How do you style a wig topper?

Published in Wig Styling 2 mins read

Styling a wig topper involves securing it, wetting it, and then styling it as desired. Here's a breakdown of the process, based on the provided reference:

  1. Secure the Topper:

    • Position the wig topper on a wig head.
    • Open the clips attached to the topper.
    • Press each clip into the wig head material.
    • Ensure you don't overstretch the topper while securing it.
    • Repeat this step for each clip.
    • Close all the clips.
  2. Prepare for Styling:

    • Wet the entire wig topper thoroughly with water. This makes the hair more pliable and easier to style.
  3. Style as Desired: (The reference video doesn't specify the exact styling techniques, but based on general wig styling knowledge...)

    • Heat Styling: Use heat styling tools like curling irons, flat irons, or blow dryers. Always use a heat protectant spray to prevent damage. Be mindful of the fiber type of the wig topper (synthetic or human hair) and use appropriate heat settings. Synthetic hair may melt at high temperatures.
    • Cutting: Trim or shape the topper with scissors or a razor. It's generally recommended to have a professional stylist cut a wig topper, especially if you're not experienced.
    • Adding Texture: Use styling products like mousse, hairspray, or texturizing spray to add volume, hold, or texture.
    • Blending with Natural Hair: The ultimate goal is to blend the topper seamlessly with your natural hair. Pay attention to color matching and ensure the style complements your existing hairstyle.

Remember to always check the care instructions for your specific wig topper to avoid damaging it.
