Stretch Mesh Wig Cap

The layer between you and the wig. Four shades so you can match it to your skin or your wig, and the one accessory we'd tell you not to skip.

What it does

Three things. It stops the cap wefting rubbing, which matters enormously on a bare or tender scalp. It absorbs sweat, so the wig itself needs washing far less often. And it stops the whole thing sliding backwards when you turn your head.

If you're wearing a wig over your own hair, it also holds that hair flat so the wig sits smooth instead of lumpy.

The details

• Stretch nylon mesh, breathable
• Four shades: black, off-white, dark brown, skin
• One size, high elasticity

How many

Wash them like socks. Two or three means there's always a clean one — people who wear a wig daily usually end up with more.
