|---|---|---|
| Knots | Hidden | Slightly visible |
| Parting | Most natural | Natural |

Silk Top Hair System FAQ
Does the silk layer make the system feel warm?
It is a little warmer and heavier than lace or mono. Clients in hot climates often do better on a French lace base.
Why is the silk top MOQ 3 pieces?
Silk tops take longer to make, so studios usually order a few at a time. The MOQ is 3 pieces per style, and colors and lengths can be mixed within it.
