Review (5/5): Best Wig Making Caps
These are my go-to caps for making wigs. I use them for U-part, lace closure and Lace front wigs. I like to use 4-5 bundles per install and need a sturdy wig cap for it that's still flexible and breathable. I don't recommend this cap for those new to doing sew-in or handmade wigs as the mesh material isn't the easiest to sew through if you don't know have the basics down for sewing techniques for weaves. The cap does lose elasticity over time I would say I usually get 2 months wear before I need to take it in a bit. If I've sewn the unit down I usually don't feel slack until it's time to reinstall and I've washed and colored the hair.
I was buying these at my local BSS for $4 a pop but buying the 6-pack is such a bargain. I have a big head with thick hair but my hair is shoulder length. These fit snug on me but considering I usually do a lace frontal or lace closure once I cut the excess cap once done, it fits perfect and has the right amount of tension so I don't need combs or elastic bands to hold my unit in place. If you're going to keep the cap whole and have a larger head, go up in size. I wouldn't recommend these under a unit (like a regular stocking cap) you'd be better off with a regular net cap (open top). These are best for constructing units.
