The Basics
Forget trying to hide or camouflage the knots at the hairline! The knots are completely hidden so you can confidently wear your unit, even without a wig cap! The silk base basically does what the wig cap would – it creates the illusion of a scalp.
The silk top base is placed on the top of the cap as shown in the photo. Lace Top and Single lace placed in the front lends a natural hairline and realistic scalp look. This works for clipping or taping, a great option for wearers who are dealing hair loss in the top/front areas.
What is a Silk Top Wig?
Silk Top Base is the most realistic technique on the market today. You gain the appearance of having a scalp that looks like your own, because the roots of the hair on the wig are hidden under the silk base.
The Silk Top Base is constructed with a layer of lace, and pure silk fabric on the top front of the cap.
By hand sewing/injecting the roots/knots of the hairs under the silk base, the scalp area where you have the silk base, provides the illusion that the hair is coming from your own scalp. Making the knots 100% invisible. You don’t need to bleach the knots, you don’t need to worry about any other techniques to make the knots invisible and undetectable.
