Silk Top Sheitel

Double-layer silk that hides the knots

The double silk layer covers the knots from above. Someone looking at the part sees a scalp-like surface rather than dark knot dots.

Overview

The double silk layer covers the knots from above. Someone looking at the part sees a scalp-like surface rather than dark knot dots.

This is the line salons ask for when a client stands in hard daylight, in front of a camera, or close across a holiday table.

Free parting is kept: the direction can change without a machine track appearing under the silk.

Key Benefits

Hidden Knots

The upper silk layer sits over the knot points, so the part does not read as dotted.

Scalp Illusion

The part stays quiet at a window, under salon light, and in photographs.

Free Parting

Direction can change without exposing a machine track under the base.

Daily and Occasions

Conservative tones and a natural finish — the same piece works on a weekday and at a simcha.

Who It Is For

  • Salon clients who inspect the part up close before they buy.
  • Wholesalers selling one line that has to carry both everyday wear and occasions.
  • Brands that need clean catalogue photography of a part without retouching it.

Problems It Solves

Knot Dots in the Part

The silk layer covers them, so the part does not betray the cap at close range.

Bright Light

The scalp illusion holds at a window, where fine lace is at its most visible.

Looking Like a Wig

The part is the first test. This construction is built to pass it quietly.

Technical Features

Double-Layer Silk

A scalp-like top layer with a support layer beneath it.

Concealed Knotting

Knots are drawn so they face away from view under the top layer.

Perimeter to Order

Mesh, wefts or a full hand tie by pattern. Straps and clips to the brief.

Materials

A quality silk-style sheitel base — not apparel silk. Virgin or Remy human hair. Swiss front lace can be added by pattern. Colour and rooting follow the salon swatch.

Customization Options

Colour, rooting, natural density, optional front lace, wefts or a full hand tie. Measurements are closed in conversation.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Silk Base

    Two layers cut and stitched at the perimeter.

  2. Ventilating Through Silk

    Knots are drawn so they remain under the top layer.

  3. Perimeter

    Mesh, wefts or a full hand tie to order.

  4. Light Check

    The part is inspected under bright light on a display head.

Quality Control

We check that the silk is not unnaturally shiny, that no knot pokes through the top layer, and that hair direction in the part is even before packing.

Kosher-Compliant Construction Notes

A silk top improves the part; it does not block natural hair on its own. If hair must be blocked through holes, add a fabric lining or choose a front fabric-ribbon band. Not a rabbinic ruling.

This page describes construction. It is not a rabbinic ruling.

Use and Care

Do not scrape the silk base with a hard brush. Air dry and keep direct heat off the base. The salon sets the exact heat and product routine for the piece.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real silk?

It is a sheitel silk base — a layer built to hide knots and read as scalp. It is not apparel fabric.

Can we have silk without front lace?

Yes. There is also a silk-plus-front-lace cap for salons that want a softer hairline where custom allows it.

Does the silk shine under a camera?

We check each base under bright light on a display head and reject a base that reads unnaturally shiny.

Where are the sizes?

Not on the site. Fit is closed in a consulting conversation.
