Lace Wig Cap Constructions...
The Different Cap Constructions Explained

The world of lace wig cap constructions can be a confusing one; the popularity of lace wigs has naturally meant the development of different lace wig cap styles and here at TCPG we've put together a guide to help you decide which type of lace wig cap construction is best for your needs whether you choose a full lace wig or a lace front wig (and you can also check out the lace wig cap constructions we use).

Lace Cap Wigs: 4x4 Silk Base "Glueless" Lace Front Wig

There are many reasons for wearing a wig: it might be as a way of changing your look, as a protective style for growth hair, to cover hair loss (full or partial), or because of challenges with your natural growth hair - whatever your circumstances, there's a lace wig cap for you.

Different retail websites offer different cap constructions, so it's important that if you buy online, you're certain about that cap construction for your chosen lace wig.

TCPG Top Tip: Check the images on the item you're buying and if an image of the cap is not available; just ask - a good retailer will always be willing and able to provide image examples of their own wig caps.

Lace Wig Cap Constructions - Options for Full Lace Wig Caps

Lace Cap Wigs: Full lace without stretch

Follow the links to learn more about full lace wigs that have the following attributes:

• No stretch (lace only and nothing else)
• Ear-to-ear stretch
• Stretch tabs at the ears (also known as stretch ear tabs)
• Stretch at the crown
• Silk top (also known as hidden knots, silk base and lace injected )
• Thin skin perimeter
• Full thin skin
• No glue (adhesive) needed (also known as “glueless”)

Each guide will also outline a few of the variations for that particular lace wig cap design - we haven't shown all the possible variations as it can get a bit confusing; think about it, a full lace wig could come with a combination of elements, such as stretch in the middle and a 4x4 silk base (silk top) and adjustable straps; and then you could vary it again by adding combs,  and then vary it yet again by removing the adjustable straps but keeping the combs... see what we mean about confusing...?

Lace Wig Cap Constructions - Options for Lace Front Wigs

Lace Cap Wigs: Lace front wig without combs

If you’re new to lace wigs or an experienced wearer and are considering choosing a lace front wig instead of a full lace wig then here’s the low down on the different lace front wig cap constructions available.

Follow the links to learn more about lace front wigs that have the following attributes:

• Stretch caps (hair is hand tied onto stretch lace)
• Standard open wefts
• Don't require adhesives (also known as “glueless”)
• V-Lace front wigs
  

Much like the full lace wig cap guides, each lace front wig cap guide will also outline a few of the variations for that particular lace wig cap design; and much like the full lace wig cap guides, we haven’t shown the entire plethora of possibilities – if we did, we’d go bonkers(!)
