wig cap colour

Okay this may seem rather silly and a bit of an obvious answer but I got a blonde wig a while back and forgot to get a wig cap. Now that I've gotten some spare money I was wondering about wig cap colors.
I can only seem to find black wig caps on trademe so does it matter if I wear a black wig cap under a blonde wig? or should I just wait a bit longer to see if any beige ones come on trademe in the next few weeks?

Depends on the thickness and quality of the wig. I've personally worn random coloured wigcaps under blonde hair before /note my lily white cosplay/

But my wig is a decent quality relatively thick wig so the wefts dont show too easily.

However if the wig you have is on the thinner side i would suggest a flesh coloured cap so you dont have to explain to people why your scalp is darker than your face :3

Another idea would be to make your own wig cap from a skin coloured stocking or pantyhose, which is what I ended up with when I realised I needed a lighter coloured wig cap for my Miki Kaoru cosplay.

^ Thats exactly what I do too. I buy cheap skin colour stocking for $1 and I use it for all wig colours. Its especially good for people with thick or longer hair.
