Key Features of A Hair System - Base Design

Choosing the right base design for a hair system is essential because it directly impacts how natural and comfortable the system feels, as well as how well it adheres to your scalp. The base design affects several factors, including breathability, flexibility, durability, and the overall look of the hairpiece. Here are some common base designs to consider when selecting a hair system:

 

Full Skin Base

A full skin base is crafted from materials like polyurethane, a transparent, skin-like material that mimics the natural feel and appearance of the scalp. It creates an invisible hairline, offers a natural look, and is easy to attach and clean.

Full Lace Base

The lace base is made from soft, lightweight lace materials that provide breathability and a natural appearance. This base strikes a great balance between comfort, durability, and breathability. There are two types of lace bases:

Lace Material

 

  • Swiss Lace – A finer, more delicate lace that offers enhanced comfort and breathability.

 

  • French Lace – Slightly more durable than Swiss lace, this material provides a strong balance of comfort, durability, and breathability.

 

The Combination Of Lace And Skin

This combination base design blends the benefits of different materials. The lace front or top gives a natural hairline and added breathability, while the skin sections ensure durability and ease of attachment and cleaning.

 

 

 

Mono Base

The monofilament (or mono) base uses a fine mesh material. It is durable, creates a natural parting, and is typically used on the top of the hair system, often combined with skin or lace materials for added functionality.

 

Silk Base

The silk base is made from three layers of mesh with the hair knotted in the middle layer, which creates the most realistic effect of hair growing directly from the scalp. This design is ideal for a truly natural look and feel.
