How to Put on a Wig Step-by-Step

How to Put on a Wig Step-by-Step

Putting on a wig can feel tricky at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get started:

  1. Prepare your hair: Braid or slick back your natural hair to create a flat surface.
  2. Wear a wig band: This helps keep the wig secure and protects your hairline.
  3. Optionally, wear a wig cap: A wig cap can help keep your natural hair tucked away and create a smooth base.
  4. Adjust the straps: Before placing the wig, adjust the straps inside for a comfortable fit.
  5. Place the wig: Start by positioning the front hairline of the wig at your natural hairline.
  6. Secure the wig: Gently pull the wig over your head and adjust it so it sits comfortably and securely.
  7. Check the fit: Make sure the wig feels snug but not too tight; adjust straps if needed.
  8. Style as desired: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to blend the wig and style as you like.

Remember, patience and practice make the process easier and more natural every time.
