When first learning about wigs, there are a few key terms, you should know to make finding the right piece a lot easier, mono or mono filament fine mesh fabric that allows the color of your scalp to show through the fibers tied to the top of the wig Denne er a unit of measurement that determines the thickness of a single strand of hair wefts, a single curtain of hair that, if multiple are sewn together, can be used to quickly construct a wig at a lower cost than a 100 % hand. Tight piece returns: shorter hairs, tied throughout a wig to represent the natural look of flyaways or to lessen the density of the underside of a wig fringe. Bangs permit ease a layer of densely compact hair with a teased look that helps add body and volume to a piece or hide the wefts on a piece with a basic cap nape the area of the wig that lays on the back of your neck density. How close together strands of hair sewn and the quantity of strands in a single wig? This is different than the den ear of the fiber open cap wept. It also referred to as capless or basic cap construction. The wefts of hair are sewn into the piece so that there is a bit more space in between them. Creating a lesser density remy, the 100 % human hair in a wig or hairpiece has been collected in a way that the follicles of the fiber are all facing the same direction. This creates less of an opportunity for tangling and ensures that the hairs, soft and luxurious swatch the sample image of what the color of the wig will look like. Sometimes you'll see a true color swatch of the full image of the wig and sometimes it'll be a small square detailing the color blend, ear tabs a feature of a wig which lay in front of the ear and rests near the temple they're used to adjust the Placement of your wig and to keep it on a bit more securely be sure to keep them tucked in instead of winging outward for a more natural look PC when the fibers are grouped together and slightly separated to create style with textured or tousled effect. And that's it learn these terms and you'll be a wick expert in no time. What other terms would you like to know?

Penelope Pitstop: Very helpful, thank you.

Maureen Howard: Very informative. Thank you well presented video. Oh and your beautiful!

RUBYSSHOES: @1:30..allow me to correct you. Follicles are under the skin, where the root of the hair is encased. You meant cuticle, the outer layer of a strand of hair. Follicles have nothing to do with whether or not the hair is Remy. Cuticle has everything to do with it. You might want to be more careful with your terms if you are placing yourselves in a position to educate.

Sherry Gaillard: How is the side length measured?

Taunjia Chandler: I keep seeing DBLU and haven't found the definition. Thought it started Dark Brown LU is confusing .

Monika's Beauty & Lifestyle: Thank you!

It is what it is: Does a 2pc 6inch pixie wig mean that there are 2 wigs
