Hand tied wigs are also known as _______________.

machine-made wigs
hand-knotted wigs
synthetic wigs
molded wigs

The correct answer is: hand-knotted wigs

Hand tied wigs are made by tying individual strands of hair onto a sheer lace material by hand, creating a realistic and natural appearance. This method is time-consuming and requires a high level of skill, which is reflected in the higher price point of these wigs. Machine-made wigs, on the other hand, are manufactured using a machine and therefore lack the natural look and feel of hand tied wigs. Synthetic wigs are made from synthetic (man-made) fibers and are not as durable or versatile as hand tied wigs. Molded wigs are created using a mold and typically have a stiff and unnatural appearance. Therefore, the best term to describe hand tied wigs is hand-knotted, as this accurately reflects the process and distinguishes them from other types of wigs.
