The Number Ones: Envy’s Best-Loved Styles, Reimagined in Luxury
Launching May 18
The wait is over. The Envy Number Ones Collection returns—reimagined, refined, and elevated for today’s wig wearer. Featuring five of our most-loved, best-selling styles—Tiffany, Belinda, Maya, Charlotte, and Brianna—now 100% hand-tied. This highly anticipated launch introduces a completely new cap design, featuring the Atelier Swiss Cap, that transforms how these favorites look, feel, and perform.
Meet the Next Generation: The Atelier Swiss Cap
At the heart of this launch is our new Atelier Swiss cap design, thoughtfully engineered to deliver the perfect balance of realism, comfort, and security.
What makes it different?
- Natural Graduating Density A soft, light density at the front creates a delicate, realistic hairline, gradually transitioning into a light-medium density through the crown and back for balanced, effortless fullness.
- Ultra-Natural Movement and Feel Each strand moves freely, mimicking natural hair for a seamless, believable finish with maximum comfort.
The Atelier Swiss Cap Features
Every detail of the Atelier Swiss cap has been carefully considered to enhance your daily wear experience:
1. Ear-to-Ear Swiss Lace Front
A seamless, ultra-soft lace front that blends effortlessly into the skin for a flawless, natural hairline.
2. Double Layer Swiss Lace Top
A refined alternative to traditional monofilament, this construction offers:
- A softer, more natural look
- Multi-directional parting
- Added durability to protect delicate knots
3. Clear Polyurethane Transition
Ensures a smooth, invisible blend between materials while reinforcing structure.
4. Hand-Tied Soft Mesh
Each strand is individually hand-tied into a soft, breathable mesh, allowing for natural movement and lightweight comfort.
5. 2" Stretch Soft Mesh Panel
The integrated stretch panel gently adapts to your head shape, providing flexibility and a contoured fit.
6. Elastic Velcro Tab Adjusters
Designed for easy customization, these allow you to tighten or loosen your wig fit for a secure, tailored feel.
7. Extended Silicone Nape
Adds extra grip at the neckline to help keep your wig comfortably in place all day.
8.Polyurethane Ear Tabs with Bendable Wire
Shape to your unique contours for a personalized fit. The polyurethane finish also creates an ideal surface for adhesive when added security is desired.
Why Lace Choice Matters: Swiss Lace vs. Welded Lace
When it comes to lace front wigs, understanding the difference between materials is key to choosing what works best for your lifestyle, comfort, and desired level of realism. The lace front is what creates your hairline—so it directly impacts how natural your wig looks and feels.
For the Number Ones Collection, we chose Swiss lace intentionally—prioritizing the most undetectable finish, softest feel, and a truly skin-like appearance. This decision reflects our commitment to delivering a luxury experience that looks as natural as it feels.
Here’s how the two compare:
Welded Lace
- Made from ultrasonically fused monofilament threads
- More durable and structured
- Ideal for everyday wear and higher density styles
- Provides a stable, secure feel
- Slight sheen may be visible depending on lighting
Swiss Lace
- Finer, softer, and more lightweight
- Ultra-natural, skin-like appearance
- Breathable and ideal for sensitive scalps
- Offers more stretch for a contoured fit
- Requires gentle handling and care
The Atelier Swiss cap uses premium Swiss lace, delivering an incredibly soft, seamless hairline from temple to temple—perfect for achieving that truly natural, “undetectable” look.
Caring for Your Swiss Lace Front
Swiss lace is beautifully delicate, and proper care ensures it stays that way.
- Handle gently—avoid pulling or tugging
- Ensure proper fit to reduce tension
- Use only soft, safe tools
- Store with lace lying flat
- Trim carefully to maintain a clean edge
With the right care, your wig will maintain its natural beauty and longevity.
Adhesive Application (optional): Step-by-Step
For those who prefer added security, adhesive can be used safely and effectively. We recommend using a Liqui-Tape Adhesive Dabber by Walker Tape for controlled, mess-free application and meant for daily wear.
- Prep the Skin
Cleanse the hairline with alcohol or a gentle cleanser and allow it to fully dry. - Position the Wig
Align using ear tabs and the silicone nape, then gently roll the lace back. - Apply Adhesive
Apply a thin, even layer to the skin (not the lace) using the dabber. - Set & Secure
Wait 5–10 minutes until tacky/clear, then press lace down from the center outward toward the temples. - Removal
Use alcohol on a napkin or Q-tip (avoid cotton balls) to gently release the adhesive before lifting.
How to Trim a Swiss Lace Front
Trimming your Swiss lace front allows you to create a more personalized, natural-looking hairline that complements your unique face shape. It can also help remove any excess lace for a more seamless blend into the skin. Over time, if you notice the lace beginning to roll or lift slightly at the edge, a light trim can refresh the hairline and maintain that clean, undetectable finish.
If you wish to trim your lace, follow these key tips:
- Use sharp shears for precision
- Trim slowly and carefully – you can use a nude or light pencil to mark your line before cutting for better results
- Follow your natural hairline shape
- Leave a slight margin so as not to cut into the hair
- Trim only where needed when needed
For best results, trim on a block head to maintain a clean, even line and avoid snags.
Styling & Maintenance
To keep your style looking its best, follow a gentle care routine using cool running water and alternative hair care products when cleansing to help preserve the integrity of the fibers and lace. Regular maintenance (wash every 8-10 wears) not only keeps your wig looking fresh but also extends its overall lifespan. The Envy 3-in-1 Airstyler is an essential tool for both styling and corrective care—it can smooth and remove frizz, revive and enhance dull waves or curls, and help restore movement and shape between washes. Incorporating proper care and the right tools into your routine will significantly expand the longevity of your wig while maintaining its natural, polished appearance.
Experience the Difference
With the introduction of the Atelier Swiss cap, Envy continues to redefine what luxury alternative hair can be—accessible, wearable, and beautifully natural. The Number Ones Collection brings new life to five iconic favorites: Tiffany Hand Tied, Belinda Hand Tied, Maya Hand Tied, Charlotte Hand Tied, and Brianna Hand Tied.
