Benefits of technology

[0006] The full cap is designed with cut away sections, i.e., the “keys,” that allow the wig to be adjusted to fit the average women's head size. The keys are made of a polyurethane material that can be cut into, adjusted and then sewn back together to give the most comfortable fit. The keys allow the wig fitter to “customize” the full cap design to fit the woman's head shape by removing or adding sections as needed.
