Bone Straight Wig vs Straight Wig: What Is the Difference?

Bone straight and straight wigs look alike in a photo. On the head they behave differently. This guide explains the difference, who each one suits and how to keep a bone straight wig flat.

What is a bone straight wig?

A bone straight wig is human hair that lies completely flat, with no wave or bend from root to tip. People call it glass hair. It gives the sleek finish of a fresh silk press, without heat on your own hair.

What is a straight wig?

A straight wig has straight hair with a little natural movement. It bends slightly at the ends or holds some body. It looks softer and less polished than bone straight.

Density, lace and length

Density is how full the hair is. 150% to 180% looks closest to natural hair. 200% to 250% gives more fullness on longer lengths. 300% double drawn hair keeps the same thickness to the ends. A 13x4 or 13x6 frontal covers the whole hairline. A 5x5 closure covers the parting only and is easier for beginners. A 360 or full lace cap lets you part anywhere.

How to keep it bone straight

  • Wash with a sulfate-free shampoo and condition from mid lengths to ends.
  • Air dry on a stand. Smooth with a flat iron on a low to medium setting if needed.
  • Use a heat protectant before any heat styling.
  • Wrap the hair at night or store it on a stand to stop bends forming.
