Putting on a wig cap correctly ensures a comfortable and secure fit for your wig. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Prepare Your Hair: Flatten your natural hair as much as possible. Braiding long hair, or slicking back shorter hair with gel can help. This creates a smooth surface for the wig to sit on.
-
Optional: Apply Scalp Protector: If you have a sensitive scalp, consider spraying a scalp protector onto your head before applying the wig cap. This creates a barrier and can help prevent irritation.
-
Position the Wig Cap: Align the edge of the wig cap with your natural hairline at the front of your head.
-
Pull Over and Secure: Gently pull the wig cap back over your head, ensuring it covers all of your hair, including the nape of your neck.
-
Tuck and Smooth: Tuck the sides of the wig cap neatly behind your ears. Smooth out any wrinkles or bumps in the cap for a flat, even surface. This prevents bulges under your wig.
That's it! You're now ready to put on your wig.
