Abstract

A wig comprises a soft plastic, impermeable cap individually molded to be complementary to the scalp of the intended wearer. A conventional wig is attached to the cap by a coupling consisting of a first strip of a feltlike material and a second strip of a material having a plurality of hooklike projections which is known as Velcro. One of the strips is attached to the cap and extends from front to rear and the second strip is affixed to the underside of a conventional wig.
