Wig Cap Constructions

To help, we have put together a selection of some of the most popular types of wig caps, ensuring that you have plenty of choice to make the perfect purchase, and invest in a wig that is the perfect fit for your needs.

Wefted Wig Caps

Wefted wigs, also known as capless or open cap wigs, are known for their breathability and lightweight design, which keeps the head cool by allowing for extra air circulation. These designs are made using wefts of either synthetic or human hair and are amongst the most popular options for wig caps. As an added bonus, wefted wig caps tend to come in at a more affordable price, making them ideal for occasional wig wearers who are looking for quality and comfort on a budget.

Lace Front Cap Construction

Lace front wigs are another popular pick, and help create the appearance of a realistic, natural hairline thanks to an innovative hand-constructed design - this makes it easier to style the wig away from your face without having to worry about the wig edge being visible. Wigs in this collection also come with velvet ear tabs which allow for customisation, as well as adjustable tabs to adjust the wig to your head circumference (find out how to measure your head for a wig) - perfect if you need to adjust your cap size. If you are looking for an option that offers styling versatility, size adjustability and extreme comfort in a single product, a lace front wig is best for you.

Monofilament Wigs

Monofilament wigs are the ultimate choice when it comes to flexibility, and there are 4 different types, determined by the area of the head in which the sheer mesh section sits. The four options are monofilament crown, which sees the mesh placed on the crown, monofilament parting, monofilament top, and double monofilament top.

The main advantage of this wig type is the versatility; you have all the styling flexibility of a natural head of hair. The design includes a lightweight soft nylon mesh, or a sheer polyester at the crown of the head, allowing your natural scalp to show through, and helping the hair strands take on a more natural appearance.

In addition, the hair is individually hand-tied to the material - a technique that creates more of a multi-directional, natural hair movement and flow. Monofilament wigs are also totally breathable, perfect for those with sensitive scalps. Double monofilament wigs offer even more protection, thanks to an added layer of material. Our most popular double monofilament top wigs are from the Amore range.

Hand-tied Cap Construction

As the name suggests, hand-tied wigs work by hand-typing the wigs around the head; this can be the crown and parting area (regular hand-tied wigs), or across the whole head (100% hand-tied wigs). Hand-tied wigs move just like regular hair showcasing natural movement and an extremely convincing hairline.

This wig cap option is known to be one of the most secure of all options, as each strand of hair is hand-knotted and locked into the material. Hand-tied caps also offer the most styling versatility; whether you prefer up-dos, side partings, formal looks, or tying your hair up, a hand tied wig offers that flexibility that other wig caps don’t. They are also by far the most comfortable wig cap available, perfect for those with sensitive scalps, or individuals suffering from alopecia or undergoing cancer treatment.
