Choosing wig caps
Wig caps are thin, stretchy liners worn under a wig to hold hair flat and create a smooth base. Start with the material. Nylon and spandex blends are common and stretch easily, while mesh caps are lighter and let more air through. Choose a cap that fits snugly without pinching, and check the size chart against your head measurements.
Think about how much hair you need to cover. A closed cap suits short or fine hair, while a cap with a wide, breathable panel can suit thicker hair. If you plan to wear a wig for long periods, look for a soft, lightweight cap that feels comfortable against your skin. Read the material notes carefully if you have sensitive skin.
Using wig caps
Start with clean, dry hair. Gather your hair and flatten it close to the scalp, then pin down any loose ends. Pull the cap on from front to back, smoothing out wrinkles as you go, and adjust the edges so the cap sits evenly across your forehead and the back of your neck.
Once the cap is in place, put your wig on top and secure it with the wig's own clips or an adhesive made for wigs, following the product instructions. Wash caps gently by hand and let them air dry flat so they keep their shape.
Questions about wig caps
Can I wear a wig cap on its own?
Yes. Some people wear a cap alone to keep hair neat under a hat or scarf, although it is designed mainly as a base for a wig.
How do I know which size to buy?
Measure around your head just above the ears and across the forehead, then compare with the size chart on the product page. A snug fit that stays in place is usually the right choice.
