HOW TO WEAR A WIGUpdated 2 years ago

1. Start with a clean slate. Before putting on your wig, make sure that your own hair is clean and styled. If you have long hair, consider putting it up in a loose bun or French braid to prevent it from getting tangled in the wig. If you have shorter hair, use a light hold hairspray to keep flyaways in place. 

2. Put on your wig cap. A wig cap will help create a smooth base for your wig and also prevent your own hair from showing through. Put on the wig cap by stretching it over your head from front to back. If you are using an elasticized wig cap, be sure to position it so that the elastic band is at the nape of your neck. 

3. Put on your wig. Starting at the front of your head, carefully place the wig onto your head so that it sits evenly from left to right. Once the wig is in place, use your fingers to lightly brush through it and style it as desired. Be sure not to tug or pull at the hair too much so that you don’t damage it. 

4. Secure your wig . . . finally! To keep your wig from slipping or shifting throughout the day, use bobby pins or double-sided tape at the temples and nape of neck. And there you have it! Now you know how to wear a wig like a pro!
