If you are new to this industry or if you are not familiar with the different kinds of base materials used to make hair systems, you will find this article very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make\u00a0men\u2019s toupee\u00a0and women\u2019s hairpieces, we usually use lace, skin (polyurethane), and monofilament. Different kinds of base materials have their own unique characteristics and are better suited to different environments and markets. In this article, we will not only tell you about different wig bases but also help you provide the correct ones for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all<\/strong>, we are going to introduce all the different kinds of wig bases. Maybe you have some customers who tell you that they want very thin, soft, natural, breathable, and durable pieces. With so many demands it can be hard to know what\u2019s best for your customers. Unfortunately, you won\u2019t be able to meet all of your customers\u2019 requirements because some of their requests are contradictory as we will explain below. You should first start by giving a basic summary of the characteristics of the three main base materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Skin is thin and soft but not very breathable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lace is breathable but not very durable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Mono is durable but not very thin or soft<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It is important to ask your customers what is more important to them. \u00a0When you have their answer, it is a lot easier to find the most suitable\u00a0hair replacement system\u00a0for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, how to then make the best choice? Read this article and you will then have a good understanding of the recommendations you can make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Skin and PU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Skin and PU are made by glue but they are used in different situations. We use different thicknesses of thin skin \u2013 but all can still be considered thin skin \u2013 to make our\u00a0stock pieces. If you are a new stylist who is just starting to attach hairpieces for your customers, thin skin is the best choice for learning\u00a0how to attach hair systems\u00a0to someone\u2019s head because you only need to use glue which is easy to clean from the base with glue removal solvent. Since skin is thin and soft, skin hairpieces will not last a long time. If your customers want a more durable thin skin base then we would recommend 0.08mm super thin skin. Though it is thicker than 0.03mm, it can last 4 to 6 months and we can also add some holes to the 0.08mm super thin skin to make the hairpieces more breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are a few things that you need to be aware of when it comes to the different thicknesses of\u00a0skin bases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    0.03mm ultra-thin skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can only use a maximum 6-inch hair with medium-light density (100%). 0.03mm is so thin that it cannot support a weight of hair greater than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    0.06mm super thin skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can use a maximum of 10-inch hair with medium density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    0.08mm super thin skin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can use a maximum of 12-inch air with medium-heavy density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PU is usually used with other bases \u2013 on the back, sides or around the perimeter of the base \u2013 because it can reinforce the unit and make it more durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, our stock piece, the D7-5, has French lace on the top with PU on the perimeter and a folded lace front. If it only had French lace, the base would not be very strong. Once we add PU on the perimeter, the edge of the base is stronger and more durable. The advantages of adding PU are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
