Phillipa wig Orchid Collection Rene of Paris

Fibre wigs which are worn on a daily basis, will last between four to six months. The longevity of the longer styles may be less, due to the fibres at the tips becoming rubbed against your clothes.

Permatease is an abbreviation for permanent teasing. It is located at the top area of the wig and has two functions. 1. To create volume and lift. 2. To hide the wefts of the cap base.

Permatease is a versatile hairstyling technique that plays a crucial role in the construction of wigs and hairpieces, helping to enhance volume, coverage, and overall appearance. By teasing the hair at the roots, permatease creates a base of support for the rest of the hair to sit on, resulting in a fuller, more voluminous appearance.

It is made up of short, matted fibres and can sometimes give a singed effect if the permatease is not lifted enough.

You are not required to remove your wig through airport security. We recommend though that you check to see if there is any metal within your cap construction. Metal may trigger sensors throughout the security. If you use metal clips of bobby pins to secure your wig it may be advisable to remove them whilst you travel.

Airport staff are accustomed to dealing with a wide range of personal accessories and clothing items during screenings. Just be prepared to cooperate with any additional inspection procedures if necessary, and you should have no problems travelling with your wig.

Yes, you can easily change the parting if your wig features a monofilament or hand-tied cap construction, as these types offer greater flexibility as they are constructed with individual hairs hand-tied to the cap material, allowing for natural movement and versatility.

However, if your wig is synthetic, it is very unlikely that you can alter the parting effectively due to the limitations of synthetic fibres and construction methods. They are typically constructed with pre-set partings and styles, as the fibres are manufactured to maintain their shape and style. Attempting to change the parting on a synthetic wig can be challenging and may not yield satisfactory results.

A monofilament is a type of wig cap construction upon which a fine layer of transparent micro-mesh is inserted at the parting, crown or top area. Each strand of hair is then individually hand-tied to this layer of mesh to mimic natural hair growth and to give a natural appearance. They are ideal for individuals seeking a natural-looking and comfortable wig solution, whether for fashion purposes, hair loss, or medical reasons.

The key features that a monofilament wig can have, include:

• Monofilament Top: The top of the wig is made from a fine, breathable mesh material known as 'monofilament'. Individual hairs are hand-tied to the monofilament, allowing for a natural look and versatile styling.
  
• Monofilament Part: Only a section of the wig, typically along the parting line, is made from monofilament. This offers a more affordable option while still providing a natural look at the part.
  
• Monofilament Crown: The monofilament material is concentrated at the crown of the wig, giving a natural appearance at the top while the rest of the cap may be constructed from other materials.

The benefits include:

• Natural Look: The hand-tied construction and realistic scalp appearance help the wig look natural.
  
• Comfort: Lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for those with sensitive scalps or undergoing medical treatments.
  
• Styling Flexibility: The ability to part the hair in any direction allows for more styling options.
  
• Durability: High-quality monofilament wigs can be more durable and long-lasting compared to other wig types.
