Base Materials & Quality

Grey-Haired Wig – Technical Spec Sheet
(Factory-direct data sheet, HairNotion Senior R&D)

1. Objective
   Deliver a silver/grey system that is invisible at the hairline, cool on the scalp, and still brush-proof for 6-8 months daily wear.

2. Base Architecture (client chooses, we build)
   A. Swiss Lace 64 g/m² (true ultra-fine, not “light” Chinese lace)
   – Single knotted, 1 hair per knot, 38-40 knots/cm² on the first 2 cm perimeter.
   – Bleached knot #1B → translucent “grey root” so the grey fibre appears to grow from the skin.

B. Thin Skin 0.06 mm poly perimeter (stretch PU)
– Vapour-permeable micro-pores 80 µm, sweat escape 0.28 g cm⁻² h⁻¹ (ASTM E96).
– French-drawn knotting: hair injected 30° angle, returns buried under the film → zero return hair, zero knot bump.

C. Hybrid: Swiss lace front 3 cm + Thin Skin 0.08 mm crown + Mono top 120 g/m² back.
– Lace gives vanishing hairline; mono gives ventilation; PU gives tape adhesion perimeter.

1. Hair Stock
   100 % Remy human hair, Mongolian origin, natural grey streak (not bleached & re-dyed).
   – Cuticle intact, same direction > 92 % (SEM test).
   – Pre-pigment stripped < 6 % so we can cold-dye to any steel, silver or salt-&-pepper tone without over-lifting.
   – Diameter 65-72 µm, matches Caucasian grey calibre → no wiry look.

2. Knotting Matrix
   0–2 cm hairline: Single split knot, 8-10 hairs per cm, 38 knots/cm².
   2–4 cm: Single flat knot, 12-14 hairs per cm.
   4 cm+: Double reverse knot on mono, 16 hairs per cm → durability.
   Knot size 0.25 mm (Swiss lace) vs 0.18 mm (injected PU) → both disappear under 0.02 mm liquid foundation.

3. Grey Blending
   We blend 5-7 shade bands (Pantone 14-4005 TPX to 16-3802 TPX) and leave 5 % natural dark strand to kill “helmet” effect.
   Each bundle micro-pigmented in de-ionised water, pH 4.5, 20 °C, 45 min → colour fastness Grade 4 after 30 shampoo cycles (ISO 105-C06).

4. Comfort Package
   – Base perimeter edge 0.3 mm scallop so tape sits flush; no poly “ledge”.
   – Anti-bacterial bamboo-silk lining option (0.08 mm) wicks 1.8× cotton, reduces itch on bald scalps.
   – Average weight: 85 g (6″×8″ stock); 40 % lighter than silk-top equivalent.

5. Durability Benchmark
   – Brush test (robot, 250 g tension, 40 cycles/min): ≤ 10 % hair loss after 30 000 strokes → 6-8 months daily wear.
   – Tape lift: 3 M 1522 clear, 21 days average before edge lift (32 °C, 70 % RH).
   – Lace tear strength: 6.5 N (ASTM D5034) – will tear before knot slips, so repairs are possible.

6. Size & Density Map
   – Stock: 6″×8″, 8″×10″, custom within 48 h.
   – Density: 90 % (light), 100 % (medium), 115 % (heavy).
   – Front 1 cm graduated 45 % density so hairline is never “wall-like”.

7. Packing & QC
   – Each unit steamed on 55 °C head form 12 h to relax tension.
   – QC photos: 1× macro knot grid, 1× hairline 45° angle, 1× top under 5 500 K daylight.
   – Final spray: anti-static silicone 0.2 %, pH 4.5, comb-through, net, anti-UV bag.

8. User Notes (ship with every piece)
   – Use sulfate-free purple shampoo every 8–10 wear days to cancel yellow.
   – Lace front: no alcohol glue removers; oil-based only.
   – Store on 51 cm poly head, hair back, never stuff in drawer → crease will crack PU film.

Lead time: stock 24 h; custom colour/grey percentage 7-9 days.
Warranty: 30-day hairline invisibility guarantee, 120-day structural base warranty (lace tear, PU delamination).

We build each grey unit as if it were our own scalp—no shortcuts, no mixed fallen hair, no thick knots.

Factory Craftsmanship

As Senior Hair Replacement Specialist and Factory Manager at HairNotion, I’ll speak directly to you about our proven advantages for grey-haired wigs—no marketing fluff, just factory-tested realities. Grey hair is uniquely challenging: it’s finer, more brittle, and requires precise color blending to avoid unnatural “salt-and-pepper” patchiness. Our entire production system is engineered exclusively for this complexity. Here’s how:

🔹 4 Dedicated Craft Worker Groups (Specialized for Grey Hair Only)

Every step is handled by teams with decades of grey hair expertise—no cross-training with colored hair lines.
– Group 1: Hair Preparation & Sorting
Grey hair is hand-sorted by strand thickness and undertone (silver, ash, warm beige) under 5000K daylight lamps. Unlike standard wigs, we reject any hair with yellowing or inconsistent porosity—critical for longevity.
– Group 2: Color Blending & Toning
Our color specialists blend 3–5 shades per batch using only professional-grade, ammonia-free toners. They match realistic grey patterns (e.g., root shadowing, scattered silver strands), not solid blocks of color.
– Group 3: Scalp & Base Crafting
Grey hair often appears thinner, so we use ultra-fine Swiss lace and hand-knotting techniques for invisible partings. Each base is built to mimic natural scalp texture—no “plastic” look.
– Group 4: Advanced Hand-Tying
Our master tyers use micro-tips and 0.03mm threads for grey strands (which break easily). Every knot is tension-tested; we tie 20% fewer hairs per square inch than standard wigs to prevent bulkiness.

🔹 Separate Production Lines (Zero Cross-Contamination)

Grey hair wigs never touch equipment used for colored hair. We have dedicated grey-only lines with:
– Customized cleaning baths (pH-balanced for brittle grey strands)
– Low-heat steamers (max 60°C vs. 85°C for colored hair) to prevent yellowing
– Dedicated glue stations for sensitive adhesives (no residue from darker hair chemicals)
This eliminates 99% of discoloration issues we see from shared lines at competitors.

🔹 Strict QC Protocol (38-Point Inspection)

Every grey wig undergoes our “Grey Hair Verification Process” before shipping:
1. Color Accuracy Check: Spectrophotometer testing against client-provided swatches (tolerance: ±1.5% ΔE).
2. Strand Integrity Test: 100 strands pulled for tensile strength—grey hair must withstand 1.5x normal pull force.
3. Scalp Simulation Test: Wigs are worn on silicone heads under UV light to detect unnatural shine or patchiness.
4. Wear Simulation: 72-hour humidity/heat cycling (mimicking 6 months of real use) to ensure no color fade or shedding.
Result: 98.7% first-pass approval rate—industry average is 82% for grey wigs.

Why This Matters for You

As a factory-direct partner, you get consistent, client-ready grey wigs—no last-minute color corrections, no premature graying, no scalp visibility issues. Our process cuts returns by 40% compared to standard wig factories. If you’re sourcing grey hair wigs for high-end clients or medical needs, this level of control isn’t optional—it’s non-negotiable.

We don’t just make wigs. We solve the real problems of grey hair. Let’s discuss how we can tailor this for your specific needs.

Usage Guide & Tips

HairNotion Senior Specialist – Factory-Direct Guidance
Grey-Haired Wig Selection & Maintenance

1. CHOOSING THE RIGHT GREY WIG

A. Hair origin & construction – start here, colour comes second
• European/Slavic grey: 5–15 % of donor hair is naturally grey; we leave it un-pigmented. Result: ultra-realistic silver, but limited stock & higher price.
• Chinese/Indian virgin hair: we de-pigment and re-tone to pearl/grey. Fibre strength is high, price lower, colour range wider.
• Grey synthetic (Japanese Futura): looks perfect out-of-box, zero styling, but 160 °C heat ceiling and 6-8 month life.

B. Density chart – grey hair is visually “bulkier” than pigmented hair
| User age / bio hair left | Suggested density (%) | Knotting |
|————————–|———————–|———-|
| 25-45, fashion grey | 100-110 | Single split knots, bleached knots front |
| 45-60, early grey | 90-100 | Single, lightly bleached |
| 60+, full loss | 80-90 | Single, no bleach (avoids white dots) |
Factory rule: every 10 % lower density = 8 % lighter weight & 15 % better breathability.

C. Grey colour language we use in the workshop
1. “Percentage” = how much white fibre vs dark fibre in the bundle.
2. “Tone” = the reflect (cool, steel, warm, ash).
3. “Root” = light shadow added 0.5-1 cm at base to mimic regrowth.

Quick selection cheat-sheet
• Skin tone pink/rosy → choose “Steel 80 %” or “Ash Silver 90 %”.
• Skin tone yellow/olive → choose “Pearl 60 %” or “Smoky Grey 70 %”.
• Want zero upkeep → order 10 % darker root; grey roots don’t show re-growth contrast.

D. Grey hairline extras
• Lace front + 1 ½” poly perimeter: glue-less everyday wear, tapes last 10-14 days.
• Full hand-tied mono top with silk injection: no return hair, part anywhere, ideal if you still have 50 % grey bio hair underneath.

2. ATTACHMENT – SAFE FOR SILVER HAIR

A. No-shave methods (most grey clients prefer)
1. Ultra-thin skin (0.03 mm) + red-liner tape – daily wear, remove nightly.
2. Clip-only silk top integration piece – 4 pressure-sensitive clips, 2 cm wide wefts, adds volume to thinning crown without covering whole head.

B. Semi-permanent
1. Perimeter poly + No-Shine tape (4-week hold).
2. Soft bond (Ultra-Hold) – 4-6 weeks; apply Ghost-Bond XL sparingly, cure 7 min under cool dryer (grey hair yellows if overheated).

C. Colour-safe prep
• Always wash bio hair with clarifying shampoo, NO conditioner.
• 99 % alcohol wipe on scalp only – keep alcohol off grey hair, it dulls reflect.

3. CLEANING – KEEP THE SILVER BRIGHT

Frequency: every 10–12 wearings or 14 days, whichever first.
Water: lukewarm ≤ 30 °C.
Shampoo: sulphate-free, violet pigment ≤ 0.1 % (higher pigment = purple tinge).
Conditioner: silicone-free, pH 4.5-5.5; apply mid-shaft to ends, keep off knots.

Step-by-step
1. Comb through with wide-tooth before wetting.
2. Submerge in basin, shampoo by gently squeezing, no rubbing.
3. Rinse 2 min under slow running water until slick feeling gone.
4. Condition 3 min, rinse 30 sec.
5. Towel blot (microfiber), spray 2-3 pumps argan leave-in with UV filter.
6. Air-dry on fold-over stand, no blow-dry unless diffuser < 40 °C.

Yellowing rescue (factory formula)
• Mix 1 L distilled water + 3 g sodium bicarbonate + 5 ml violet concentrate (0.2 %). Soak 15 min, rinse, condition. Do not exceed once per month.

4. STORAGE & LONG-TERM CARE

• Keep on canvas block 1–2 cm smaller than head to maintain curl.
• Satin bag + silica gel pack if you live > 60 % humidity.
• Re-tone service: every 9-12 months we re-bath in cool toner, re-seal cuticle – factory charge US $45, 48 h turnaround.

5. LIFESPAN EXPECTANCY (factory data)

European grey virgin, hand-tied: 14-18 months
Processed Chinese virgin grey: 10-12 months
Futura synthetic grey: 6-8 months
Tip: rotating two units doubles calendar life of each.
