Cap Construction

The Risk Sensitive II is built on a thoughtfully engineered cap that balances comfort, security, and a natural appearance:

• Lace Front: Creates an undetectable, natural-looking hairline
• Mono Crown: Allows for natural-looking parting directly at the crown
• Open-Wefted Base: Promotes breathability and keeps the wig lightweight
• Soft Comfort Lace Front: Made from special comfort materials that are gentle against the skin
• Adjustable Fit: Adjustable straps accommodate a range of head circumferences within the petite/average cap size

Fiber & Styling

The Risk Sensitive II is crafted from standard synthetic fiber and is not heat-styleable. Flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers should be avoided entirely to protect the fiber. The good news: the style comes pre-set and holds its shape beautifully with minimal upkeep. Light finger-styling and wig-safe products such as BeautiMark are ideal for refreshing the look day to day.

Care & Maintenance

To keep the Risk Sensitive II looking its best:

• Wash every 6–8 wears using a gentle, sulfate-free synthetic wig shampoo
• Submerge in cool water, rinse thoroughly, and apply a lightweight wig conditioner
• Never wring or rub — blot gently with a towel and air dry on a wig stand away from heat
• Store on a wig stand to preserve the cap's structure and the style's shape
• Avoid all heat sources to protect the synthetic fiber

With proper care, the Risk Sensitive II typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear, or up to 12 months or longer with occasional use.
