Are you wearing a wig for the first time? If yes, it’s completely normal to feel nervous and excited. You will have so many questions in your mind, like how it will look. How to wear a wig? Will it stay in place? Will people get to know that you are wearing a wig? Don’t worry- we have answers to all your questions!

At The Gorgeous Hair, we understand how important it is to understand how you can wear and style your wig. With these simple tips, you can easily wear your wig with confidence. Our guide will walk you through every detail that you need to know on choosing the right wig to putting it on, to caring for it like an expert.

Step 1- How to choose the right wig?

Before you learn about the steps to wear your wig, you must choose the wig for yourself that suits both your face and style. 

  • Decide on the type of wig.

The two types of wigs in the market are: One is a synthetic wig, and the other is a 100% human hair wig for women.

  • Synthetic wig: These wigs are particularly affordable and come in pre-set styles. They are ready-to-wear wigs.

     

  • Human hair wigs: they look more natural and will also last longer. You can style them with heat. We offer 100% human hair wig that seamlessly blends with your natural hair.

     

  • Select the right cap size

You should measure your head using a soft tape to ensure a good fit. If your wig is too tight, it will be too uncomfortable, and if it’s too loose, it may slip off.

  • Select the style and colour 

Go for a hairstyle and colour that looks good on your face. For the first time, choose something very close to your natural hair.

Step 2- Start prepping your natural hair 

We usually get to hear this question about how to wear a wig with short hair and how to wear a wig with long hair. It is important that you prepare your natural hair, and it completely depends on the length of your hair.

  • If you have short hair, brush it flat against your scalp using a wig cap. A wig cap will help you hold your hair in place and will create a smooth surface.

  • If you have long hair, divide your hair into small braids. You can also wrap it flat around your head. Use proper pins to secure the wig neatly. 

Step 3- Apply the wig

Here are a few steps that you need to follow to apply your wig like a pro

  • Use a Wig Cap

This is a thin, stretchy cap you wear underneath your wig. It helps hold your natural hair in place and gives the wig something to grip onto.

  • Hold the Wig properly 

Make sure you hold the wig properly with both hands. Tilt your head slightly forward and then place the front of the wig on the forehead's hairline.

  • Pull your wig back

Next step, you need to slide the wig backwards over your head until it fits comfortably. You must secure your wig properly.

  • Adjust the wig

Use the adjustable strap inside your wig to tighten and loosen the wig as per the requirement. Make sure it fits properly, but it should not be too tight. 

  • Secure the wig

If you are planning to wear them for a longer time, use clips, combs, or glue tape to secure them properly. 

Step 4- Style your wig

Now comes the fun part- styling your wig. All our wigs are made up of 100% human hair, so you can easily curl, straighten and style them according to your own preference. Always remember that you can use heat tools for styling only on human hair wigs.

Step 5- Make it look more natural 

A wig can elevate your entire look. These tricks will make your hair look natural-

  • You can add a little foundation on the parting of the wig to match your scalp.

  • Pull out the strands of your natural hair in front to make it look natural.

  • You need to blend your baby hair to soften the hairline.

Step 6- Care tips for your wig

If you take proper care of your wig, it will last longer and look more beautiful every time you wear it.

How to wash your hair wig

  • Make sure you are washing it after every 8-10 wears.

  • Only use shampoo and conditioner that is sulfate-free.

  • Comb your wig gently from the ends to the roots before you wash it.

  • Air dry your wig on a wig stand.

Daily care tips

  • You need to store it on a wig stand or in a soft box.

  • Detangle your hair gently before and after use.

  • We recommend avoiding sleeping and taking a shower with the wig on.

Step 7- Building confidence 

Maybe initially, you don’t feel confident, but it’s common to happen. Most people who wear wigs feel this way in the beginning. Here’s how you can feel more confident-

  • You need to practise wearing a wig at home.

  • Ask your friends for honest feedback about how it looks on your face.

  • Always remember, you look gorgeous.
