What is a Monofilament Top Wig?

Apr 01, 2024

When researching wigs, you may have come across the phrase monofilament top or just mono top wigs. If you do not have a lot of experience with hairpieces, all the terminology may be confusing.

At the Lauren Ashtyn Collection, we completely understand how confusing and deep the research can be. Wig and hair toppers are a complicated topic!

We get questions about monofilament top wigs all the time. We are here to explain what the term means and help you make an educated decision. We’ll teach you all the downsides and benefits of monofilament top wigs.

Monofilament Hair Topper Wigs

Monofilament top wigs or mono top wigs are wigs that have a transparent mesh-like lace. This is on top of the wig, where the hair connects to the material. Monofilament wigs offer comfort and create the illusion of a natural hairline.

For the Lauren Ashtyn Collection, we make every wig and topper with 100% European Remy human hair. We hand-tie each hair into place on the monofilament top. These individually hand-tied wigs do not require a wig cap.

Mono wigs feature styling versatility and are ideal for women dealing with hair loss. This gives the best and most natural look when wearing a wig.

 

Benefits of Monofilament Top Wigs

Numerous benefits mean that you should consider a mono top wig. The biggest reason is they give you the most realistic looking scalp and hairline. Because of their unique construction, you can part mono top wigs in multiple directions. This gives a more realistic movement to the hair.

Another great aspect of a mono top wig is its durability. Because of the hand tying technique, the hair is much more durable. The hair in these wigs is less likely to fall out over time, if taken care of properly.

Mono top wigs are uniquely wearable. In fact, they provide an unmatched level of comfort for the wearer. The mesh base is soft and pliable and molds to your head with ease.

Cons to Mono Top Wigs

One of the only cons of a mono top wig is the price point. This type of wig is a luxury item and with 40 hours of work on each wig, you can understand why.

We know that handmade monofilament wigs are an investment. Thankfully, you can buy our extensions, toppers, and wigs through ShopPay or Affirm with interest free payments over time. We believe in providing quality wigs to women who need them, no matter what their budget is.
