Wearing your wig
How do I put on and wear my wig?
Take your new hairpiece out of its packet and keep in mind to give it an vigorous shake to let air filter through into the wig fibres. They’ll tend to be a bit flat inside the packet right after shipping, and this can make your new hairpiece spring into life. For those who have or use a wig cap, place this on your head first. Ensure the front of the wig cap is sitting on your natural hair line, and that all your hair is concealed under the cap. When you have long hair and you do not have a wig cap, twist your hair into a tight French Twist and pin it to the crown of your head. You may use bobby pins to stick your own hair down flat to your head.
With the tag at the back, grasp the wig one hand each side of the netting cap and place it on your head. Slide your fingers along the rim of the cap, one to the front of the wig and one to the back, making sure as you go that the cap is covering all of your head. The wig really should not cover your ears. You can find two small tabs at the ears and they must be positioned to ensure that they’re equal on both sides in front of your ears. This can let you know that your wig is on properly and it is these tabs that will indicate the position of he wig rather than the part as a side parting wig can be easily miss-fitted if you try to use the part as a guide to its positioning. The front of your wig really should be positioned ideal at, or slightly behind, your natural hairline. You can find adjustment straps inside the back of your wig, and they can be used to tighten or loosen the wig for a more comfortable and secure fit.
Now take a look at the new you! Don’t despair if your new wig doesn’t look perfect at first, as you might need to play around with it somewhat. It is recommended you use Wig styling Merchandise rather than typical hairspray and moose, as they are not as harsh on the wig fibres. Depending on the style you’ve got bought the fringe may have to be cut to suit your face, some wigs might will need the fringe teased a little and fluffed to get them sitting the way you want. It is just like your own hair, it needs to be styled first to accomplish the best look.
