When it comes to choosing the perfect wig for you, considering the structure of the hat is essential. There are many options in the world of wigs. After you've considered artificial wigs and synthetic wigs, you need to determine which type of wig cap is right for you. Each wig cap structure type has its own unique set of features that will give you a completely different look and feel.

Four main types of wig caps are described below:

Lace Front

The lace front is one of the most natural-looking wig cap structures. An unobtruded transparent lace front to your wig will create a natural-looking and an imperceptible hairline. With the lace front, you can style your wig away from your face without having to worry that the wig edge is visible.Did you know that Beyoncé has been wearing lace front wigs for years? Me neither, until her hairstylist revealed this little secret. Lace front wigs were originally developed for theater and films. And particularly valuable with close-ups. A finely made lace front wig generally has a hand-knotted hairline and looks like the hair is growing right out of your scalp.The invisible lace gives you the confidence to style your wig exactly how you want to.

 

Basic Wig Caps

A commo wig cap (also called capless, wefted, or open-cap) is a machine-made wig cap made by sewing “wefts,” or curtains of hair, onto a strip of thin, elastic material. The wefts are disguised with a technique called “permatease” to hide them from view at the part area. Modern technology has introduced “thin wefts” which has the characteristics of standard wefts, but is only half as wide and thick, making the hair lighter and feel more comfortable without reducing the amount of hair in the wig.

Finer basic wig caps are aerated and comfortable because the spaces between the wefts allow air to flow directly to your scalp. Are you worried about overheating? Then this is the cap for you. Some basic big caps are “thin wefted” and made with a fine stretchable material that can actually mold itself to the contours of your head, and memorize those contours for a customized fit.  

 

Monofilament Wigs

Monofilament wigs are popular because of their design feature that makes it appear like hair is directly growing from the scalp. This wig type uses a single, hand-knotted hair to form a soft monofilament net at the top and top to create a natural scalp look.. Finely made monofilament wigs can be one of the most comfortable wigs you’ve ever worn.

Some stylists would argue that a monofilament wig may have the best type of construction because its design and materials allow for a realistic scalp and hair movement. So you are free to part or style your monofilament wig in almost any way!

 

100% Hand-Tied

100% hand-tied caps are the creme de la creme of wig cap models. Why? Because each strand of hair or synthetic fiber is sewn individually to the mesh cap using a hand-knotted method.This technique relies on manual processes rather than machines and mechanical stitching. A hand-tied wig can take up to three days and is made by skilled craftsmen, an intensive process of high-quality design. It also lets the hair move freely for realistic movement and versatile styling.100% hand-tied caps look and move like natural hair. It’s the most comfortable wig cap construction option because the wig cap material is soft and flexible. Just don't fall for buying a hat labeled "hand-tied" and thinking that means it's 100% handmade.A regular hand-tied wig is a combination of hand-tied and machine-attached hair. Some regions (generally the part or crown) are hand-tied, but the rest is machine-attached. If you want your entire cap to be hand-tied, make sure to look for 100% hand-tied!

 

When choosing wig, what aspects to consider?

Material:

Look for wig caps made of lightweight, breathable materials such as nylon or mesh. These materials allow for air circulation, reducing heat and discomfort.

 

Size:

Measure your head to determine the correct wig cap size. Most wig caps come in small, medium, and large sizes. A properly fitted cap will prevent headaches and discomfort.

 

Stretch:

Opt for a wig cap with some stretch, as it can accommodate different head shapes and sizes. A stretchy cap will also provide a snug fit without being too tight.

 

Construction:

Consider the construction of the wig cap. Double-lined caps or caps with adjustable straps can offer a more secure and comfortable fit.

 

Seamlessness:

Look for wig caps with minimal seams to reduce irritation and pressure points on the scalp.

 

Hair type:

Consider your natural hair type when choosing a wig cap. For example, if you have long or thick hair, you may prefer a wig cap with extra room or the ability to secure your hair underneath.
