Answer: A monofilament wig is constructed with hairs that are more evenly dispersed on the cap than they are with a standard wig. This gives the appearance of individual hairs growing from the scalp, which is very natural looking. With a standard cap, the hairs are dispersed in rows or lines. Monofilament wigs offer the most styling versatility. The part can be moved or changed because the hair is evenly dispersed on the wig. See similar questions...

No matter what your hair length we would recommend that you use a Wig Cap Liner. This will hold all hairs securely in place under your wig. Even if you have no hair this liner will make wearing your wig feel more secure. Hold the wig with one hand by the back (where the tags are). Loosen the velcro straps or hooks in the back of the wig, you can re-size it later. Grasp the wig by the sides and slip it over your hair. See similar questions...

A No and no! You can't remove it yourself. Unlike a wig or hairpiece, you don't "take it off" at night, or before you get in the shower; you don't need to "dress" it etc. The system is integrated into your existing hair so it becomes a part of you. This means that you can wash and style it just like you would a normal head of hair; you can swim, go out in the wind and rain etc. all without fear of detection.

A lace wig, also called a lace "unit", "hair system" or "cranial hair prosthetic", are hair extensions that create the illusion that hair is growing out of one's scalp, and therefore is one of the most natural looking extensions on the market.

Answer: Most monofilament is non-biodegradable-it lasts about 600 years. Because it is thin and often clear, it is very difficult for birds and animals to see and they can easily brush up against it and become entangled in it. Once entangled, they may become injured, may drown, may become strangled, or may starve to death. Many animals also ingest fishing line. One recovered sea turtle was found to have consumed 590 feet of heavy-duty fishing line. See similar questions...

Answer: The monofilament is collected from recycling bins and cleaned of hooks, leaders, weights, and trash by volunteers. It is then shipped to the Berkley Pure Fishing Company in Iowa.

It is not made into more monofilament line. See similar questions...

Take your new hairpiece out of its packet and remember to give it a good vigorous shake to let air filter through into the wig fibres. They will tend to be a bit flat in the packet after shipping, and this will make your new hairpiece spring into life. If you have or use a wig cap, place this on your head first, make sure the front of the wig cap is sitting on your natural hair line, and that all your hair is concealed under the cap.
