June 28, 2022 Human Hair Wigs 101 Views: 15171

If you are a beginner to lace front wigs, it may be a tricky decision to choose a wig with bleached knots or unbleached knots.

Bleached knots or unbleached knots will affect how natural lace wigs look. It can also determine the lifespan of your lace wig.

Now, you may be wondering, What should I choose?

I will answer this question in a few seconds. But first, let's better understand bleached and unbleached knots.

Hand-tied lace front wigs are made by tying single hairs onto a lace base. This creates small knots. Darker hair makes these knots look like tiny dots on the lace, which can be noticeable. Light-colored or blonde wigs don’t need bleaching because their knots are already light.

Now, let's compare the pros and cons of bleached and unbleached knots so that you can better understand their advantages and disadvantages respectively.

Bleaching is achieved by using a chemical process, which uses an irreversible chemical reaction to remove color. Through this reaction, the knot color will be lighter than the original, resulting in the illusion that hair grows out of the scalp.

I don’t know how to bleach, what should I do?

Only virgin human hair or Remy human hair can be bleached, and non-Remy human hair has its natural color. Most low-quality lace front wigs are not recommended to be bleached, and the knots on synthetic blended lace wigs will not change color with bleaching. This is the interesting part. If you don't want to affect the lifespan of the wig, you can fake the bleached knot.

If you want to try a wig with bleaching knots, and you are worried about the service life of it, then I recommend a human hair wig with slight bleaching from UniWigs.

If you don't want to try the method of chemically bleaching knots, why not try its alternative method? Apply some cosmetics, such as foundation or powder, on it to create the illusion of bleaching the knot, but it will not destroy the integrity of the knot.

UniWigs knots eraser tapes are also ideal for concealing dark knots on the lace wigs.
