Wig cap

A wig cap is a thin liner worn over your real hair before putting on a wig, keeping everything flat, secure, and comfortable.

A wig cap is a close-fitting layer you wear on your head, between your natural hair and the wig. Its main job is to hold your hair flat so the wig sits smoothly without lumps showing through. Common types are the smooth nylon stocking cap and the more open fishnet cap, which is cooler to wear. Choosing a cap close to your skin tone or the wig's colour helps it disappear if it peeks out at the hairline. Put the cap on before any wig clips or pins, so you have a stable base and your own hair is spared repeated tugging. If your hair is long, flatten it into pin curls or braids first; the whole setup will be much tidier.
