Not all wig foundations are created for scalp health


In this short lesson excerpt, we explain why the base of a wig or cranial prosthesis matters just as much as the hair. Lace, silicone, polyurethane, monofilament, and hybrid foundations each interact with the scalp differently—especially for clients with sensitive, healing, or medically complex skin.


The Science of Wig Foundations: A Clinical Guide to Scalp Health was created to help professionals understand the critical connection between clinical dermatology and wig foundation technology.


This book transforms complex medical science into practical application, helping hair replacement specialists, wig makers, cranial prosthetic providers, and medical professionals better understand:

  • How foundation materials interact with the scalp

  • Why breathability, pressure, friction, and attachment methods matter

  • The difference between industrial non-medical hair systems and clinically informed cranial prosthetics

  • How to support clients with fragile, inflamed, healing, or medically complex scalps


BONUS: When your book arrives, you'll receive 7 days of complimentary access to our Lessons Learned Portal, where the chapters come to life through video lessons and clinical demonstrations.


Ready to go deeper? CPIS-307: Clinical Wig Foundation Certification pairs directly with this material. This virtual, self-paced certification course extends your Lessons Learned Portal experience—purchase the book, complete the reading, and finish coursework online at your own pace.
