How to Wear a Wig

A Step-by-Step Guide for Basic Cap Wigs

  • Step 1:
    Prepare Your Natural Hair

    Before putting on your wig, ensure your natural hair is secured flat and awayfrom your face.

    ·For long or medium-length hair: Braid your hair or twist it into pin curls and secure it with hairpins.

    ·For short hair or little/no hair: Use a wig cap to protect your scalp and keep the wig in place.

    ·A wig cap is highly recommended for better comfort and hygiene.

  • Step 2:
    Adjust the Wig’s Straps

    At the back of every basic cap wig, you’ll find adjustable straps or Velcro fasteners.

    ·Tighten or loosen the straps to fit your head snugly.

    ·A proper fit ensures the wig stays securely in place throughout the day.

  • Step 3:
    Put on the Wig

    Now it’s time to wear the wig:

    ·Hold the wig at the nape with both hands.

    ·Tilt your head slightly forward and place the front of the wig just above your eyebrows.

    ·Pull the wig back over your head, tucking in your natural hair as you go.

  • Step 4:
    Adjust and Style

    Ensure the wig is centered and fits comfortably:

    ·Align the front hairline using the four-finger rule: place four fingers above your eyebrows to find your natural hairline.

    ·Adjust the ear tabs so they rest evenly in front of your ears — this helps with alignment.

    ·Check for comfort and symmetry.

A Step-by-Step Guide for Lace Front Wig

Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair

Make sure all your hair is pulled back flat against your scalp.

·Medium to Long Hair: Braid or section your hair, then pin it securely.
·Short Hair or Hair Loss: Use a wig cap to protect your scalp and help the wig stay in place.

Tools You’ll Need:

① Wig cap
② Wig band (to secure lace front)
③ Small scissors (for trimming excess lace)
④ Wig adhesive / tape / temporary styling spray
⑤ Hair clips, blow dryer, mirror, and other tools

Easy to apply, suitable for daily outings.
·Wig Glue or Adhesive Tape (for long-lasting hold):
Ideal for all-day wear or special occasions.
Offers extra security and natural appearance.

Step 3: Apply and Position the Wig

·Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive along your forehead hairline.·Hold the wig at the nape and lower your head slightly.
·Align the front lace with your natural hairline and pull the wig on from front to back.
·Use your fingers to press the lace tightly and secure the edges.
·You can use the end of the comb to tuck glue under the lace for better hold.
·Using a small, sharp pair of scissors, carefully trim the extra lace along the hairline. Cut close to the hair roots without damaging the hair strands.
·Lightly tease a few baby hairs for a more realistic finish.

Step 4: Secure the Lace & Blend

·Gently pull all the hair back and lay the lace flat.
·Use a wig band to secure the lace area. Leave it
on for 5–10 minutes to help the glue set.

the lace edge to blend seamlessly with your skin tone.
