To put hair into a wig cap, start by placing the wig cap at the back of your head and then pulling it forward towards your forehead, ensuring it's smooth and tight across your hair, and adjusting any braids if necessary.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Preparation is Key: If your hair is long, it's best to prepare it first. This typically involves braiding your hair down flat against your scalp or using cornrows. This creates a smooth surface for the wig cap to sit on. Alternatively, you could wrap your hair.
-
Positioning the Wig Cap: Hold the wig cap with both hands. Begin by placing the edge of the wig cap at the nape of your neck or the back of your head, near your hairline.
-
Pulling the Cap Forward: Gently pull the wig cap forward and over your hair towards your forehead. Ensure all of your hair is contained within the cap.
-
Smoothing and Adjusting: Smooth out the wig cap so it lies flat against your head. Get rid of any bumps or loose hairs. You can adjust the wig cap for comfort and a secure fit. Make sure it is tight but not too tight to cause discomfort.
-
Securing (Optional): Depending on the wig cap type and your hairstyle, you might secure the cap with bobby pins around the edges, especially near the forehead and temples.
