A lot of wavers think wave caps and compression caps are the same thing. They are not. Each one plays a different role in the wave-building process.
If you want clean 360 waves, you need to know the difference.
What a wave cap does
• Gives surface-level compression
• Controls frizz
• Protects hair under hats
• Helps maintain a fresh brush session
• Layers perfectly over a durag
What a compression cap does
• Applies deeper pressure
• Helps during wolfing
• Lays stubborn areas
• Creates deeper definition
• Helps fix lifting patterns
Which one should you use
Use both, but for different reasons.
Wave cap for daily compression.
Compression cap for stubborn areas and wolfing.
Durag under both for maximum lay.

Should beginners use compression caps
