No, wearing a wig without a wig cap will not damage your real hair. In fact, it acts as a protective barrier to the scalp. Particularly for ladies with total hair loss, a wig cap can protect a sensitive scalp that can become irritated from a wig being worn directly on the head. As a result, wig caps can make wig-wearing more comfortable!
In addition to this, wig caps can also be beneficial for wig-wearers that have partial or no hair loss – a cap can be a brilliant way of keeping hair in place underneath a wig, allowing wearers to be able to enjoy their wig without having to worry about their own hair having a mind of its own! And while keeping hair in place, a wig cap also smooths out any unwanted bumps caused by natural hair underneath a wig. This allows a wig to sit much better on the head and produces a lovely natural look.
