What Is Wig Density?
What does wig density mean? Wig Density is defined as how thick or thin the hair on your lace wig will be. It is expressed as a percentage that tells you how much hair is actually on your wig but does not refer to the texture. The higher the density percentage, the fuller it will look; the lower the density percentage, the thinner it will look.
Generally speaking, the density is from 130% to 180% in the market.  The standard and most popular choice is 150%  Natural/Medium Density, and more closely mimics the density of the average human head.  Of course, you can also find there is 200%(extra-heavy). But it is not commonly used. Many units come pre-plucked, meaning they are less dense around the hairline and gradually get denser, giving the units a more natural appearance.

FAQs:
Is there a set structure of the length vs density?
While you can wear any density, you like with whichever length you like, it’s advisable to use the higher density when you have long hair and vice versa. This makes it look more natural. Never wear an 8inch weave with say 200% density. You will look unreal.
Does the density affect the base cap?
Yes, it does. You don’t need a heavy cap when say you have low-density hair. It will be too much for the hair. So, when you have a heavy density, that’s alright because it will support the heavy cap too.
Why is it that some wigs have the same density but they differ in fullness?
Of course, most people ask this question and it’s all because of the difference in textures. You don’t expect the hair to have the same fullness when it’s wavy or curly as when it’s straight.
Do we have the maximum density I can buy?
Regardless of the hair, you are looking to buy, you can order any density and it will be customized for you if they have to. Although it’s often important to order the wig densities based on the chart you are given.
However, when you aren’t sure of the densities, it’s better that you choose the higher densities. This is because then you can thin it out if you feel like it’s too much.
