Silk Top Wig

This type of wig has a thin silk layer on the top (crown), under which the hair knots are hand-tied. This creates the appearance that the hair is growing directly from the scalp, giving the most natural-looking crown. Silk top wigs can be made from human hair or premium synthetic fibers.

✅ Advantages:

• most realistic scalp appearance (knots are not visible)

• natural-looking hair growth

• suitable for people with sensitive scalps

• elegant and premium look

⚠️ Disadvantages:

• thicker base compared to lace or monofilament wigs

• less breathable

• higher price

• less flexible for changing the part

Conclusion:
Regular silk top wigs are ideal for anyone seeking a very natural-looking scalp and parting, but with easier maintenance and greater durability than some other wig types. They are especially suitable for people who want a realistic crown without visible knots, enjoy a natural shine and scalp appearance, and want a wig that is easy to style and wear for both everyday and formal occasions.

Silk Top Lace Front Wig

This type of wig combines two features:

• Silk Top: A thin silk layer on the crown hides the knots, creating the appearance that the hair grows directly from the scalp.

• Lace Front: A lace edge along the front hairline provides an invisible hairline and allows flexible styling of the part.

✅ Advantages:

• most realistic scalp and front hairline appearance

• flexible parting – can style hair in multiple directions

• no need to bleach knots – the silk layer conceals them

• natural adherence to the forehead

• comfortable – silk and lace are soft materials

• professional look – ideal for photos, filming, and everyday wear

• svailable in hand-tied or wefted versions; wefted versions are slightly more affordable

⚠️ Disadvantages:

• higher price – combination of Silk Top + Lace Front

• less breathable – silk adds a layer, may feel warmer

• heavier – denser hair for a natural look

• requires careful maintenance – gentle combing and washing

• heat sensitivity – for synthetic versions, styling is limited to heat-friendly fibers

Conclusion:
Silk top lace front wigs are ideal for those who want the most realistic scalp and hairline appearance, combined with a luxurious, polished finish without visible knots. They are especially suitable for people who want a natural-looking part and forehead line, with the ability to style hair forward or backward, while enjoying an elegant and sophisticated wig that is easy to style and wear for everyday or special occasions.

Skin Top / Microskin / PU Wig

This type of wig uses a thin layer of material that looks like real skin (usually PU – polyurethane, i.e., artificial leather) as a base on the crown or across a larger area. The hair is inserted directly into the PU material, creating an extremely realistic scalp effect and hairline without visible knots or mesh.

PU is sometimes referred to as:
➡️ Microskin (term for very thin PU base)
➡️ Skin Top (especially when used on the top of the wig)

For more information about the PU base, read here.

✅ Advantages:

• the PU base looks like real skin, making the hairline almost invisible and giving the impression that the hair grows directly from the scalp.

• PU sits smoothly on the head without wrinkles, creating a flat surface and clean hairline.

• PU provides an excellent surface for tape or adhesives, allowing the wig to stay securely in place.

• unlike lace, PU does not absorb oil or dirt, making surface cleaning easier.

⚠️ Disadvantages:

• less breathable than lace or monofilament, which can trap heat and moisture — potentially uncomfortable in warm conditions or during extended wear.

• poor ventilation may cause sweating, and people with sensitive skin may experience irritation or redness.

• some PU bases may limit parting and styling compared to lace wigs.

• PU is thinner than silk top and requires careful handling and maintenance.

• due to reduced ventilation and heat retention, PU wigs are not ideal for hot climates or intense activity.

Conclusion:

Skin top / Microskin / PU wigs are ideal for anyone seeking a very natural-looking crown and parting, nearly identical to a real scalp. They are especially suitable for people who want:

• a completely natural-looking part, as the base is made from transparent silicone, PU, or a similar skin-like material;

• styling flexibility, including high ponytails and buns;

• a wig that fits securely and stably on the head;

• a premium, realistic look, often used in professional shoots, films, or fashion projects.

These wigs require careful maintenance and are often more expensive than lace or monofilament wigs, but they provide the maximum illusion of a natural scalp.
