For those new to put on a wig, a common concern is how to make sure it looks totally natural when putting it on.

Don't stress! Wearing a wig is a breeze, especially for beginners. There are various methods to choose from, and in this post, we'll walk you through the simplest ways to put on a wig, regardless of your natural hair length. Plus, we'll help you decide if a wig cap is the right choice for you. So, let's dive in and make wig-wearing a piece of cake!

Getting ready to wear a wig varies based on the current state of your hair. So, we've tailored this section for those with short natural hair, long natural hair, or minimal to no natural hair.

1.Preparation:

1.1 Short Hair: Before you can put on a wig, make sure to prepare by brushing your hair back, away from your face. To secure it, simply pin your hair in place and add a spritz of hairspray. Make sure you don’t accidentally spray your wig with hairspray too!

1.2 Long Hair: When you're wearing a wig with long hair, here's a friendly tip: pin your hair up away from your face to keep it nice and flat. You've got options: go for some adorable pin curls or rock two French braids. Cross them over at the back, clip them in place, and secure them with grips. 

1.3 Minimal or no hair: For those with minimal or no hair, we usually suggest wearing a wig cap. It adds an extra layer of security, ensuring your wig stays snug and fabulous throughout the day. Plus, a wig cap can provide added comfort and protection for sensitive scalps.

Wash and comb your hair, ensuring it is dry and free from knots or tangles.

If necessary, use hairpins or headbands to arrange your hair into a smooth hairstyle.

2.Select the Right Wig Cap:

Which Wig Cap Suits You Best?

2.1 Monofilament wigs

Monofilament wigs offer two significant advantages – naturalness and versatility. These wigs incorporate a sheer polyester or soft nylon mesh at the top and crown areas, allowing your skin color to show through and achieving a lifelike scalp appearance.

2 2. Lace Front Wigs 

Lace front wigs boast one of the most realistic cap constructions. The undetectable sheer lace front on your wig creates a natural-looking hairline.

2.3 Wigs with Hand-Tied Construction Hand-tied wigs can utilize either synthetic or human hair. Every strand of hair or synthetic fiber is individually sewn onto a mesh cap using a hand-knotting technique. This method depends on manual craftsmanship and doesn't involve machines or mechanical stitching.

Ensure you choose a wig cap in the appropriate size, with the edges aligning with your hairline and the back covering your hair completely.

3.Wearing the Wig Cap:

Start putting on the wig cap from the front of your head, gradually pulling it towards the back. Ensure the cap sits comfortably, neither too loose nor too tight.

4.Adjust the Cap's Position:

Check the position of the wig cap to ensure it evenly covers your entire head. The front should not be too low, and it shouldn't cover your eyebrows.

5.Adjust the Cap's Size:

If the wig cap has adjustable fasteners or elastic bands, gradually adjust them to ensure a snug fit without being too tight.

6.Adjust the Placement of Hair Strands:

If you have long hair, use a comb to arrange the wig strands, ensuring they are evenly distributed without any crossing or confusion.

7.Styling and Enhancement:

Use styling products like hair gel or wax as needed to shape the wig, making it look more natural.

Check the overall effect to ensure the wig cap looks natural and seamlessly blends with your natural hairstyle.
