How to Put on a Hair Wig

Putting on a wig is easier than you think! Follow these simple steps for a secure and natural-looking fit.

Preparing Your Hair

Before putting on your wig, prepare your hair to create a smooth base.

Gather your hair: Pull your hair back tightly away from your face.
Secure your hair: Use bobby pins or a wig cap to keep your hair flat and tucked away. This prevents bumps and ensures a smooth, comfortable fit under the wig. A wig cap also helps to absorb sweat and keep your scalp clean.
Choose the right wig cap: Select a wig cap that matches your skin tone for a more natural look.

Position the wig: Hold the wig by the inside edges, gently place it on your head, aligning the hairline with your natural hairline.
Adjust the ear tabs: Carefully position the ear tabs (if your wig has them) against your temples. Ensure they lie flat for a secure fit and to conceal your own hair and hairline. This step is crucial for a natural look.
Secure the wig: Adjust the wig to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Many wigs have adjustable straps in the back to fine-tune the size.
Style your wig: Once the wig is in place, style it as desired. This may include brushing, combing, or using hair styling products.

Choose the right wig: Selecting a wig that matches your skin tone and hair texture is crucial for a natural look.
Consider your hairline: Pay close attention to the wig's hairline to ensure a seamless blend with your own skin.

By following these steps, you can confidently and easily put on your hair wig and achieve a natural, stylish look.
