Installing a wig may initially seem complicated and tricky, but as long as you master the correct steps and skills, installing a wig is also a simple process. By following this step-by-step guide, you can install a flawless, natural-looking wig very well. Remember to be patient, and most importantly, enjoy yourself doing different styles and looks!
Here are step-by-step guidances:
- Prepare your bio hair. First, clean and condition your hair to make sure it is clean and full-nourished. If your hair is long, you can consider braiding it and sticking it flat on the scalp to lay a smooth foundation for the wig. If the hair is short, you can use a wig cap to secure the loose strands. Clean the skin around the edges of your hairline, make sure to remove excess oil from the scalp.
- Pluck the hairline. To achieve a natural-looking hairline, plucking it properly is essential and can be done with regular tweezers. Remove some hair strands so that you can break the dividing line in front. Place the wig on a wig stand with a T-shaped pins, then move it along the hairline, plucking one or two strands of hair at a time. When plucking a wig, make sure not to stay in one part. Instead, alternate plucking the wig with your hands, making sure that you are plucking from different parts every single time.
- Prepare some clips. It can hold actually quite a bit of hair. Bring your hair to the bottom of your head, sweep it into like a little bun. Put the clips around the bun area, and let the comb part goes up into the hair to hold the hair in place.
- Put on the wig grip. Situate it right on or a little bit back behind your hairline and Velcro it right under the bottom clip down, where is the nape of your neck. This will keep your wig from moving around.
- Cut the lace. Stick your head down into and then pull back. There is a clip that’s on the nape that you should stick up under the clips. This is going to need a little bit of work because it’s very flat on the top of your head. Then part the hair to one direction you like and clip the side up because you are going to cut the lace. Start trimming it right around. It is very simple. You just need to prepare a very sharp scissors to do this. Keep cutting, cutting, cutting around until the lace is off.
- Style your wig. Part it in a couple sections and take you curling iron and go the opposite direction with it. You can also take your hot comb and do the same thing. Keep messing with it, just make sure you are doing it in the reverse direction.
