Questions & Answers > Hair Loss  > Wig Terms & Features

Below is a list of wig features that provide optimum comfort and styling versatility. It may help to become more familiar with these terms before you shop.

Non-slip lining
Some wig styles feature a special non-slip band or lining which warms to your body temperature and naturally adheres to your scalp for a secure fit. This is ideal for sensitive scalps where total hair loss has occurred.

Lightweight fiber
The lighter the wig, the more comfortable it feels. Look for wig styles that feature softer, finer fibers.

Sizes
Many wigs come in multiple sizes, ranging from petite to large. A sized wig guarantees a perfect fit for the ultimate in comfort and security. The difference between a petite and an average and an average and a large is typically about 1." Plus you can adjust the size an inch larger or smaller with Velcro sizing adjustments. Your wig size may be affected by the amount of hair you have underneath - something to consider when trying on wigs.

Thin wefting
Wig fibers are sewn to a thread, creating what is called a weft of hair. Thin wefting means that a single layer of thread and fiber is used instead of two, resulting in a lighter cooler wig.

Open cap construction
This describes a wig cap designed without lace. Less material in the cap allows for greater air circulation and cool, all-day comfort.

Open ear tabs
If you wear glasses, look for wigs with open ear tabs, which allow you to wear your glasses comfortably.

Velcro sizing adjustments
Many wigs feature tabs that allow you to customize your fit by adjusting the wig's circumference up to 1" larger or smaller.

Velvet comfort band
A soft velvet lining inside the front of the wig provides extra softness against your skin. Perfect for sensitive scalps.

Hand-tied hairlines
Wig fibers are tied to the front of the wig by hand for a more natural-looking hairline.

Monofilament
In monofilament styles, wig fibers are hand-tied to a fine, poly-silk mesh, or monofilament base. This thin, breathable fabric allows your skin color to show through for a natural looking part. Versatile hand-tied fibers can be combed in any direction.
