Every woman who decides to wear either a wig, or a weave has one goal: to look natural. Many women use a weave to protect their hair.

This is why we have so many hair products today. We try to replicate the natural hair of a woman.

You’ve probably come across the silk lace wig or the silk base wig if you are a woman who uses hair extensions. This is because of their popularity on the market.

It is not enough to be able to distinguish between these types of wigs. What are the differences between these two types of wigs? This blog will discuss the main differences between a Silk Base Wig & a Lace Wig.

What is a Silk Base Wig?

Silk-base wigs, also known as silk top wigs, are the most natural and realistic when it comes to wig cap design. Silk base wigs have knots of strands underneath the first layer of silk.

To make your hair cap look more natural, tie the knot to the top layer.

Silk base wigs have hairs that are injected between silk material. This is done to conceal the knots and look natural. The silk Base wig won’t require you to bleach knots to make them as strong as they are.

Silk base wigs can make a woman appear to have real hair, with beautiful locks. Silk base material conceals hair knots and makes the hair look like it’s growing directly on your head. The caps are worn over your hair but you won’t be able to tell that they are not yours. They are more popular and more expensive than other types of wigs.

BENEFITS OF THE SILK BASE WIG

* Silk top wigs are chemical-free and contain only natural substances. Silk wigs look like human hair and contain 97% protein, 33% fat, and wax. It also contains 18 amino acids that have a positive impact on the skin.

* Silk-based wigs last longer than lace wigs. Because it is thicker and more sturdy, this is possible. This lace wig is fragile due to its sheer nature.

Silk base wigs don’t require any special or specialized care. They are delicate but strong. You don’t need to worry about your wig being damaged every month if you use it often.

What is a Lace Wig?

Lace wigs have wigs whose strands are attached to fine lace material. This gives the wig a lighter weight. This makes it appear as though the hairs are growing naturally from the scalp. It attaches to your scalp and takes the color from there.

The lace wig’s knot must be bleached to give it a natural look, just like the Silk base wig. It will look more natural and make you look as if you are growing your hair from the hair strands.

Bleaching the knot is a chemical process also known as the “lightening” method. Although it takes some time, this is a permanent process.

The silk-based wigs are distinguished by their thicker base. This means that they will not sit flat on the head like a lace-base closure.

Benefits of Lace Wig

* Realistic appearance

Securely attach the hair strands to the wig cover of a lace-wig. It is often difficult to see the lace wig with the naked eye. However, it can be seen if one looks closely. Because the lace is almost invisible, people will assume that you have real hair.

* Style versatility

The Lace wig allows you to style your hair however you like it, without worrying about the base being obvious. The lace front wig only has the front part made of lace. The back is made from a thicker, more visible material. You should not wear your hair up high or in a bun. It will show the ugly base towards the back, which you don’t want anyone to see.

* Breath-ability

A regular wig can make people hot and uncomfortable, especially if they are worn for long periods of time. The caps can be too rigid and restrict scalp breathing. Because of the sheer nature and comfort of lace wigs, however, it is not recommended. It allows your scalp to breathe. It would also feel as if it weren’t there.
