Definitions: Cap Constructions & types
Standard Cap
A standard cap is the most common and most affordable cap design. The layers of hair are open-wafted in the back and sides to allow for ventilation and may have a closed lace layer at the crown. The hair at the crown is often lightly teased or crimped so you cannot see down through the cap. This type of cap often gives the hair a natural lift at the crown for volume. However, this cap can be a bit heavier and get warmer to wear this being less comfortable than a cap with a monofilament top.
Memory Cap
Monofilament Construction
monofilament fabric gives you the ability to knot hair fibers into the wig cap one hair (or a few hairs) at a time. Gives the appearance that the hair is actually growing from the scalp. Thin, breathable fabric is placed at the hairline or the front of the head toward the crown section. The top portion of the cap is specially woven to allow for comfort and excellent ventilation. This helps to prevent irritation and itchiness. It will "Breathe" while being worn, thereby preventing heat and moisture build up. Monofilament is considered to be one of the most desirable of wig types. Most women, especially those who wear wigs every day, feel that its superior durability and natural look more than justify the additional cost.
Double Monofilament Construction Provides another layer of monofilament mesh to cover the knots of hair for softer contact. Partial Monofilament Combines the natural look of a monofilament with the style retention of machine made wefting.

What is Silk top? The silk top, consists of a layer of lace, and silk fabric on the top front of the cap. When the hair is knotted, the knots are below the silk concealed between the layers, the hair is then injected through the silk material making the knots 100% invisible giving the illusion that the hair is actually growing out of your scalp. There is no other ventilation technique that creates a more flawless appearance than hidden knots on a silk top, you don’t need to bleach the knots, you don’t need to worry about any other technique to make the knots invisible or less visible.
