Putting on a fancy dress wig correctly involves a few key steps to ensure it looks good and stays secure. Here's a breakdown:
-
Prepare Your Hair:
- Flatten your natural hair as much as possible. Long hair should be braided or pinned flat against your head.
- Use a wig cap. This keeps your hair in place, prevents flyaways, and creates a smooth surface for the wig to grip.
-
Position the Wig:
- Hold the wig by the inner ear tabs.
- Tilt your head slightly forward.
- Place the front edge of the wig at your natural hairline.
-
Secure the Wig:
- Slide the wig back over your head, ensuring your natural hairline is completely covered.
- Adjust the wig until it feels secure and comfortable. Check that the ear tabs are positioned correctly in front of your ears.
- If the wig has adjustable straps, tighten them for a snug fit.
-
Style the Wig (If Needed):
- Once the wig is securely in place, style it as desired. This might involve brushing, teasing, or using styling products specifically designed for wigs. Consider the type of wig hair. Synthetic wigs require special care and products compared to human hair wigs.
- If the wig has long bangs, consider trimming them to your desired length or styling them to the side. According to the reference, bangs can be cut, pushed to the side or you can raise the wig higher on your head.
