Why do you need a wig cap?

Wigs

 It was around the 17th century when wigs came into vogue in Europe and caused a dramatic change in the world of fashion, and up until the contemporary age, we can see them being used either for personal use after hair loss, in movies and theaters or being worn by celebrities. During medieval times wigs served as a head covering for both males and females.

Men mainly wore them to illustrate their distinctive social class, while women used to wear them to amplify their beauty. In the modern-day and age, wigs have become increasingly popular due to the availability of synthetic hairs. There are many advantages of wearing wigs: they can cover up thinning hair or significant hair loss, look natural, and boost the self-confidence of anyone struggling with their hair loss journey by providing them with an optimum solution.

Wearing wigs brings forth the responsibility of taking good care of your scalp and, ultimately, your hair underneath the wig. As wigs are worn for longer periods, they are prone to making your scalp feel irritated and even damage your natural hair, which is why this problem necessitates wearing a wig cap.
