What materials simulate the scalp on a wig
The hair of a quality wig is attached to materials simulating the scalp. This technology is used to more closely resemble a natural hairstyle.
A wig on a mesh base has a complete resemblance to the native styling:
- Monofilament, the best material that completely shapes the scalp. It is a fine, strong mesh with a cellular structure. The specificity of the material makes it possible to attach hair to it manually. Natural curls attached in this way completely simulate the natural scalp. Due to the transparent base, a complete imitation of the natural hair growth from the scalp is created. The base is appreciated for its breathability, due to this, the growth of its own hair does not stop.
This feature is valuable for people who have undergone chemotherapy:
- Silicone. It is taken as the basis of a wig or hairpiece. The hair is inserted into the silicone with a needle, without fixing it. The silicone-based product fits snugly like a second skin. The disadvantage is the vitality of the wig for several months, since the loose hair on the back side soon begins to fall out. In addition, it is hot in the wig, the silicone does not allow air to pass through.
- Silk. With the use of silk, a hat is obtained from 3 layers. In the middle, a monofilament pad with natural hair tied with a tambour knot. Silk layers are stitched at the top and bottom of the mesh. The bottom layer protects the skin from knots after tambouring (this is convenient). The top layer imitates the scalp. The hair is simply pulled through the silk and brought out, giving the impression of its natural growth.
The model is not bad, but it has disadvantages:
- hot;
- poorly breathable;
- the skin does not breathe;
- after a while, the hair is pulled under the top layer and rolled, the wig loses its individuality.
Manufacturers are reluctant to use natural fabrics for wigs. In the manufacture of the base of the post-work product, preference is given to the mesh and stretch materials. They do not deform, allow air to pass through, remove moisture well, and do not cause allergies.
How to put on and wear a wig correctly
Before putting it on, the mesh is trimmed, leaving 2 mm from the base. Such an edge is needed to fix the product on the head. The wig on the net is secured with a special 2-sided tape. Stretching the wig with your fingers, it is put on the head, slightly shifting to the forehead. Cut off a strip of tape, 1.5 cm, remove the protective tape and stick it on the skin of the forehead a little below the growth of your hair, press the edge of the border to the tape. The adhesive tape is distributed around the circumference of the head.
A more reliable fixation is provided by a special glue. It is applied with a special brush along the hairline along the entire circumference of the head. The thin, uncut edge of the mesh is pressed for 2-3 seconds. Fixation with glue allows you to visit the pool, gym in a wig. If necessary, the adhesive can be easily removed with an alcohol solution without leaving any residue.
