Cap Alterations for a Better Fit

For your wig or topper to feel like a natural part of you, it starts with how it fits on your head.

If the cap is too loose, baggy, or putting pressure in the wrong areas, it can slide back, lift at the hairline, or feel uncomfortable to wear.

Cap alterations are customized based on your measurements and how your piece fits and moves. Rather than a single adjustment, the fit is refined where needed so it sits evenly, feels balanced, and stays in place.

Security & Comfort Solutions

Once the fit of your wig or topper is corrected, additional adjustments like velvet grip liners, clips, combs, silicone, elastic sizer replacement, and silk or diamond liners can be used to improve hold, comfort, and
how your piece wears throughout the day.

These are selected based on how your piece fits and where additional support is needed—so it stays secure and comfortable without added pressure or constant adjusting.

Security (Prevents Movement)

Silicone, velvet grip liners, clips, and combs help keep your wig in place by adding hold and stability where movement tends to occur.
