100% Hand Tied Prosthetic Wigs

We've designed our prosthetic wigs and augment systems specifically for those who have experienced hair loss, have a sensitive scalp, or who simply desire the most natural-looking and most comfortable wigs available today. Our wigs are 100 % Hand Tied which means each hair has been knotted in strand by strand, one hair at a time. There are approximately 140,000 knots in each full prosthetic wig. The time it takes to make each wig is between 6-8 weeks.  This advanced technique gives the appearance of hair growing right out of the scalp. Individual strands of  hair are hand-tied to an ultra-fine mesh Monofilamant base using non absorbent materials for a completely lite weight fit and comfortable wear. It also gives you the freedom to style your new wig in any direction- just like your own hair hair. Part your wig on the left, right or center.

Educate Yourself!

 Terms that you may hear when you are in need of a prosthetic wig are shown below. We see these terms often used and they are very misleading, selling for between $3000 and $6000 and not being 100% hand tied. Always look for 100% Hand Tied with Remy/Cuticle Hair.

• Wefted or closed wefted back. This means that this is not hand tied. Some hand made/machine made wigs have a very small area which is hand tied on the top. Always look for prosthetic wigs that are 100% Hand Tied”.

• Hand Made.  This does not mean “Hand Tied”. It is also known as “Machine Made” as shown in photos below.

• Hair cuticle is partially intact.  Either the cuticle is intact or it is not, there is no in-between. We use only hair that has the cuticle intact and going in the same direction from top to bottom, the highest quality of hair used in the industry which is called Remy Hair or Cuticle Hair.

100% European hair. When ever you here any of the following terms, this is what they mean. Many times you will hear about country of origin. The idea that different hair textures come from different ethnicities came decades ago and simply sounds good but it is false. As an example, someone may say, we offer European hair, or Brazilian hair. If you think of it this way, take 50 people who are European, or Brazilian, or Asian and put them into a room, who has the Asian, Brazilian or European hair? Every nationality has multiple different textures and this is simply a myth, a descriptive term only. The quality and the way the hair is gathered is what makes the difference.

Machine Made/Hand Made wigs as shown below (Fashion or wig store/wig studio wigs) are not recommended, are wefted, heavy and will look wiggy. Some machine made wigs are made with a mono top or part but the cap is machine made and wefted. These are not recommended. 

We see these being sold for between $3000 & $5000!!!

         (Not Recommended) Whenever you see strips or wefting as shown in photos above, these are machine made wigs and usually found in wig stores & wig studios.  Machine made wigs (hand made but not hand tied) take about 20 minutes to 30 minutes to sew together using a lot of material that  makes them thick, bulky and very un natural)

It is always suggested that you work with a licensed Salon & stylist for best results.

 Human Hair Wigs VS. Synthetic

Many women think that human hair wigs will be more natural looking. They fear that "synthetic" wigs will in fact look synthetic. This is not true! Each type of wig has it's own unique benefits. Certain styles work best in synthetic hair and certain styles work best in human hair.

Synthetic Wigs are the popular in shorter styles because they require the least amount of care. Today's synthetic wigs offer more styling choices, colors and unique comfort features. Shorter synthetic wigs are considered "shake-n-go," meaning that all you do is shake them out, finger style, and they look great. Longer styles simply need to be brushed through or finger styled. (Keep in mind, longer styles in synthetic hair wear out quickly due to the friction on the neck.) Synthetic wigs are easy to pack and take with you, and the fiber is resistant to humidity, so your style holds in any weather. One thing that's important to remember is that you never use heat on a synthetic wig! Any heat source, such as a blow dryer - even an open oven - can damage the fiber and ruin the wig.  Synthetic hair can be fine tuned by your stylist in areas such as the fringe or bangs using texturizing sheers verses straight edge cutting shears.  With synthetic hair you are simply picking out the haircut and having it fine tuned..

Curly Hair: Synthetic is normally recommended for short curlier looks. Curly hair in longer looks in synthetic hair tends to look volumous and artificial. Human hair also can not re create a natural curl in a wig or hair system in longer styles. That would require that you set the piece to achieve that, or, have your stylist do that every few weeks. What makes one's hair naturally curly is the totality of how it grows out of the scalp and the natural root direction, it can not be recreated. We could take a head of naturally curly hair, knot it into a wig or hair system and it would look absolutely nothing like it did while growing out of one's head. It just does not work that way. With curly hair we recommend that you keep it simple and create a look where it appears that your hair has had a Brazilian blow out or has been straightened. Longer curly hair is just more challenging. In some cases, curly hair would be best in machine made wigs however will need replacing every couple of months. Those can be found on-line if you Google "Curly Hair Wigs".

Human Hair Wigs

Human hair wigs are extremely versatile. You can curl and style them as you would you own hair. Because they do not come pre styled or pre cut, you would need to have your stylist give it your desired haircut. Human Hair Wigs are extremely versatile. You can curl and style them as you would you own hair. Human Hair Wigs are very easy to work with if you keep the cut simple such as a bob, one length, or longer hair, they will replicate your hair much nicer in these cuts than synthetic hair.

There are many different qualities of human hair, some manufacturers even use animal hair such as yak. We only use the highest grade of human hair which is called Remy Hair, sometimes called cuticle hair. It is hand cut and hand processed. Many times you will hear about country of origin. The idea that different hair textures come from different ethnicities came decades ago and simply sounds good but it is false. As an example, someone may say, we offer European hair, or Brazilian hair. If you think of it this way, take 50 people who are European, or Brazilian, or Asian and put them into a room, who has the Asian, Brazilian or European hair? Every nationality has multiple different textures and this is simply a myth, a descriptive term only. The quality of the hair is determined by how it is collected and processed.
