When choosing the right materials for wig making, understanding the difference between a PU sheet and a skin sheet is essential. Both options are popular for creating realistic wig bases, but they serve different purposes depending on your technique and desired results.
PU Sheet (0.08mm) – Best for Structured, Faux Parts
The PU sheet is thicker and more durable, making it ideal for stationary parts or faux parting areas. Because of its density, hair must be injected directly into the base. This method creates a smooth, natural appearance but offers less flexibility.
Skin Sheet (0.06mm) – Thin, Lightweight, and Versatile
The skin sheet is thinner, semi-transparent, and very flexible—perfect for creating realistic partings, glue tabs, or lightweight wig bases. Hair can be added using multiple methods, including injection, hand punching, or ventilation with short or long needles, giving you more customization options.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose a PU sheet if you need a strong, stable base for a fixed part.
Choose a skin sheet if you want flexibility, natural transparency, and more freedom in your ventilation method.
