What's the difference? 

Cap construction is a crucial aspect of wig selection, impacting comfort, security, and natural looks. Let's dive into the most common types and their benefits:

1. Lace Front Wig: Transform your look with the confidence of a natural hairline. Our Lace Front Wigs, meticulously crafted with delicate lace, melt into your skin like magic.

    • Construction: A thin lace panel at the hairline where hairs are individually hand-tied, mimicking natural hair growth.
    • Benefits: Ultra-realistic hairline, seamless front with the ability to style hair off the face, and secure fit.
    • Drawbacks: Most expensive option, requires careful application and maintenance of the lace.
    • Ideal for: Achieving the most natural look, those with visible hairlines, and individuals seeking maximum confidence in hairline appearance.

2. Monofilament Cap: Strands are individually hand tied to a breathable French lace base called monofilament. This construction technique simulates natural hair growth while allowing for free movement and parting flexibility on most styles.

    • Construction: A thin, translucent fabric with individually hand-tied hairs at the crown or parting area.
    • Benefits: Creates a realistic scalp illusion, allows for versatile parting styles, and provides a comfortable, lightweight feel.
    • Drawbacks: More expensive than wefted caps, requires extra care due to delicate hand-tied knots.
    • Ideal for: Achieving a natural look, those who desire versatile styling options, and individuals with hair loss seeking scalp coverage.

3. Weft Cap: Hair wefts area collection of fibers or strands sewn together at their tips, creating a linear gathering of fibers. They are then posted to the laces of the cap to create the base construction.

    • Ideal for: Beginners, budget-conscious buyers, and those with short hair who prioritize airflow.

Remember: The best cap construction depends on your individual needs, budget, and desired level of comfort. Consider consulting a wig expert or trying on different caps to find the perfect fit for you.
