Full Lace Wigs - Knots Explained
Full lace wigs - Knots explained
There are varoius different knots that are used when creating a full lace wig. To help buyers make an informed decision, it is useful to know what the different knots mean and what the pros and cons are for each different knot option.
Single Knots
Single knots are a popular option for full lace wigs. The process involves taking the hair, one strand at a time, and hand tieing it into the lace unit using a single knot. The single knot produced a very realistic apperance, as if the hair is growing out of the scalp. On the downside, single knots are not as secure which makes the full lace wig prone to shedding. This can result in bald patches on the wig, where the lace becomes visible.
Overview - Less visable upon closer inspection, prone to shedding
Double Knots
Double knots are when 2 or more hairs are taken and the hair is hand tied using 2 knots to secure it to the lace base of the wig. Double knots are more visable upon closer inspection which is not ideal for trying to create a realistic hairline, parting or crown section to the full lace wig. On the up side, double knots are more secure than single knots, so shedding is less of an issue with the double knot.
Overview - More visable upon closer inspection, less likely to shed
Triple/Reversed (Hidden knots)
The triple/Reversed (Hidden) knot is one of the newest techniques in how hair is tied into a full lace wig base. Hair is taken and hand tied inbetween an insert (usually silk) and the lace base of the wig. The knot is tied 3 times, making it very secure and unlikely to shed. Because the knot is hidden between the lace and the silk insert, the knot becomes invisible, making it look as if it is actually growing straight out of your scalp when your wearing the wig.Triple/Reversed (hidden knots) are an extreamly good option for the front of the wig, where the hairline is, your parting sections and sometimes at the crown section of the wig. The back and sides of the wig could then be made with double knots which, as detailed above, provide a strong attachment of the hairs within the lace unit.
Overview - Triple/Reversed (Hidden knots) are a great option for a natural and realistic hairline, parting and crown. The knot is compleatly invisible, the knot is secure and will not shed easily. The cons are that this is somewhat of a specialist method and an extra charge of £50 - £100 may apply depending on the company you purchase your wig from.
Bleached Knots
Bleached knots are single or double knots that are bleached with peroxide to lighten the appearence of the knot. The pro to this option is that the knot will be less visable. The cons are that the peroxide weakens the knot, so again, shedding can become an issue.
Overview - Bleached knots make the knot less visable, there for making the hairline more realistic. Cons bleaching can weaken the knot making it prone to shedding.
