To Wear or Not to Wear a Wig Cap
At least once or twice a week, we are asked, “Should I wear a wig cap under my wig?”
What is a wig cap? A wig cap acts as a protective barrier between your scalp, hair and the wig.?

A wig cap can is similar to face foundation, but for the head since it covers the scalp and hair giving it a smoother look and feel. Even though the wig cap is breathable, some women say the wig cap can make it a bit warmer, especially when a private summer crosses your path.
Wig caps are available in skin tones to resemble the color of the scalp. Some scalp colors may not be available at most stores and it comes in a one size fits all. The wig cap is closed at the tip and has a wide elastic band around the perimeter that helps to hold the cap snugly on your head in an effort to keep it from slipping off. Some women use Got2b Glued Styling Hair Gel to attached the wig cap, then to the head, then trim off the band. Most women find, it’s easy to wear and fits comfortably.
