WIGS COMPARISON

What kind of WIG do I choose

Not sure which hair topper suits you best? Compare different styles, bases and hair types to find the perfect match for your needs. Discover the key differences and choose with confidence.

All Hair by V wigs has a multidirectional parting, can be worn glueless, with or without bio hair underneath.

Lace top wigs, while ultra-realistic and breathable, are more delicate than silk top wigs and require more gentle care when washing, styling, and wearing.

With proper care, they’ll last you a good while, but I usually suggest replacing your lace top every 8-12 months if worn frequently. Silicone lining can be added to any cap construction for extra comfort and grip.

LACE TOP WIGS

Fall in love with the lightweight feel, breathable cap and realistic hairline. This wig is perfect for women looking for a natural, low-density look with a luxurious finish.

If you want more natural flow & volume at the roots, lace tops are a great choice. Unlike silk tops which lay flatter at the part, lace top wigs can be styled to add height. That said, you’re not stuck with high volume either just use a hot comb or blow dryer to flatten the roots if that’s the look you prefer.

Lace gives you the best of both worlds: volume when you want it, smooth when you don’t. You don’t need to have full hair loss to wear lace wigs. They’re a fantastic, natural option for anyone.

For those who want breathability, styling flexibility, and a lightweight feel.

A lace top wig with a wefted back

A lace top wig with a comfortable and breathable wefted back. Designed for natural movement and everyday wear.
 

Construction

  • Lace top with multi-directional parting for flexible styling

  • Standard density: 130% (low or high density available upon request)

  • Lace front from ear to ear for a realistic hairline

  • Close-wefted back cap with ear tabs, clips, and adjustable straps for a secure fit

  • Stock items usually come without bleached knots, as I prioritize durability, though this can be custom ordered.

  • Depending on the color, knots may be slightly visible, but they can easily be softened with a touch of powder at the parting (I recommend L’Oréal True Match)

  • Knots at the hairline can be made using lighter hair, which I custom-color by hand for a soft, natural blend

  • This cap can come with a silk liner, diamond liner, or no liner -  more information can be found in the FAQ section

Do lace top wig have return hairs?

Yes — lace top wigs include short return hairs (around 2–3 cm), which help create a more natural and dynamic look. These shorter hairs mimic the way natural hair grows, adding soft texture and subtle movement around the roots.

If you prefer a super sleek look, you can easily smooth them down using a flat iron, blow dryer, or hot comb. For a little more volume and lift, simply style them upward or use a bit of heat for gentle root height.

Why choose a lace top wig?

  • Lightweight and breathable — perfect for all-day comfort

  • Natural movement and root volume — style it flat or add lift as you wish

  • Multi-directional parting — change your part anytime

  • Realistic hairline with small knots for a natural finish

  • Can be worn glueless, with or without bio hair underneath

  • Ideal for anyone looking for a soft, airy, and natural look

Lace tops might not be for you if:
 

  • You prefer zero maintenance (lace requires gentler care)

  • You want completely invisible knots — they can be softened with powder but not fully hidden

  • You’re very sensitive to lace texture (a silk liner or diamond liner can help — see FAQ for details)

PROS & CONS
PROS
  • Super lightweight and breathable, ideal for all-day wear

  • Great for creating natural root volume

  • Gives a realistic hairline with small knots

  • Easy to style, add volume or flatten as you prefer

  • Works well with or without bio hair

CONS
  • Knots are slightly visible and may need powder to conceal

  • Lace can feel itchy for sensitive scalps (but removable silk lining helps)

  • Less durable than silk tops - I usually recommend replacing after 8-12 months with frequent wear

  • Part line may not be as seamless as a silk top

SILK TOP LACE FRONT WIGS

Silk top wigs have the most realistic parting. It’s like the hair is growing straight from your scalp.


A Seamless Silk Top Lace Front Wig is an upgraded version of the classic silk top lace front wig. It combines a silk top for a flawless scalp look with a lace front for a natural hairline and it transitions seamless between the two, with no bulky ridge.

Silk tops are completely opaque. The knots and returns are ‘sandwiched’ inside, so they’re hidden from view. This means the parting looks exactly like real scalp. No powder or plucking needed.

Plus, the ultra-soft material and silicone grip make it super secure and comfortable.

For those who want the most realistic scalp look with a soft, secure fit.

A Silk top lace front wig with a wefted back

 

Construction

  • Seamless silk top for a flawless, scalp-like appearance

  • Lace front from temple to temple for a natural hairline

  • Standard density: 150% (custom densities available upon request)

  • Wefted back for a soft yet structured feel

  • Multi-directional parting for versatile styling

  • Silicone-lined ear tabs and nape for extra grip and comfort

  • Glueless and beginner-friendly – secure even without clips or wig grip

  • Medical-grade cap, extremely secure and gentle on sensitive scalps

Do silk top wigs have return hairs?

No — the multi-layer construction holds the hair completely flat against the scalp. The knots and shorter return hairs are sandwiched between layers, so there’s no extra volume caused by return hairs.

While this design is perfect for achieving a sleek and polished look, it can slightly reduce the topper’s ability to mimic natural movement compared to lace tops, where return hairs add a bit of texture and flow.

Why choose a silk top lace front wig?

  • The most realistic parting - invisible knots, no return hairs

  • The silk top hides dark bio hair underneath - no extra effort needed

  • Very durable - these wigs last years with proper care

  • The stretchy cap is soft and gentle, even on sensitive skin

  • Glueless wear with silicone grip lining - no clips, glue, or grips needed

  • Perfect for complete hair loss or those who want a secure wig without extra fuss

Silk tops might not be for you if

  • You prefer lower density, especially at the front

  • You want maximum breathability

  • You like to style your wig in high ponytails

Wefted back vs handtied back?

The difference is mainly in how the back of the wig is constructed and how it feels and moves.


A wefted back cap is made of strips of hair sewn together, usually by machine. These wefts are layered to form the back of the wig. 


A handtied back cap, each strand of hair is individually tied to the cap. Result is a wig that’s typically lighter, more flexible, and offers more natural movement, especially when styling.

If you want maximum comfort, realistic movement, and natural styling, go handtied. If you’re looking for durability, volume, go wefted.

PROS & CONS OF A WEFTED/HANDTIED BACK
PROS WEFTED BACK
  • Durable & stronger: Wefts can take more tugging and brushing without as much risk of damage.

  • More volume: Great for those who want a fuller look without teasing or styling tricks.

  • Quicker production: That means shorter turnaround times sometimes!

CONS WEFTED BACK
  • Heavier feel: Especially with thicker wefts - can feel bulkier on the head.

  • Less natural movement: Hair doesn’t move quite as freely, especially when pulled back or parted in certain ways.

  • Can be warmer: Not ideal if you tend to overheat or wear your wig for long hours.

PRO HANDTIED BACK
  • Ultimate comfort: No wefts, no bulk, just soft mesh that moves with your scalp. Ideal for sensitive scalps or full-time wearers.

  • Super realistic movement: Each hair is individually tied, so the hair flows naturally in every direction. Think: ‘Is it growing out of your scalp?’ kind of vibe.

  • More versatile styling: You can wear low ponytails or messy buns without wefts peeking out  huge plus!

  • Lightweight: Less bulk = less weight. Great for hot weather or long wear.

CONS HANDTIED BACK
  • More delicate: Handtied areas are more fragile and need gentler handling. Not ideal if you’re rough on your wigs.

  • Slightly less volume: Since there’s no wefting, you might get a flatter look unless the hair is layered well or has added volume elsewhere.

  • Might feel less tight to the back of the head due to the soft fabric.

So… which one should you choose?
  • A natural, airy feel

  • Flexible root styling

  • A cap that breathes easily

  • A wig that blends well with some of your own hair

  • The most scalp-realistic part

  • Zero visible knots or return hairs

  • A clean, seamless finish with no fuss

  • Maximum security and comfort
