Sweet Talk Luxury is the middle ground between the fully hand-tied styles and the budget caps. Gabor hand-ties the top, where thinning usually shows, and places it over a monofilament base so the part looks like scalp even when the curls are moved around. The sides and back are wefted, which the listing says reduces bulk and lets air circulate, and a temple-to-temple lace front allows the curls to be swept off the forehead. Velvet-lined ear tabs and an extended nape soften the points where a cap rubs, and adjustable straps set the fit. The cut is a chin-length bob of loose barrel curls in Kanekalon Flexlite fiber, which keeps the curl pattern without daily heat styling. At $326.99 it was the cheapest style we found with both a hand-tied top and a lace front, though the sides are not hand-tied and Gabor does not list a weight.
