Abstract

The wig with recloseable part-revealing slit includes a form-fitting wig cap of vented stretch lace having a 0.5″×3″ slit extending posteriorly from the front border to form or optionally reveal a natural center or side part. The wig has comb clips attached to beneath the wig cap on opposite sides of the slit so that the slit may be completely closed by fastening the clips together when 100% coverage of the scalp is needed or desired. Alternatively, the clips may be left unfastened to leave the slit open ⅛″ to 1″ to reveal the natural scalp or hair part, when desired. Wig hair wefts adjacent the slit are also attached beneath the wig cap, and the wig hair is folded over through the slit so that hair wig wefts adjacent the slit are not visible while wearing the wig, leaving a hair part with a natural appearance.
