What is a capless wig
Capless wig, also known as open cap wig or wefted. A capless wig is made from human hair and constructed with an elastic caplike net and open wefting. The hair of a capless wig has a lower weft density and is sewn in with vertical lace strips, so there is a lot of space. This special design makes capless wigs lighter than others and also allows for good air circulation to your natural hair and scalp. There are long and short capless wigs in different haircuts.
The advantages of a capless wig

The downsides of a capless wig
- A capless wig is less likely to create the illusion of natural hair growth from the scalp like a monofilament wig cap would.
