You can follow the following 5 steps to choose a hair system that suits you.

1. Base Type

The base material and type determine its service life, comfort, and wearing method. There are 3 popular bases for most hair systems:

Lace base:  The lace base hair systems are the most popular system because its breathability and comfort. Lace bases often come with bleached knots in front, which ensure the system appears very natural and unnoticeable when properly attached. It is always recommended to use tape to attach your lace base, as glue might soak into the base, making it harder to clean.

Skin Base: The thin skin bases, also known as PU base, are very popular since it's ease to wear and natural appearance. This base comes in a variety of thickness from 0.02mm to 0.12mm. Thin skin hair systems are easier to attach and either tape or glue can be used with this base. Thin skin toupee is more affordable than lace base, but it's unbreathable so it's recommended for people live in places not so hot.

Mono base: Mono means monofilament. This base is made from monofilament which looks very much like lace but is sturdier, meaning they are very breathable and last longer. Same as lace, it is recommended to use tape with this system, and it’s also suitable for those with an active lifestyle or those living in very humid climatic conditions.

2.Base Size

Once you have decided which base type you need, the next step would be the base size.
