The present invention can be worn under any artificial head covering to maintain or increase moisture and prevent damage to the natural hair of the wearer

Problems solved by technology

The problem with wig caps currently on the market is that they are made of a nylon that does not adequately protect the hairline from the rim of the wig or the adhesive used on many wigs to secure the lace of the wig to the head and give a more natural appearance to the customer.
Further, nylon wig caps currently on the market tend to shrink or retreat from the hairline after a few hours of wear thereby exposing the hairline to the adhesives of the lace front wig or the rim of the wig causing unnecessary breakage or balding of the hairline.

Abstract

The cap is a durable flexible head covering foundation article to be used on the head of a person under an artificial head covering. The body is dome shaped and contains a smooth inner layer to protect the natural hair and hairline and to retain/provide moisture to the natural hair thereby lessening breakage along the hairline and the hair itself that can be caused by artificial head coverings. The body also includes a smooth or textured outer layer with notches above/framing the top of the ears enabling it to conform to the head of the wearer. The body further includes a reinforced rim allowing for lasting or durable stretch memory of the perimeter of the cap. The present invention contains zero to multiple openings allowing for attachment of the artificial head covering to the natural hair of the wearer.
