Silk top hair systems come in two varieties: single and double. The main distinction between them is how the hair is attached to the base.

Single Silk Top Hair Systems

  • No hair returns and no hair root
  • Root is cut to the same level, brushed with thick layers of poly to secure the hair
  • Harder, thicker base (3 layers of wig poly)
  • Looks more professional and polished appearance
  • Costs more
  • Recommended to high-end clients
  • Meticulous process with longer production time

Double Silk Top Hair Systems

  • More widely used
  • Shorter production time
  • Higher density – the hair returns create two strands from one knot
  • Highly recommended for men’s hair systems and toupees
  • More breathable – thinner base
  • Thinner base (2 thin layers of wig poly)
  • Not suggested for longer hair units
