How to Wear a Weave 3/4 Cap
If you want to quickly change your hair style for a week or even for an evening, a ¾ cap is a way to do it. Also called express weaves or half wigs, ¾ caps are made just like regular wigs only their built to blend in with your natural hair rather than simply cover it. You can choose a curly style, a straight style, short or long. For an extra splash, they come in an array of colors to play with. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
While ¾ caps are a great way to completely change your look, you should still choose a texture of hair that is comparable to your own so the hair piece blends with your natural hair.
Some ¾ caps are made from synthetic materials and cannot be styled with heat. Be sure to read the instructions and all labels before styling or shampooing your hair piece.
