Looking for a wig that feels as breezy as it looks? Our Open Cap Wigs collection at Paula Young® (also known as Capless or Wefted Wigs) is the gold standard for lightweight comfort and enduring style. This time-tested construction features hair wefts sewn onto flexible strips with open spaces in between, rather than a solid fabric cap. These "gaps" allow for superior air circulation, making open cap wigs the number one choice for women who want to stay cool, fresh, and confident all day long.
Don't let the lightweight feel fool you—open cap wigs are heavy on style. Because the wefts are often built with a bit of "pre-teasing" at the root (known as Permatease or Permalift), these wigs offer instant, lasting volume that never falls flat. From the textured layers of the Dance shag to the timeless waves of the Celebrity wig, our collection brings you thousands of fashion-forward looks that require zero effort. Simply shake, slip on, and go!
Why You’ll Love Open Cap Wigs:
Q: Will people be able to see my scalp through the open wefts?
A: Not at all! The wefts are expertly layered and strategically placed to provide full coverage. The hair on each weft is designed to fall over and conceal the open spaces below it. However, because there is no "scalp" fabric at the part, open cap wigs typically have a specific style direction that shouldn't be drastically changed, ensuring the wefting remains hidden.
Q: What is "Permatease" and why is it in my open cap wig?
A: Permatease (or Permalift) is a crimping effect at the very root of the wig fibers. It serves two purposes: it adds permanent lift and volume to the style, and it helps conceal the cap construction underneath. If you see short, crimped hairs at the root, don't worry—it's not frizz! It's a deliberate design feature that keeps your wig looking full and fabulous.
