Density
Note: Density is not exact. Each hand-made unit will vary a little and be slightly more or slightly less dense.
For custom orders (currently not being made)
- | XL | Extra-Light | Senior density. Shows scalp. Will expose tapes if lace. |
MATURE | XL-L | Extra-Light to Light | Less transparency than XL. |
NORMAL | L | Light | Realistic good full coverage. Perfect for most men with hair loss. |
YOUTH/WOMAN | L-LM | Light to Medium-Light | Scalp fully hidden. Full dense coverage in all situations. Top seller. |
- | LM | Medium-Light | Too heavy for most men. Natural look for women and children. |
- | LM-M | Medium-Light to Medium | Far too heavy on most men. Okay for women and children. |
Requests for density higher than the above may not be accepted by the factory
MATURE, NORMAL & YOUTH/WOMAN are the only three sensible choices.
- We no longer offer different density in different head zones. (Custom ordering)
- Density can vary a bit up or down. Hand-made human-made, hairpieces and wigs always vary a little.
- We can advise on density based on a clear photo of you or a model. (Custom ordering)
- The thin knotless polyskin membranes have a maximum density of medium-light. (Custom ordering)
- The lightest SFS-lace has a maximum density of XL-L "Mature". (Currently not available)
About density and base materials:
- SFS or Super Fine Swiss lace is currently unavailable. This material had a maximum density of XL-L, or just under light. Beyond that, unsightly double knots would be required, making it more detectable than regular Swiss lace.
- Swiss lace is best for density up to LM (medium-light) and no higher.
- French lace is better for density higher than LM (medium-light).
- NG Membrane is best for density up to LM (medium-light). It is formed from liquid for every hairpiece and it is made thinner when the density is lower. NG can be much thicker when it is supporting medium-light density than when it only has to support extra-light density.
