Measuring Guide

Cap Construction

Lace Front 

  •  The lace goes from temple-to-temple, or are extended from ear-to-ear and designed to blend in with a variety of skin tones.

  • Each hair is individually tied to the cap, but not to the entire cap. This allows for styling the hair away from the face while maintaining the illusion of a natural front hair line. 

  • Most are ready-to-wear and don’t require tape or adhesive for attachment.

Hand-Tied

  • Comfortable & lightweight ideal for sensitive scalps or hair loss. 

  • Each hair is individually hand-tied to the cap to create the most natural movement.

  • This allows the hairs to move freely, allowing you to comb the hair in any direction. 

Very comfortable & natural feel!

Monofilament

  • A full mono top allows for parting and styling versatility. (1 of 2 options)

  • A double mono top gives an extra layer of soft material for added comfort, perfect for sensitive skin or scalps. 

    (2 of 2 options)

  • Each hair is individually hand-tied to a sheer base (but not the entire cap).

Perfect for parting and styling!

Basic 

  • Include both cap-less and traditional constructions, identified by the open wefting in the cap for better air ventilation.

  • The hair on these caps are pre-teased at the root to mask the cap beneath, which often gives the hair natural volume at the crown.

  • Some of the most durable and affordable wig caps.
