Problems solved by technology

This weaving process takes a considerable amount of time, and is not something that can be premanufactured.
Also, the resultant weave does not allow the scalp to breathe.
However, wigs are not adjustable, and are generally extremely hot to wear, because the common wig does not allow the scalp to breathe.
