Steps
1. If your hair is long, separate the
hair into two pieces, and twist. Cross the two pieces behind your head, and clip them across the top. This is an easy way
to even your hair out on your head without a huge ponytail bulge.
2. Shorter hair can simply be combed and clipped
to the crown of the head, or placed into a few buns at the base of your neck. Or 4 buns in the 4 quadrants of your head.
3. Many
people find it helpful to braid buns their own hair before applying a wig.
4. Use a wig cap on any type of hair length
to hold it all in and ensure a smooth fit. Even if you are bald, use a wig cap. . I recommend hair spraying your whole head
once done BEFORE you add the nylon wig cap. Then apply the wig cap and pin hair under the cap smoothing as you go at the edges
to avoid YOUR hair from showing! AND provide a good base for wig applying!
5. Put the wig on your head from front to
back. There are two tabs on each front/side of the wig. Position these right in front of your ears. Don't worry if it doesn't
look perfect right away, go ahead and style it into place the way you'd like it to look. Use hair pins at the sides, front
and nape in several places to pin to your hair underneath to ensure you do not loose the wig!
6. If you'd like extra
coverage, and depending on the look you are going for, you can use accessories, such as a jeweled tiara or flowers.
Tips
• If
you are putting a wig on for the first time, allow enough time to adjust the wig before you need to leave for your event/party.
At least 1 hour!(just to be safe) Wig caps are a great help and many places sell them. I always have a few on hand!
Always
wear a wig cap, no matter what. You can also make one out of regular women's nylons.
• If you're wearing a lot of
makeup with the wig, put on the makeup before the wig. Otherwise, it might get on the wig, or the wig could get in the way
of putting the makeup on.
• Don't bend over and put your wig on upside down. You risk damaging any styling already
done to it. ONLY use good quality aerosol hair spray like BIG sexy hair on the wig it dries faster and no clumps.
• You
can add glitter to wigs by putting glitter in a salt shaker with large enough holes to accommodate the flakes and hair spray
the wig then quickly shake on the sparkle!
Warnings
• Be sure to limit the styling and heat products you are using
on your wig. Remember, you want it to last for a long time, so minimal use is best. In particular, be careful if it is synthetic
hair. HEAT and synthetic hair is DISASTER…
