Types of wig knot
Bleached knots: After tying the hair to the base, you brush a layer of bleach liquid on the knot areas. The whole hair system is cleaned, and the result is a lighter color in the root. Bleached knots give completely undetectable hair, but chemicals are used for bleaching, and this results in making hair rootless durable.
A double knot is considered the most durable knot. A double knot is more visible than the single knot, so it is mainly used for the back and applied prevalently to lace and mono base materials. This knotting technique is most popular for the integration of hairpieces for women. That is why you don’t need the knots to be undetectable as they will hide beneath your natural hair. This knot is durable and easy to style, but it is a highly detectable knot.
Single Split Knot: It is mainly used on skin and lace base materials. The hair is ventilated in a way that it stays half on one side and a half on the other side of the hole. So you’ll have two strands out of one. In lace wigs, this knotting method is used especially in the front, for a natural, gradual hairline. On the skin, they are a good alternative to other techniques if what you are looking for is durability. Less visible than double knots, more durable than single knots, and can be combed in any direction but In this wig knotting technique the hair parts have different angles, so it might not be the best choice for some hairstyles (usually short hair)
New Single Split Knot: The name says it all! It develops from the single split knot, but it’s more durable and stronger than it. This wig knotting technique allows hair to be more undetectable than double or double split knots and can be styled the way you want. The new single split knot is stronger than a single split knot, but It is less durable than the double or double split knot.
Double Split Knot: Specially used with lace and mono base designs, double split knots are more durable than single split knots and also are less visible than double knots. Because of their thick texture, we don’t use them much for the front areas of our hairpieces unless our client demands it. It is durable and can be combed in any direction but highly detectable.
Injected knots: These wig knotting techniques are available only for skin, silicon, or PU base designs. You place the base on a mold and use a special needle to inject the hair to the base. After this, you flip the base over and clip off the extra hairs which are on that side.
