Wig Caps

Why wear a cap under your wig?

Wearing a wig cap helps hold your wig in place without slipping, thanks to the non-slip silicone often found around the edge of the cap. A microfibre cap or a cotton one protects your scalp from rubbing, especially if you wear a wig regularly or for long periods. The stretchy skull cap fits your head perfectly, which ensures optimal comfort throughout the day.

We choose caps with flat seams or no seams to reduce pressure points, especially when you keep your wig on for a long time. Some mesh caps let the skin breathe to avoid sweating, which is perfect if you wear a wig during sports activities or in summer. When you are looking for a good fit, an adjustable elastic lets you adjust the size of the cap to the shape of your head.

The under-cap creates a clean, soft base that protects your natural hair or sensitive scalp. It also makes it easier to fix the lace front if you wear one, for an impeccable hold and a natural look. In short, the cap under a wig is an essential accessory to protect, stabilise and make wearing your wig more pleasant day after day.

How do you choose the right wig cap for your hair type?

If you have thick hair, prefer a wig cap that slides well under the wig and avoids bumps. For fine or thin hair, a very fine hairnet protects without adding volume. Caps with a reinforced crown are handy if your hair tends to curl or tangle, as they hold the whole head of hair in place.

A hair under-cap in a soft fabric limits rubbing and is particularly gentle on delicate hair. For even better comfort, check whether the cap has an adjustable elastic that fits your head size and hair volume perfectly. Choosing a model with flat seams or seamless construction avoids the cap squeezing or pressing on sensitive areas.

Finally, depending on how often you wear your wig, a more breathable cap is recommended to limit sweating, especially if you move around a lot. We advise you to try different materials and shapes to find the wig cap that suits your hair type, for a hold that is both secure and comfortable every day.

What does a wig cap do for your natural hair?

A wig cap forms a direct layer between the wig and your natural hair, which reduces direct rubbing. Our caps often have a smooth elastane surface to limit friction, which stops hair getting caught or going static. Materials such as microfibre or elastane also hold less heat, which keeps you feeling cool, even if you wear the wig for a long time.

If you keep your hair braided or flat, the shape of the cap holds it in place and stops it tangling or moving about under the wig. Every wig cap separates the roots and the hair fibre from the fixing products and solvents sometimes used on wigs. Models with adjustable size fit on without pulling on the hair, which avoids tension.

Many customers also note that the under-cap helps them keep the scalp feeling clean for longer, as it absorbs sweat and limits the dust that passes through the wig. If you wear a wig for intensive use, the cover offered by an under-cap helps keep your lengths looking good during sporting activities or repeated wear. The models offered on our site are designed to go with all hair types, with a real everyday benefit.

We advise you to complete your hair routine with suitable wig accessories and to consider using a wig stand to look after your equipment and keep your wigs in good condition.
