Open Cap Wigs
Open Cap Wigs are called so because these wig styles comes with open wefting, which gives open cap wigs a lightweight, well-ventilated, and comfortable fit and feel. This open wefting is hidden from view using permatease technology that also adds volume without any extra weight.

Lace Front Wigs
The Lace Front wig styles are called so because they come with a lace front which, when blended well with the scalp and forehead, creates the illusion that hair is growing naturally from your own scalp.
This gives the impression of a naturalistic hairline – making them an excellent choice for women who value a seamlessly natural appearance.
Individual fibers are hand tied to the sheer lace front that looks indiscernible when placed against the skin. With this technology, wonky or unnatural wig styles are a thing of the past!
Of all the wig types, lace fronts are considered one of the easiest wigs to wear. This alone makes them a popular option for women looking for a wig.
