The Stocking Cap Weave
(New)

This new style of weave was innovated in the USA. A stocking cap or doo rag is put over the client’s own hair. this then acts as the foundation for the weave. Wefts of hair are then bonded onto the doo rag and the weave is cut into style.
Once the hair has been cut and styled the client can then take it
off at night in a similar way to a wig.
The clients own hair can be wrapped or cornrowed or can even be bald.

The effects

Suitability
