Choosing the Right Cap:
Your Questions Answered
Q: What’s the difference between the Signature Cap and the Essential Cap?
Steph Answers: Both caps are glueless, lightweight, and thoughtfully made — so you can’t go wrong either way. The Signature Cap is 100% hand-tied, giving the most natural movement and realism possible. The Essential Cap has a hand-tied monofilament top (for flexible parting), with closed wefts at the back to make it a more affordable option — without compromising comfort or everyday wearability.
Q: Which cap is best for daily wear?
Steph Answers: Both caps were designed for everyday comfort, but the Signature Cap is the one I personally wear the most. It’s the lightest, softest cap I’ve ever worn — perfect if you're planning to wear your wig all day, every day. If you’re newer to wigs or want a high-quality piece on a more budget-friendly path, the Essential Cap is a beautiful place to start.
Q: What is a monofilament top — and why does it matter?
Steph Answers: A monofilament top means each hair is individually tied by hand into a soft, sheer mesh. It creates the illusion that the hair is growing right out of your scalp and allows you to part the wig any direction. This makes styling way more flexible and gives the wig a realistic look from every angle — even up close.
Q: Are these wigs glueless?
Steph Answers: Yes! Both cap types are 100% glueless — no tape or glue needed to keep them secure. I’ve added subtle silicone grip zones throughout the design so your wig stays comfortably in place all day long. But if you do want to use adhesive for extra security, I’ve added special zones where tape or glue can go — without damaging the lace or hair.
Q: Will either of these caps feel hot or itchy?
Steph Answers: Not at all. I made sure both caps are breathable, soft, and scalp-friendly — even for those with sensitive skin. The Signature Cap in particular is whisper-light and airy, which makes it a dream to wear in warmer weather or for long days.
Q: I have hair underneath — will these caps work for me?
Steph Answers: Absolutely. If you have bio hair underneath, both caps can still work beautifully. The adjustable Velcro straps at the nape help you customize the fit, and the grip zones help anchor the wig to your head securely. If your hair is thicker, I recommend braiding it or using a wig cap to smooth it down — this helps the wig sit flatter and more comfortably against your head for the most natural look.
Q: Should I wear a wig grip underneath my wig?
Steph Answers: You can, but it’s not necessary with my caps. Both the Signature and Essential caps are completely glueless and feature silicone grip zones designed to hug your head securely. Some people still prefer the added security of a wig grip — especially if they don’t have bio hair underneath — but in most cases, my caps are made to stay put on their own.
Q: Will the cap stretch over time?
Steph Answers: It can — especially if it’s stored on something too large, like an oversized canvas block head. I always recommend choosing a mannequin or block head that matches your head size (or is slightly smaller) to help preserve the cap’s shape and prevent it from stretching over time.
Q: Can I use tape or glue with these wigs?
Steph Answers: Yes — both caps are 100% glueless, but I’ve added silicone zones where tape or glue can be applied if you ever want that option. The best part? Those areas are designed to make removal easy and won’t damage your wig like applying glue directly to lace would.
Q: Are these wigs good for beginners?
Steph Answers: Yes, I promise they are! I created these wigs to be luxurious enough for seasoned wearers, but intuitive enough for beginners to feel right at home. Once you’ve adjusted the nape strap to your liking, it’ll take you less than a minute to pop it on and head out the door — no glue, no fuss, no extra styling needed. And every morning after that? Seconds. You’ll feel amazing, and you’ll be stopped by compliments everywhere you go!
Q: Can I part the hair anywhere?
Steph Answers: Yes — both caps have a monofilament top, which means you can part the hair on the left, right, or down the center and it will still look like it’s growing from your scalp.
Q: How long do these wigs last?
Steph Answers: With proper care, these wigs are truly built to last. Human hair wigs — especially the way mine are constructed — can last for several years if you treat them well. Both the Signature and Essential Caps are designed with durability in mind, and the hand-tied elements in each cap actually make them more resilient than traditional machine-made wigs. I always recommend following the care tips I share to help maintain the softness, shape, and overall integrity of your piece. Think of your wig as an investment — and when treated with love and care, it’ll reward you for years to come.
