Density refers to how much hair is used on your cap to create fullness. It is important to note that the perception of density is affected by the type of hair used and how it is styled (i.e., rollers, hair spray, and mousse create the illusion of fullness). Curly, wavy, and kinky textured hair expands when combed out. When the hair is separated and combed, it looks fuller. Therefore, two wigs with the same exact hair density can look different based on the type of hair used and how it is styled.
For the most natural look, pick a density that is close to your own. Medium density is the average choice (100%-120%). It is generally better to have more hair than less because you can always thin it out. You will also have more hair to accommodate for normal shedding from daily grooming. Lighter density units need repairs more quickly for this reason- this is why we do not recommend densities less than 80%.
