How to choose a suitable wig among different types for a beginner is a tangled problem. I would recommend a capless wig as a preferred choice for wig novices.
Capless wig plays an important role for people who want to change their appearance quickly by wearing wigs, especially African American women, because the volume of the crown is large and works well for people who have thick hair.
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
- A capless wig is usually machine-made. That means they not only give you a chic style, but also have a much more affordable price than other wigs. You can even get more than one capless wig for a variety of hairstyles for the same price. This way, you can switch between different styles that suit your outfit and occasion.
- One of the benefits is that you won’t feel more hot and stuffy than with a traditional cap wig because your hair and scalp have enough space to breathe. Due to the open space between wefts, capless wigs provide great ventilation.
- The steps for maintenance are very simple. You just need to use a wide-tooth comb to brush the wig neatly before and after every use. Similarly, the washing steps are not complicated. Each time you wash, use a mild shampoo and rinse it well until the water turns clear.
- They are lighter and more comfortable than other types for the wearer. You won't feel very heavy even if you wear it all day. Capless wigs are typically fitted with elastic adjustment straps that go behind your ears so that the wig will comfortably fit onto your head all day long until you’re ready to take it off.
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.
- It is a lack of styling versatility. For this consideration, capless wigs tend to be teased around the crown to conceal the wig cap. Because the wig is usually pre-styled, you won’t have the flexibility to change the parting area.
