Cap Styles

Wigs are available with several different types of caps. The hair of the wig can be attached to the cap using several different techniques. Each cap type has its own advantages. See the descriptions below for explanations of the different types of wig caps.

Monofilament / MonoTop
A monofilament cap is designed to make the wig look as if it is growing from your own head. It features a fine mesh material at the crown where individual grafts of hair are tied by hand. This design is especially good for individuals with hair loss at the crown of their head. It offers the most styling versatility because it can be parted & brushed in any direction.

Hand Tied
Hand Tied caps are made by carefully stitching each hair strand to the cap by hand. This meticulous design produces a lighter wig with better ventilation than a standard weft. Wigs with this type of cap can be parted and combed more naturally than with most other cap types. Some, but not all, Hand Tied wigs also feature a Monofilament/MonoTop for the finest appearance possible.

Standard Cap
A Standard Cap is the basic cap style for wigs. It involves hair stitched into a string mesh, with a lace layer at the crown. A Standard Cap is generally the simplest cap type and therefore the least expensive.

 


Capless
Capless wigs are similar to Standard Cap style, but removes the lace layer at the crown. This benefits of this design include better ventilation, and the ability to integrate your own hair by pulling your hair through the holes to mix your own natural hair with the wig.

Skin Top
A Skin Top cap is designed with a colored silicone or polyurethane base to give the illusion of your own scalp directly under the wig.
