The hair loss region is larger than 10" x 8" and up to 10" x 10", extending from the front of the hairline to the back of the top. It's approximately 3/4 cap with no temple or nape area.

Full-cap hairpieces are most popular among women and men who have lost all of their hair or seek complete scalp coverage. These complete cap hair systems cover the entire head and, in most cases, include the nape and sideburn areas.

Measuring for a Full Cap

Circumference

The circumference is the longest section of the scalp. Start measuring with a gentle tape from the hairline to the middle of your forehead. Then, mark it behind the ears. The next point is the nape of the neck, which leads back to the beginning. Then mark the entire circumference. Now, using a scale, measure the circumference's units.

Front to back

Place the tape on the center of the forehead and measure the hairline at the nape of the neck. Pass the tape through the center of your head.

Ear to Ear, Over the Forehead and Head

Apply the tape from the right ear. Run it from the center of the forehead to the left ear. Measure from left to right ear. Do the same for over the head as well.

Nape width

Nape width refers to the width of the hairline over the nape of the neck. Measure from the bottom point on the bone that lies behind your ear (mastoid bone) across the neck to the other.

Types of Base Materials for Hair Systems

There are various types of base materials used in the manufacture of hair systems. Three primary base materials are commonly used. Lace, skin, and mono base.

Lace

Lace is translucent, lightweight, silky, and breathable. It's an excellent solution for people who live in hot, humid climates or sweat a lot. Lace provides a wonderful front and top appearance because of their delicate and transparent lace. Furthermore, bleaching knots can assist achieve a realistic hairline. However, lace hair systems will require attentive and frequent maintenance. French lace is the most commonly used base material for Lace. It is translucent and can be colored with different colors to create a natural hairpiece. It is soft and delicate.

Skin

It is becoming popular among customers, particularly for thin skin hair systems. The skin base is silky and pleasant. Skin hair systems with V-loop and injection hair are very natural. Another advantage of skin is its ease of attachment and cleanup.

A skin base with polyurethane coating is the thickest poly base material. PU Coating offers a higher capacity to hold heavy hair. This is a complete combo of lace and mono material. This is highly visible, thus you should put it under the hair to conceal the poly well.

Mono

There are four varieties of mono material that are typically used: fine mono, fine and superfine welded mono, and silk mono.

Fine Mono- This is the most popular mono base material. It is extremely robust and breathable. Fine mono-base material has a high density.

Fine-welded mono and super fine welded mono base materials are essentially the same. The only difference is in net thickness. Fine and super-welded mono are slightly stiffer than lace foundation material. They are also breathable.

Silk Mono- These are typically used beneath the silk top, thus they are quite soft. It's more comfy to wear. This method is incredibly natural because ventilation is introduced into the lace.
