What are Capless Human Hair Wigs?


Human hair wigs are very popular and come in a variety of styles, textures and colors. They come in various types, which are determined by the way the wigs are put on.

Human Hair Wigs: Cap Construction

Human hair wigs come in four varieties depending on the way they are worn. There are Cap, Standard Cap, Capless and Monofilament Cap wigs. Amongst these, Cap and Standard Cap are the most common types used by individuals. They are easily available and also cheap. They are put on like a cap, as is understandable by their names, and can be taken off as desired. Monofilament caps are expensive as they can give the illusion of skin at those points where the hair parts.

Capless human hair wigs are quite the same as standard cap wigs in their design. However, they have lace strips placed vertically with open spaces in between them, while standard caps have a solid layer of lace on the crown of the wig. Firstly, fringes of human hair are weaved together to attain the shape of a cap which gives the wig its shape since it does not have any solid cap as its under layer. Some wigs can have thin fringes of human hair weave, which may make the wearer’s real hair visible underneath.

Capless human hair wigs are not as cheap as cap and standard cap human hair wigs but they are more wearable than others are. Since they are made by weaving hair fringes that have open spaces between them, especially in the back, crown and sides, they provide more ventilation than that offered by the other types. They also do not have any real cap underneath the hair fringes, which makes them lighter than the cap and standard cap varieties. These two varieties can make the wearer feel hot and claustrophobic in some cases.

Custom Made Wig Caps

Generally custom-made wigs are the exact size of the wearer’s head because he/she is first measured. However they also come with adjustable straps or Velcro. Capless wigs also come with these attachments to make sure that the wearer gets a snug fit. Capless human hair wigs are available in all sizes, textures and colors like that of the other wigs of the same make. They are made from hairs of Indian, Indonesian, Chinese and European origin. Both Remy hair, which is hair harvested from its root to the tip and Virgin hair i.e. less processed hair are used to make these types of wigs

Capless human hair wigs can be used for everyday use and can also be treated like normal hair. They can be brushed and styled using styling tools like rollers, irons, etc. Capless human hair wigs can also be colored but it is very important to keep the wig clean. An unclean wig may lead to serious scalp infections and lead to more hair loss. The wig should ideally be washed after wearing it for 7-8 times. Special  shampoo can be used to wash your human hair products. Using conditioner made specifically for human hair wigs helps retain its shine. After that, hair sprays made especially for wigs can be sprayed. It is better not to use a normal hair spray as it might make the hair of the wig heavy and limp. Care products that are not designed for alternative hair products will damage the fibers and in turn, you will not be able to wear them as long.
