What is knotting in relation to hair replacements?

• A. A knot in the scalp
• B. Tying a ponytail
• C. Attaching strands of hair to a unit for a hair replacement piece
• D. Knots in wigs damaging hair

Answer: (C)

Knotting in hair replacements refers to the technique of attaching individual strands of hair to the base of a hair replacement unit, such as a wig or toppers. Each hair is tied with a knot at the base so it is securely held in place, creating a natural-looking density and the appearance that the hair is growing from the scalp. This method can use single or double knots to balance security with a realistic look, and it’s commonly used on lace or mesh foundations. It’s a concept focused on how the replacement unit holds the hair, not a knot in the scalp, nor simply tying a ponytail, and while improper knotting can lead to shedding or tension, the term itself specifically describes attaching strands to the unit.
