Choosing the right base material for your custom toupee is crucial for achieving a natural look and ensuring comfort and durability. At HairNotion, we specialize in crafting high-quality custom hair systems tailored to your unique needs. In this guide, we’ll explore the three primary base types—lace, skin (polyurethane), and monofilament—to help you make an informed decision.
Lace Base: Breathable and Natural
Lace bases are renowned for their lightweight and breathable nature, making them ideal for warmer climates and active lifestyles. The fine mesh material allows for excellent ventilation, providing comfort during extended wear. Additionally, lace bases offer a natural-looking hairline, enhancing the overall realism of the toupee.
Pros:
Exceptional breathability
Lightweight and comfortable
Natural appearance, especially at the hairline
Cons:
Less durable compared to other base types
Requires careful handling during application and removal
Skin (Polyurethane) Base: Realistic and Easy to Maintain
Skin bases, made from thin polyurethane material, closely mimic the appearance of the scalp, offering a highly realistic look. They are easy to clean and maintain, making them a popular choice for those seeking convenience. However, skin bases may be less breathable than lace or mono bases.
Pros:
Highly realistic scalp appearance
Easy to clean and maintain
Secure attachment with adhesives
Cons:
Less breathable, which may cause discomfort in hot weather
May not be as durable as monofilament bases
Monofilament Base: Durable and Versatile
Monofilament bases are constructed from a fine mesh material that offers a balance between durability and natural appearance. They are suitable for individuals with sensitive scalps and can support higher hair densities. While slightly heavier than lace bases, monofilament bases provide a comfortable and secure fit. (mono always use in the middle of the toupee)
Pros:
Durable and long-lasting
Comfortable for sensitive scalps
Supports higher hair densities
Cons:
Slightly heavier than lace bases
May not offer the same level of breathability
Choosing the Right Base for Your Custom Toupee

Lifestyle: If you lead an active lifestyle or live in a warm climate, a lace base may offer the breathability you need.
