At Nova Wigs, every wig in our catalogue is rated according to a comfort index ranging from 1 to 6 stars. This scale reflects the construction technique of the wig cap, from the most accessible to the most refined, so you can choose the level of comfort and natural appearance that suits you best.
Full Lace — 100% Hand-Tied
Rated 6/6, this is the pinnacle of wig craftsmanship. Every single hair is individually hand-tied onto a sheer lace base that covers the entire cap. The result is an exceptionally lightweight, breathable piece with unmatched freedom of movement — the hair parts naturally in any direction, perfectly mimicking the appearance of hair growing directly from the scalp.
Full lace wigs are virtually undetectable and offer maximum styling versatility. They are particularly well suited for women experiencing total hair loss, as the delicate lace base is extremely gentle on sensitive scalps.
Lace Front + Mono-Filament + Weft
Rated 5/6, this construction combines three techniques for an exceptional result. A sheer lace panel runs along the entire front hairline, allowing hair to be styled away from the face with a completely natural-looking edge. The top of the cap features a mono-filament section where each hair is hand-tied onto a micro-skin base, creating the illusion of a real scalp and a defined parting.
The back of the cap is constructed with wefts — rows of hair sewn onto elastic bands — providing a secure, comfortable fit. This combination delivers a highly realistic appearance with excellent breathability and all-day hold.
Mono-Filament + Weft
Rated 4/6, this construction covers the entire top section and front border with individually hand-tied hairs, implanted between 1 and 4 strands per knot onto a micro-skin base — also known as mono-filament. This method creates an extremely natural effect, giving the impression that the hair grows directly from the scalp and making the wig virtually undetectable.
The back of the cap uses a weft construction, where hair is mechanically implanted onto elastic bands and then hand-assembled to give the wig its shape. This structure provides excellent hold and promotes airflow for all-day wearing comfort.
Partial Mono-Filament Parting + Weft
Rated 3/6, this level is classified as a weft construction with a mono-filament section at the parting. Hair is mechanically implanted onto elastic bands, which are then hand-assembled to shape the wig. A micro-skin section — the mono-filament — is integrated at the parting or along the front border.
This mono-filament insert simulates the appearance of the scalp for a very natural result. It also makes it easier to create a well-defined parting and allows the hair at the back to be styled invisibly, so you can wear this wig with complete discretion and confidence throughout the day.
Partial Mono-Filament Crown + Weft
Rated 2/6, this construction combines a weft base with a small mono-filament section at the crown. The majority of the cap is made up of wefts — rows of hair mechanically implanted onto elastic bands — while a patch of micro-skin at the top of the head allows individual hair implantation for a more natural-looking crown area.
This technique offers a good balance between accessibility and natural appearance. The mono-filament crown section reduces visible density and adds subtle realism, making it an excellent entry point into higher-comfort wig construction.
Full Weft Construction
Rated 1/6, this is the most classic and accessible wig construction. The entire cap is built from wefts — rows of hair mechanically implanted onto elastic bands, which are then hand-assembled to form the shape of the wig. There is no mono-filament or lace section.
While this construction is less refined than higher-rated options, it remains a practical and comfortable everyday choice. The weft base provides good structure and durability, and is a great starting point for first-time wig wearers — offering a reliable fit at a more accessible price point.
