A wig unit is not just hair attached to a cap. It is a system that affects how the hair fits, moves, and holds up over time. Understanding what goes into the unit makes it easier to choose the right style and maintain it properly.

Lace Placement

Every Chroma wig uses HD lace, either as a closure or a frontal. The lace section determines how much styling freedom you have and how the hairline appears once installed.

Closures measure 5 by 5 and allow for clean middle or side parts with minimal upkeep. Frontals measure 13 by 4 or 13 by 6 and extend ear to ear, which allows for deeper parts, pulled back styles, and more flexibility at the hairline.

Both options are ventilated with balanced density so the lace looks natural without requiring heavy modification.

Cap Construction

Under the lace is the cap, which supports the entire unit. The cap affects comfort, breathability, and fit.

Chroma wigs are constructed with a breathable mesh base, reinforced tracks, adjustable straps at the nape, and optional combs for added security. This structure keeps the unit stable while remaining light enough for extended wear.

A well built cap allows the hair to move naturally without shifting or creating pressure points on the scalp.

Density and Volume Distribution

All Chroma wigs are constructed at 200 percent density. This equals roughly three full bundles plus a closure or frontal.

The hair is distributed evenly across the unit so volume remains consistent from the roots to the ends. Density is not concentrated at the back or lost at the tips, which helps the hair maintain shape and movement over time.

Styling Compatibility

Chroma wigs are designed to handle heat styling, light customization, and color on raw units. Frontal units allow for updos and part changes, while closure units offer a more set look with lower maintenance.

Whether worn as received or customized by a stylist, the internal construction supports flexibility without sacrificing wearability.

Single Donor Hair: What the Term Actually Means

Single donor hair is often presented as a premium feature, but the term is widely misunderstood and inconsistently used.

What Single Donor Refers To

Single donor hair is cut from one individual in one session, with all strands aligned in the natural growth direction. This method preserves texture consistency and cuticle alignment.

True single donor hair often shows slight variation in wave or color within a bundle and tends to have strong longevity with minimal tangling. Because it is difficult to source consistently, it is rare at scale.

Many products labeled single donor are actually collected from multiple donors with similar textures and processed together carefully. This can still produce high quality hair when handled properly.

When It Matters

Single donor hair can be beneficial for color work, especially when lifting raw hair evenly, or when blending multiple bundles into one seamless install. It can also extend the usable lifespan of the hair when reused across multiple installs.

That said, not all high performing hair is single donor. What matters more is whether the hair is untreated, cuticle aligned, and handled correctly throughout processing.
