Lace Top Sheitel
Swiss lace crown and free parting
A lace top sheitel is built around a crown of fine Swiss lace. Hair is hand knotted there, so the part can move without a machine track sitting under it.
Overview
A lace top sheitel is built around a crown of fine Swiss lace. Hair is hand knotted there, so the part can move without a machine track sitting under it.
Sides and back are machine wefts on a breathable mesh. That keeps the weight down and keeps wholesale runs consistent — without giving up the part.
It is the everyday construction most salons stock first: flexible enough for a stylist to re-part on the client, stable enough to reorder in a colour run.
Key Benefits
Free Parting
The hand-tied crown lets the stylist part in the direction she chooses, on the client, without rebuilding the cap.
All-Day Lightness
Fine lace at the crown and breathable mesh at the sides sit comfortably for a full day of wear.
A Part That Recedes
When the part is set well, fine Swiss lace recedes in ordinary daylight at conversation distance.
Built for Tzniut
Length, colour and density are set with the salon for modest daily wear — not for a stage look.
Who It Is For
- Sheitel salons in Israel and the United States that need an everyday free-part line on the shelf.
- Machers who want the raw lace-top cap and a finished sheitel built on the same construction.
- Private-label brands that need a stable repeat series in conservative tones with controlled highlights.
Problems It Solves
A Part That Shows Mesh
A hand-tied crown replaces the machine track in the first place the eye lands.
Weight and Heat
Fine lace and mesh sides reduce weight against a fully opaque cap.
No Flexibility for the Stylist
The part can be changed on the client without rebuilding the cap.

Kosher-Compliant Construction Notes
A lace top on its own is not a hechsher. If the community requires natural hair to be fully blocked through the lace holes, choose a fabric-lined cap or a front fabric-ribbon band. We do not display a certificate we do not hold.
This page describes construction. It is not a rabbinic ruling.
How It Compares
| Lace Top | Silk Top | Mono | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parting | Free; lace may show up close | Scalp illusion, hidden knots | Durable, fine mesh look |
| Weight | Light | Light to medium | Medium |
| Best for | Flexible weekdays | Bright light and occasions | Long wear and durability |
The choice follows community custom and the salon brief. This is not a halachic ranking.

Use and Care
Air dry. Brush with a wide-tooth comb from the ends upward. Keep tension off the lace, especially while the hair is wet. Store on a display head in an airy place.
No base measurements are published on this site. Fit is closed in consulting.

Does a lace top always need lining?
It depends on custom. Communities that require a full block of natural hair should use a lined cap or a front fabric-ribbon band. The ruling sits with the community rav.
Can we order the cap only?
Yes. The same lace-top construction is available as a raw cap, or with hair ventilated to order.
Where are the sizes?
They are not on the site. Base measurements and numeric density are closed in a consulting conversation.
How is a trial order handled?
Ask for a hair sample before a colour run. Quantities and terms are closed in consulting — there is no public price list on this site.
