Half wigs and full caps sit at the simple end of the wig wall: no lace, no adhesive, and nothing to customize before wearing. All four Kelly Beauty stores carry both, and the choice is about how much of your own hair you want to use.
A half wig covers the back and sides, leaving your own front hairline and edges out to be blended over the top. That gives a completely natural front with no lace to melt and no glue to remove. It goes on in seconds. It works when your own front hair is healthy enough to blend and matches the piece reasonably in texture.
A full cap covers everything, with a machine-made cap and no lace panel. It's the most durable construction on the wall, since there's no delicate lace to tear, and usually the most affordable. The trade is the hairline, which is a wig hairline rather than an imitation of a scalp, so it reads as a wig at close range.
Half wigs suit anyone protecting most of their hair while keeping a natural front. Full caps suit anyone who wants a complete, quick change with no blending and no fuss, and they're the practical choice for wearing under a hat or wrap, or for someone with little or no hair of their own to blend.
The join is everything. Leave out enough of your own front hair to cover the edge of the piece, and match the texture: if you straighten your leave-out, a straight piece blends, and if you don't, a kinky-textured piece matches far better. A little edge control settles the front so the transition disappears.
