Classic Cut is the middle ground between the cheap short cuts and the premium lace front styles. HairUWear describes it as a collar-length page with a Sheer Indulgence monofilament crown "for a smooth contour," and it uses Tru2Life heat-friendly synthetic hair, so the maker says you can style it straight or add a soft wave. The front has a velvet-lined rim instead of lace, which is comfortable on the forehead but means the hairline should be worn with the front hair falling forward. It is built on a Memory Cap II and comes only in an average cap. Although it is not on the brand's Bestsellers page, its Headcovers listing had 45 reviews when we checked, the second highest count among the styles here, so it is a popular choice. At $259.99 it costs about $80 more than the short Vibralite styles and about $210 less than Upstage.
Who it is for
Fans who want a longer, classic page with a natural-looking crown without paying for lace and hand-tying.
Price
From $259.99 at Headcovers (retail $315.00).
