Wefted wigs incorporate a seam that holds a base of hairs (wefts) together on the cap, with the top of the construction usually left as an open cap. Having the open wefts allows the scalp to breath whilst the wig is worn. The presence of wefts throughout the middle of the cap means that there is no solid cap incorporated in the wig. Because of this, this type of wig is sometimes known as ‘capless’. The end result is a light and breathable wig that is comfortable to the wig-wearer.
What Is a Weft?
A weft is an individual strand of hair, which is either a synthetic hair fiber, or human hair fiber that has been stitched/sewn onto a material to create a row of hair strands.
Advantages of a Wefted Wig:
One of the key advantages of having a wefted wig construction is that it is airy and breathable, allowing for better air circulation to keep your head cool. This is idea for those living in warmer climates, or wig-wearers on holiday. The whole idea of this is that you can feel as comfortable as possible while wearing your wig.
