Monofilament top

Monofilament Top Wig

This is a special wig cap construction where the fabric on the top of the wig is thin and transparent, and the hair is hand-tied strand by strand.

This technique creates the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp, especially in the parting area. It is often used on the crown/top of the wig, while the rest of the wig can be machine-made or wefted.

It can be said that the monofilament (mono top) was a predecessor to the silk top wig, at least in terms of the development of wig technology with a realistic scalp.

The monofilament top was the first step in wig technology that imitates a real scalp. The silk top is an upgrade that eliminates the main drawback of the mono top — visible knots — and provides an ultra-realistic scalp appearance.

Conclusion:
Monofilament wigs are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a natural look, comfort, and an affordable option. They are especially suitable for people with sensitive scalps, those who want flexible partings, and those seeking a long-lasting, high-quality, yet budget-friendly wig.
