Sensationnel's Instant Weave half wigs are built around a drawstring cap. The IWD listings say the cap size can be adjusted to fit various head sizes and that the unit can be worn as a half wig or as an updo by adjusting the drawstring, with a comb for extra security. That makes it the most flexible cap we compared for wearers who want to switch between a down style and a bun. For curly hair, the Curls Kinks N Co collection uses high heat fibers on a secure adjustable drawstring cap, with styles such as Top Babe, Show Stopper and Money Maker. When we checked, Instant Weave Drawstring Cap IWD 3 cost $17.99, down from $24.99, and most Curls Kinks N Co styles ran $18.99 to $22.99. The care notes recommend a smaller head size to avoid stretching the cap, so measure before you order. Sensationnel's own site blocked our checks, so features come from product listings.
