Prepare your natural hair

• If you have long hair, tie it back or braid it close to your head to create a flat surface. This helps prevent lumps or bumps under the wig and ensures a smooth fit.
  • You can put your hair in several ponytails at the base of your neck for extra long and thick hair.
  • Then, secure the separate ponytails flat over your head.
  • Use multiple bobby pins to secure your hair down; crisscrossing the bobby pins will keep hair from moving.

Wear a wig cap

• Put on a wig cap that matches the color of your natural hair. Bobby pins can be used to secure the wig cap to your hair.
  • This will help secure your hair and create a barrier between your scalp and the wig, making it more comfortable to wear.
  • Bobby pins can be used to secure the wig cap.

Add the wig size

• Most wigs come with adaptable straps or hooks inside the cap.
  • Ensure these straps are loosened to the maximum size before putting on the wig.
  • This ensures you can tighten the wig later for a snug fit.

Hold the wig correctly

• Hold the wig with both hands inside the cap.
  • The label at the back should be at the nape of your neck, and the front of the wig should align with your natural hairline.

Slide the wig on

• Tilt your head slightly forward and start sliding the wig on from the front, moving it backward over your head.
  • Use gentle pressure to push it on and avoid tugging on the wig excessively.

Add the position

• Once the wig is on, add it to align with your natural hairline.
  • Ensure the wig is centered and sits comfortably on your head.

Secure the wig

• Depending on the fit, you may want to tighten the adjustable wig straps at the nape of the wig.
  • Remove the wig and tighten it.
  • Use the adaptable straps or hooks inside the cap to tighten the wig to your desired fit.
  • Be careful not to make it too tight, which can cause discomfort.

Tuck in any loose hair

• Now that you have a secure fit.
  • If you have stray hairs not covered by the wig, carefully tuck them under the wig cap.

Style the wig

• Depending on the type of wig, you may need to style it to achieve your desired look.
  • Use a wig comb or brush designed for wigs to style the hair.

Final touches

• Check in the mirror to ensure the wig looks natural and fits well.

Make any additional adjustments as needed

• Remember, practice makes perfect.

Putting on a wig can take some getting used to, so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t look perfect the first time. With time and practice, you’ll become more comfortable and adept at wearing wigs.
