Question 6: 6. How do the two main types of wigs differ?

Answer:

Answer:

? Cap wigs are constructed of an elasticized mesh-fiber base to which the hair is attached.

Capless wigs, also known as open caps, are machine-made from human or artificial hair. These wigs still have a cap, but the wefts of hair are less dense and are sewn in with vertical lace strips, resulting in a lot of open space. Capless wigs allow ventilation at the scalp and help prevent excess perspiration.They are generally less expensive than cap wigs.

Individual hair strands are attached to the client's own hair with a bonding material that is activated by heat from a special tool.? Linking. Uses a hook to pick up a small amount of hair from a parting and feed it through a link. The link is moved to the scalp, and a thin hair extension is inserted into the link. The link is pinched flat with a special pair of pliers.
