Wigs - Construction types of wig cap

 

1. Hand tied wigs cap:

 

Hand tied wigs are the most ideal wig cap construction type, as it allows each hair to move freely. This gives you a most natural look. However, be cautious when buying a hand tied wig cap.

When buying a wig with this type of cap construction, always look for a 100% hand tied wig cap. If it is not mentioned somewhere, be sure to ask your salesperson about this feature.
