Wigs For Bald Men Choosing A Full Coverage Unit

What A Full Swiss Lace Base Actually Is

A full Swiss lace base is a fine, transparent mesh made from natural silk or synthetic fibres, with hair tied into individual knots along the front and sides. The result is a hairline that blends with your own skin, especially in natural light.

The base is lightweight and allows air to pass through, which helps reduce heat buildup. This makes it a good choice for long wear, especially in warm climates or during physical activity.

• Swiss lace is finer and more durable than French lace, with a tighter weave that resists stretching
• The hairline is nearly invisible when styled correctly, especially with a natural part or side part
• Knots can shed over time, especially with frequent washing or styling, which is the trade-off for the look

What A Thin Skin Base Actually Is

A thin skin base is a sheet of polyurethane, typically 0.02mm to 0.12mm thick, with hair tied or looped into it. It mimics the appearance of real scalp because there is no visible mesh.

The thinner the sheet, the more natural it looks, especially at the hairline. The thicker it is, the more durable it becomes, but it may show slightly at the front.

• 0.04mm to 0.06mm is a common thickness for daily wear: it looks natural and survives regular handling
• The surface is smooth, so tape and liquid adhesive bond well and wipe clean easily
• It does not breathe, so it can feel warmer than lace or mono, especially in hot weather

What A Fine Welded Mono Base Actually Is

A fine welded mono base is a thin, breathable fabric with hair individually welded into it. It is stiffer than lace or skin but more durable than lace over time.

The base allows air to pass through, so it feels cooler than skin, and it holds up well under repeated removal and reattachment.

• The hairline is not as seamless as skin or lace, but it can be styled to look natural with a soft part
• The base is stronger than lace and less likely to tear from daily wear or styling
• It feels stiffer than lace or skin, which may affect comfort for some wearers

The Trade-Offs You Can't Ignore

No base is perfect for every need. The choice depends on what you value most: invisibility, breathability, durability, or ease of care.

A thin skin base gives the most natural look but traps heat. Swiss lace breathes best but may shed knots over time. Fine welded mono lasts longer but feels stiffer and shows more at the hairline.

Fitting And Looking After One

Each base type has its own care routine. The right method keeps the unit looking fresh and extends its life.

For thin skin, clean adhesive residue after every removal to prevent buildup. For lace, avoid pulling on the knots during washing. For mono, avoid heavy heat styling to prevent warping.

• Cut the base to your template before first fitting to ensure a secure fit
• Use a gentle wig shampoo and avoid alcohol-based products on the front
• Store the unit on a wig stand or in a breathable bag when not in use
• Attach with double-sided tape or liquid adhesive depending on your scalp and activity level
• Have the hair cut in on your head so the front blends with your natural hairline

Ordering One That Fits

Stock units are available in standard sizes, but custom sizing is possible. If your head is between sizes, send a template or your measurements and we cut the base before shipping, which adds 2 to 5 working days.

Hair colour is selected by code, from 1# jet black through 613#, with grey blends like 1B30# or 1B65#. Using the code ensures the next unit matches this one.
