Hand Tied Wigs - Page 38

What Are Hand Tied Wigs?

Hand tied wigs are made by individually tying each strand of hair into a soft wig cap by hand. This process allows the hair to move more naturally than many other cap constructions which creates a realistic and lightweight look and feel.

You may also see them described as hand knotted wigs, which typically refers to how the wig is made; that each strand is hand tied or hand knotted. Wigs will often ultimately be called hand tied because it refers to the finished construction. 

These terms are often used interchangeably, and don’t represent any major differences. A hand tied wig or a hand knotted wig will be styles that offer natural movement, a comfortable fit and a less structured feel.

Why Choose a Hand Tied Wig?

If you’re looking for a style that moves freely, hand tied wigs respond more like natural hair and offer a breathable design that’s ideal for long days and sensitive scalps. 

The thoughtfully constructed cap sits comfortably against the scalp without unnecessary bulk and hand tied wigs are often top of the list for those experiencing medical hair loss because they are so gentle to wear. 

It's these qualities that make hand tied wigs one of the best options for those looking for a true-to-life style without sacrificing long-lasting comfort.

Human Hair vs Synthetic Hand Tied Wigs

Choosing between human hair hand tied wigs and hand tied synthetic wigs comes down to your lifestyle, styling preferences and how often you plan to wear your wig. Both benefit from the premium comfort and natural movement of a hand tied construction, but each fibre offers different advantages.

Human hair hand tied wigs are a popular choice for customers who enjoy styling flexibility. They offer beautifully natural movement, can usually be heat styled and, with the right care, have excellent longevity. They do require more maintenance, however many people see them as a worthwhile long-term investment, particularly for regular wear.

Hand tied synthetic wigs, on the other hand, are designed primarily with convenience in mind. They arrive ready to wear, retain their style after washing and require less day-to-day maintenance, making them ideal for busy lifestyles or occasional wear. They're also generally available at a lower price point than human hair alternatives which can offer better value.

Neither fibre is the right or wrong choice for everyone. The best option depends on your individual needs, budget and styling routine. If you'd like help deciding, our knowledgeable advisers are always happy to recommend suitable styles online or during a personalised consultation in our Surrey showroom.

Finding the Right Hand Tied Wig

Finding the right hand tied wig goes beyond choosing a good colour or particular style. It's worth considering how often you'll wear your wig, your preferred fibre (human or synthetic) as well as the level of styling flexibility you'd like and can maintain. The shape of your face, type of hair loss you’re experiencing and the most comfortable cap construction for your needs will also help guide your decision.

Many customers choose hand tied lace front wigs to achieve a natural-looking hairline, while lace front monofilament hand tied wigs bring together a multitude of premium cap details for an exceptionally realistic finish and added styling versatility.
