If you’ve ever worn a wig and have long hair (or even anything longer than a buzz cut) you know that attempting to secure it in place by itself is a virtually impossible task. Skipping a wig cap not only makes your wig to slide out of place all day long, but it can also result in accelerated hair damage due to the increased tension on your natural hair underneath. In short, if you’re going to wear a wig—whether just for the night as a part of a costume or on the daily for commit-free hair versatility—if you’re going to rock the faux-hair, investing in a solid wig cap really is crucial for the look and your comfort.
While it may seem like one size fits all for wig caps, it turns out that that’s definitely not the case. While you may assume that it’s best to opt for a style that resembles your current hair color for natural-looking results, it’s actually best to find one that’s as close as possible to your skin tone—especially if you’re wearing a lace or frontal wig. If you’re still not quite sure what to look for, have no fear because we’ve rounded up some of our favorite wig caps to try for yourself below.
