There are innumerable ways to make a wig cap, from choice of materials to the way the hair is sewn, but modern day wigs are far more comfortable and wearable than wigs even ten years ago. The base of a wig is known as a ‘cap’ and there are three main ways that hair is attached to the cap, hand tying, wefting and injection. At JoliCaméléon we don’t use the cheaper injection method, which tends to lead to excessive hair loss and an unnatural look. Most wigs, including all of Joli Caméléon’s feature hand-tied front and top. For the back of the wig, the most common choice is machine-wefting. With wefts, hair is sewn into doubled-over strips of hair and attached to the wig base. Wefts last longer and generally cost less than ‘hand-tying’ the back portion. Wefting, if done right, can be very comfortable and better conforms to a variety of head-shapes. Joli Caméléon uses close-wefted techniques and a comfortable stretch lining. All Hand-tied wigs are, as the name implies, sewn to the cap by hand, a few hairs at a time. This process takes longer and is more expensive, but creates a natural movement and look. For the most natural wigs, one should choose a lace front. All Joli Caméléon™ wigs come with the choice of hand-tied lace front.
