it is perfect for hot weather!

Disadvantage：

Because the hair is directly hand-crocheted on the lace, there will be knots, so if the hair has a distribution line, it will be more obvious, and it does not look very realistic and natural.

However, if these knots are bleached, the visibility of these knots will be reduced, increasing the realism of the wig, but the bleached knots will reduce the flexibility of the hair, making hair more fragile and fall out, and reduce the service life. The lace bottom is relatively more expensive than other base types.

 

2.Full PU Base

The PU base is made of a mixture of different compounds and polyethylene, which is a mixture of plastic and silicon, and is easy to use.

PU base hair system has the most natural hairline. The hair on the base is v-looped,reverse knotted and injected, keeps the most authentic appearance, and  is easy to clean and attach. It can be worn and cleaned at home. Because it is very thin, it has low density of bearing hair, so it is very light.

Advantage:

The biggest advantage of PU base wig is that they are light, more skin-like, and wears naturally. Even if you touch them with your hands, you will not find out that you are wearing a men’s wig, and the effect is realistic.The PU base looks like a real scalp, so the parting won't look unnatural.

Disadvantage:

The disadvantage of PU base wig is that it is not as breathable as lace base wig, and it will be a little stuffy when worn in summer. In order to be more natural and transparent, you can choose a thin PU base, but the thinner the thickness, the more fragile the base will be, and it will be easy to tear. It cannot be repaired and can only be replaced. The thinner the thickness, the shorter the service life, the thinnest 0.02mm-0.04mm service life is about 1 month. The thicker the thickness, the more sultry it is to wear, the transparency and naturalness will be reduced, and the service life will be extended to 4-6 months at most.

 

3. Lace Front Wigs

Lace front wigs are one of the most natural-looking wig cap. An undetectable sheer lace front to your wig will create a natural-looking hairline. The lace front on this also allows you to style your wig away from your face without having to worry that the wig edge is visible.

Lace frontals are comfortable to wear on the head and allow a constant flow of air to your scalp and hair.

Disadvantage：

Lace frontal wigs are usually installed using glue or lace tape. They last between 2 to 4 weeks without needing a retouch. The longer period of time your lace frontals have to stay installed can make it irritate your skin and severely damage your hairline or break off your edges.You will need to do things like bleaching the knots of the wig, tweezing, tinting, plucking or trimming baby hairs and installing your wig correctly so you can achieve a realistic hairline.

 

4.MONO base

The hair of the Mono base is also hand-crocheted on the fine mesh material, which is light and breathable.These wigs feature a sheer material at the crown that gives the illusion of natural hair growth and allows for multidirectional parting.

Mono base wig is the most durable. It is breathable and strong. It can carry a large density of hair, so it is relatively heavy. It is usually combined with a large area of NPU to ensure that it adheres firmly and has a front hairline that cannot be explored.

Advantage：

Mono net is soft and comfortable, and has little irritation to the skin of the head,, especially suitable for people with hair loss or sensitive skin after chemotherapy.Mono base can not only imitate the appearance of natural hair growth, but also can be distributed at will, easy to style. The price is also cheaper than the lace base wig, and the price is also affordable for most people.

Disadvantage:

The Mono Base is smooth and comfortable, but?not as breathable as the Lace Base, due to the weave of mono base material being tighter than the lace.

 

5. Wefted/Open Cap Wigs

Wefted wigs are also known as capless wigs or open cap wigs.They are one of the most common and popular types of wigs. As the name suggests, open-hat wigs are just that - there are open structures on the scalp of the wig that make the wig lighter, breathable, and affordable.Unlike other types of closed wigs,open wefts mean that many wig wearers prefer capless wigs as they allow for the scalp to breathe, perfect for those hot summer months!
